Portland man repeatedly struck federal officers with car: Justice Department

A Portland man is accused of chasing two federal officers on an Oregon roadway and trying multiple times to hit them with his car – successfully crashing into their vehicle twice, the U.S. Justice Department announced Wednesday.

Albert, 55, faces up to eight years if convicted.

The pair of officers, who were in uniform and wearing “visible police patches and a badge,” had just left the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building in Portland in a rental car, officials said. They were heading back to their hotel when one of the officers spotted a gray SUV – allegedly being driven by Albert – passing them on the left.

Authorities said Albert looked toward the officers before he “turned sharply” and nearly crashed into their vehicle.

“The driving officer made several attempts to change lanes and pass Albert, but Albert swerved in either direction to block their vehicle,” police said. “After positioning his vehicle to the officers’ left, Albert turned sharply to the right, striking the officers’ vehicle and causing his own vehicle to spin before coming to a stop.”

I thought a vehicle used as weapon is a deadly wepon and should be charged with attempted murder.

Because they are not allowed to shoot at the back of a fleeing vehicle unless they are doing it to protect someone from harm.

I live in a Republican County about 30+ miles south of Portland, OR. We haven’t voted for a Democrat in a Presidential Election since 1964. Before 1964 it was 1940.

All Federal, State and City governments have been shutdown since “virus hysteria” hit our nation.

The Public sector in Oregon are a bunch of pussies, who are afraid to show up for work. They would prefer to work from home, while still getting paid. Also most State and local government agencies are closed to the public.

“Only government lives matter” in the State of Oregon.

Including the schools in a lot of other states. Many voters are realizing for the first time that the teachers unions really don't care about their kids. Unlike nurses, or hospital cleaning crews who did their jobs in the middle of real health risks, many teachers would rather sit home and look at a zoom screen than get back to work.

This is a great opportunity for parents to try out alternatives to public school education.

I have a four year old son who will be getting an education, regardless of what public schools do.

I’ll pay a good educator a decent sum for tutoring services.

Talented teachers that enjoy their profession, will advertise and survive. Mediocre educators will find a new line of work.

isn’t attempted murder a longer sentence?

Yes, and know that we need to get the vote out. I saw some Trump 2020 bumper stickers in a Walmart parking lot yesterday. Those were encouraging.

If anyone had bothered any one of those cars, several of those of us in the parking lot at the time would have been getting videos, getting identifying information and calling the cops. Nearly everyone has smart phones with good video capabilities now. Every one of those cars were safe.

We Trump supporters are in pretty good shape. Here are some statistics from the 2018 midterms.

2018 Democrat seats picked up in the House of Representatives +41.(40 Republican cowards retired before the election)

AZ +1
CA +7
CO +1
FL +2
GA +1
IL +2
IA +2
ME +1
MI +2
NJ +4
NM +1
NY +3
OK +1
PA +4
SC +1
TX +2
UT +1
VA +3
WA +1

60,572,245 53.4% Democrat total votes.
50,862,970 44.8% Republican total votes.

Senate seats +2 Republican

Total vote 34,723,013 Republican
52,260,651 Democratic

The Democrats maxed out their voting ceiling in 2008, when Obama got almost 70 million votes. They then “shot their wad” in 2018, with the Mueller farce investigation at its apex.

With urban areas in chaos and colleges shutdown in 2020, as well as Biden/ Harris being a weaker ticket than Clinton in 2016.

Trump can only lose by a fluke of nature. The Democrats have zero solutions for our nation, only destructive policies. A Biden win would stagnate us for a minimum of 5 years and a max of 10.

Thank you!

There is one more consideration, though. Four more years’ worth of young folks have reached voting age since 2016, and we know about the brainwashing they’ve been receiving from public schools, colleges and universities. They tend to vote more often in general elections. Maybe we should get more active in our communities, just in case. Besides, a greater conservative popular vote might be a good idea.

“Why is the Perp still breathing?”

Because none of the officers I know and have worked with were there.

His car is a deadly weapon and he used it to try and kill two federal officers. He should have been DRT’d. (dead right there)
