Sheriffs say they won't help governor's plan to stop Portland protest violence

Clackamas Co. Sheriff Craig Roberts said the governor didn’t approach his office before rolling out the plan, intended to address the violence and arson while also protecting free speech.

“Increasing law enforcement resources in Portland will not solve the nightly violence and now, murder,” the sheriff said. “The only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence.”

Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett cited several risks that led to the decision, including "the lack of political support for public safety, the uncertain legal landscape, the current volatility combined with intense scrutiny on use of force."

Kate Brown is on-boarding with the DNC's new narrative....."We have finally had it with Trump's divisiveness in our community. So, now I finally have to step in". Sadly, this new "branding" or "narrative" may grow legs with Low IQ voters before the election.....I hope Trump can/will anticipate this distortion of narrative......Kate Brown and Ted Wheeler stand alone, unsupported on the national law enforcement stage.

Read between the lines Kooky Kate.

A waste of their time. They know that they will be thrown under the bus at the first opportunity.

The Willamette Week reports that most of the 550 cases of protest criminal acts will be dropped by newly appointed Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt. Of the 550 cases, 47 will be followed up for prosecution with another 86 cases pending.

Gee, I wonder why other law enforcement agencies don't want to send their personnel into Portland.

Good for the sheriff! Sending cops in there to just stand and watch and get stoned and cursed at with their hands tied behind their back is beyond stupid.

Tell the bitch governor and the eunuch mayor that they can do that themselves.

And she's ugly enough, she'd scare them away with just her face.

Spend all that time and energy to arrest people ...only to have them let go? F that.

They go under the bus while detainees get released and probably put on a bus.

“We have finally had it with Trump’s divisiveness in our community. So, now I finally have to step in”.
********************************************************************************
The divisiveness is pushed night and day by the LSM brainwashing synchophants.

Your community is YOUR responsibility, and you should have done something long ago-like keep the people arrested in jail instead of having a revolving door.

Pat Garret is correct, holding people accountable and reaping the consequences of their actions is important.

Kate is hundreds of days late and a trillion dollars short.

It’s all an election video for Trump that he can use across the entire state of Oregon. State-wide, I would imagine one out of every four votes for Hillary in 2016....probably won’t exist for Joe Biden.

People in Oregon need to wake up and get rid of their commie Governors and Mayors and join the Real world.

What, exactly, is the point of asking for or even demanding that law enforcement aid in Portland when the Portland DA and Mayor will turn around and let those rioting SOB law breakers free virtually immediately after being arrested?
