Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) on Thursday ordered the Portland Police Bureau to cease using a form of tear gas as riots continue to plague the Democrat-run city.
The Oregonian reports:
The declaration that officers will no longer unleash CS gas comes after 105 straight days of protests that have seen city and federal officers deploy tear gas on participants. Over that time, people have also repeatedly been subjected to gas by Portland police in their cars or homes while not participating in the demonstrations. [ ]
Public records show Portland police have spent tens of thousands of dollars on less-lethal munitions and tear gas canisters in response to nightly protests.
During the last hundred days Portland, Multnomah County and state police have all relied on CS gas where there is a threat to life safety, Wheeler, who also serves as Portlands police chief, said in a video statement. We need something different. We need it now.
Below is Wheelers full statement:

In a statement to The Oregonian, Oregon State Police Captain Timothy Fox said: The OSP will be forced to assess our involvement in assisting the city of Portland.
We will not for force our troopers into this untenable situation and limit their ability to defend themselves and others, he added.
Oregon State Police slammed the move by Wheeler as reckless and short sighted.
Wheeler was previously teargassed as he met with protesters back in July.
President Donald Trump and Chad Wolf, Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, have repeatedly warned Wheeler that the administration could re-send federal resources into Portland to quell violent unrest.

“At what point will this become unbearable, if it has not already?”
Maybe not until Wheeler’s Antifa successor, Sarah Iannarone, is elected, if then.
all the rioters need to be forced towards the mayors house!
Either that or break out the dogs and fire hoses seems the only non-lethal force options still available.
Old ways are the best ways
How bout an old-fashioned wood shampoo and tune-up?
Every cop in the USA is voting for Donald Trump.
Use that skin burning microwave generator.
One of Sarah’s milder progressive proposal:
Retrofit urban golf courses and other environmentally degrading land uses (e.g. former fossil fuel terminals) to ecologically sound, mixed-income, LBTQ-friendly, intergenerational, transit-oriented neighborhoods as well as habitat restoration and reclamation projects.
and
Prohibit all new fossil fuel infrastructure including the Zenith Petroleum Terminal and I-5 Rose Quarter Freeway expansion projects and manage the rapid decline of existing fossil fuel infrastructure in line with climate science and social justice needs; restrict residential natural gas build out
Portlanders will go wild over this platform!
Apparently the democrats that live there and voted for this are not putting sufficient pressure on the governor to do anything.
Groups of doctors go to the riots and stand off to the side for immoral support.
The state police have significantly pulled pulled out of Portland and are reassessing their remaining commitment.
Sheriffs and surrounding police will not go in because Ted won’t let them use proper tactics or be indemnified.
Citizens that have counter protested have been arrested. The local news calls people who try to stop the violence extremists and excuse the rioters behavior as the good cause.
They blame Trump for the violence.
What’s your plan?
Do you know what part of town she lives in?
I vote a permanent blue paint. First, it will easily identify them as being rioters; just look for blue faces and hands. Secondly, they will appear a lot less scary, unless one has a fear of smurfs.
So why would the cops respond AT ALL? Screw Wheeler and his fellow Communists. Let the sink into the sewer they’ve created.
As his hero Bill Ayers would say: “burn baby, burn”!
The pictures with the orange sky looks like something out of a sci-fi disaster movie.
Liquid manure with pink dye.
“Whats your plan?”
Let’s first consider what the Democrat’s plan is. They intend to use the highly trained and funded anarchists currently destroying Portland to reign destruction throughout the country after the November elections and intimidate Americans into accepting the mail-in ballot fraud. We have to stop these criminals now, before the election.
My plan is Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, we federally deputize the Oregon State Police, arrest Mayor Wheeler and his D.A. along with every single one of those Antifa/BLM terrorists. We restore law and order, along with the Constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government to the city of Portland. Similar measures should be taken in every Democrat controlled hell-hole currently burning.
If any of those Occupy scum so much as litter during their proposed “Siege” of the White House let them sit out the rest of the election season in Guantanamo.
“Let’s?” You gotta a mouse in your pocket? You got point, General - lead the way.
“Exactly what weapons or defenses are allowed for the Portland police?”
Screw ‘em. They knew they were signing up with a filthy democrat shithole of a city. If they want to do the Lord’s work they should go to one of the few normal cities still left in America.
Actually, I want it to burn down because it’s an ugly city full of idiots and it was that way long before Trump got elected. :P
The Mayor needs to be arrested as a domestic terrorist co-conspirator.
Enough is enough.
