Why Portland Police Stand By Passively When Leftists Riot

Quote:So what is the matter with Portland police? Videos recorded in the city since 2016 have highlighted instances of chaos where marauders appear to take over the streets, stop traffic, assault people and damage property with impunity. Frequently, police officers are recorded standing back and watching the criminal acts from a safe distance.

Quote:While Wheeler has borne the brunt of public criticism about Portland police's "laissez-faire" approach to crowd control, interviews with those at the PPB reveal that Portland's problems with violent protests stem not from the inadequate leadership of any one person, but systemic and pervasive factors affecting police, government and the city itself.

One viral video recorded by a local YouTuber at the protest earlier this month fueled the perception that police are given "stand down" orders. After being chased by a group of black-clad protesters, the cameraman runs up the steps of the Multnomah County Justice Center, where a police officer tells him: "We're not going to come out and save you."

So plain and simple Corporate backer of Antifa and members of the legal community and judiciary there, also likely helped by corporate backing intimidate the police with a black mark against their careers if they get involved.

If that is indeed the case the police should let the city turn on itself and they should seek employment elsewhere.

my former boss lives in PDX.....I toss him a few jibs and jabs a year to this day.....

he hates that liberal shitehole....it's sad....it's a drop dead gorgeous landscape.....

at least he lives on the bank of Lake Oswego....that's a major escape...it's a shiTTTy drive down I-5 during peak times, but easily worth escaping all that other bs....

Hitler was able to excuse everything he did with fear of Stalin, or Jews; and Stalin excused everything he did with fear of Hiler, or counter revolutionaries, or priests.

And the 2 were among histories greatest butchers, with Stalin actually getting a higher body count.

It is not of any practical concern whatsoever what Antifa claims to be against. It is what Antifa does that is inexcusable.

Those antifas should try doing something in Texas. Not even Austin would stand still for that.
