Portland, Ore., police Chief Chuck Lovell on Wednesday morning decried violent instigators who he said are marring the message of mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters. "Portlanders need to send a strong message that enough is enough," Lovell told reporters at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, according to KGW-TV in Portland. "This is not forwarding the goals that are going to lead to better outcomes for people of color. This movement is really powerful, but the violence has taken away from it. ... This is not what Portland is about. This is not what we need in our city." The protests, which have sometimes turned into late-night riots focused on the Multnomah County Justice Center and the federal courthouse, have continued unabated for more than two months since the May 25 death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

Also, yeah right.
If theres so called racial injustice in DemoRat controlled cities and states then the fault lies with the DemoRats, no? In Portland and Seattle its DemoRats in control with majority DemoRats voters. Rioting against themselves cabal of lunatics.
Chief...... guess what?
Portland isn’t. There is no functioning government. Governance has been surrendered to a mob
You have a meaningless title with no authority
Good one!
I'd rephrase that in a less politically correct manner: For whatever reason (cultural, genetic) American blacks currently have a higher incidence of violent behavior than many other identifiable groups of the population. The rest follows, both in and out of the black community.
The morning of Dec 7th, 1941 was “mostly peaceful”, until the Japanese showed-up.
President Kennedy’s trip to Dallas was “mostly peaceful”, until a Leftist-Communist opened a 4th floor window.
See my post #26...
LOL.
Racial justice - is complete BS.
What exactly can blacks not do in today’s society? In fact talk about ‘privilege’ blacks today get extra consideration in many instances. So again ‘racial justice’ is complete BS
No $h*t Sherlock.
Well, now we know the problem with the Portland Police:
Their leader failed at being a CHIEF because he was never a BRAVE!
“Mostly peaceful” my ass. If you are participating in a riot, you are as guilty as everyone else. The longer the riots are allowed to continue, the more violent they will become. The answer is to arrest people by the hundreds and impose a curfew after dark and then enforce it.
I am beginning to see a problem. It may involve the mayor and city council...
