Portland Mayor: my biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets

[GURPS]

Chaos has broken out in the city’s streets, frequently aimed at federal property as activists and some local leaders have objected to the presence of federal officers.

Over the weekend, a 23-year-old demonstrator allegedly struck a federal officer in the head with a hammer outside a courthouse. The demonstrator is accused of beating a hole into the building's door with the hammer before officers came outside. Then he struck the officer in the head and shoulder with the hammer before being taken into custody, according to the Portland Police Bureau.

Oh but NO Criticism about 23 million in losses to businesses done by rioters

Um, yeah, anyone who is beating holes in things - including other people - is not a "demonstrator".

And Ted Wheeler is an asstard. But obviously not as big an asstard as the people who voted for him. So to hell with them - they got what they wanted.

It wasn't the Federal Officers who brought the violence to their streets.
It was mostly the Cowardice of a Mayoral Administration that kissed rioters butts,

Is that still going on? Don't they have some urban gardens to tend or something before they run out of food?

If the asshat mayor let his local police do their jobs the federal officers would not be needed. SInce he wont, the federal police are protecting the taxpayers property.

The idiot with the hammer is lucky to be alive. Cameras or not, I catch you hitting my partner in the head with a hammer and you leave the scene in a body bag.
