Portland-based newspaper deletes tweet amid backlash

The Oregonian newspaper received fierce backlash Friday after it revealed the race of the victim of a police-involved shooting in Portland in an apparent effort to quell potential riots.

The Portland-based paper reported that police had responded to reports of a man in a park with a gun.

The victim was described by the paper, which cited sources, as a "[W]hite man in his 30s."

...."Did a newspaper just imply that they leaked info about the skin color of a police shooting victim in order to avert a riot? Or is something else going on here?" journalist Zaid Jilani asked.

"'No need to riot on this one, he was [W]hite' - this newspaper, basically," The Daily Wire reporter Ryan Saavedra similarly expressed....

darned if you do, and darned if you don't

In the future, all news outlets should simply agree to make no further identification of police-shooting victims other than "riot-worthy" or "not riot-worthy."

I didn’t know Portland, OR had a problem with people rioting.
Isn’t the right to riot in the city charter?

I am sure they have thought about that.

White lives don't matter. Ever. Get with the program. Sheesh.

[cherry]

that’s the unwritten message....”why are you publishing that the victim was white” as in “how dare you” infer whites are victims....

Perhaps we should go with Bright Lives Matter...

I think the requirement in the City charter requires it must be done at night and you destroy at least one statue, park, etc. in the process.

[Old Yeller]

White lives don’t matter except for producing goods and services, and paying your damn taxes.

It is now considered racist to report the truth.

[Vigilanteman]

Just curious. What is the difference between a:

1. [W]hite man
   
2. White man and
   
3. white man?

I see no problem with riots in Portland. It seems to be what they do there. They riot in their downtown.
People here fish for small mouth bass downtown. Seriously. Here’s a video

“journalist” ignorance

Biden and Harris are the Monroe brothers (Green Acres Program) and they did inner breed and they became state leaders.

Democrat family tree to a tee.

"Did a newspaper just imply that they leaked info about the skin color of a police shooting victim in order to avert a riot? "

Well that would be a bad thing, wouldn't it? Asking for a friend.

Mannnn, why do they have to make the rules so complicated!? :D
