Portland mayor condemns rioters for 'attempting to commit murder'

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.

“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.

"Don’t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are," he said. "You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign. If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.”

Day late, dollar short Mayor idiot finally figures it out. There is a mountain of liberal mayors that put themselves in the same situation and want to "defund the police" which really means "defund the police" no matter which dishonest way you try to spin it. If you remove existing funds that the police get regardless of what you do with them it is defunding the police. This stupid "defund the police" **** is backfiring on liberal mayors all over the country. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that people won't stop breaking the law if you remove the police. There is a reason they had that many police in the first place. That reason didn't magically go away. The Democrats are throwing away this election. Thanks BLM and AntiFa!!!!!!!

 

Nobody wants to ABOLISH the Police.

"Defunding The Police" is a completely different thing that refers to prioritizing money allocated in budgets.

^And, Everybody (unless they are pushing a False Narrative) Understands the Difference.

Once again, Nobody wants to ABOLISH the Police, and Trump's Utterly Absurd Scare-Mongering is both delusional and comical.

But, yeah, the Mayor is obviously correct.

No one should try to burn an occupied building.

And this part:

"Don’t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are," he said. "You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign..."

^No kidding. The Mayor is spot on.

Since it is pretty obvious that Trump's Dirty Tricks Squad is bankrolling these protests to create a False Flag "narrative" to blame on "The Left".

 

So setting a building full of cops on fire and blocking the exits is not an attempt to abolish police?

 

Watch the nightly news ignore this attempt at mass murder by their buddies

 

Well I guess the Feds weren't the problem after all?

 

The democrats want to abolish the police. This is what you get.

 

They may be back after this mass murder attempt

 

From the link you obviously didn’t read.


“Wednesday night’s violence in a residential neighborhood on the east side of the city began after a group of about 100 people gathered in a nearby park for a rally advertised on social media by the group Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front with the slogan “No cops. No prisons. Total abolition." “

 

Thanks for proving my point.

Who used the word "abolish"? Only you did in a dishonest attempt to misrepresent what I said. If they cut the police force by thousands or cut their budget by a large parentage then it is "defunding the police.

No matter how you want to spin it they left wants to "defund the police" regardless of the desires of most of the country.

Imagine that. The left was wrong again. The problem was a bunch of spoiled self centered biscuit bitch wearing pieces of ****.

 

"We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of Globalism. No American citizen should ever feel that their needs come second to a foreign country."-POTUS Trump. In 2020, we can choose between stability or chaos. Pragmatism or blinded hatred, love for our fellow citizens or anarchists violating our streets. For those who love country the choice is obvious.

 

That's typical.

Most movements are neither well organised, or disciplined. This is esp true of American kids...

But, from the very beginning, among the people that started this and among legislators it was about putting more emphasis on effective programs that will work in the real world. You don't need a gun in a lot of situations. You do need to pay attention to it, and that means being there before things go to hell.

I've said that several times, the media (the sane media) has said that many times, the leaders both inside and outside Washington have said this many times.

But there are always clowns that only care about getting their cheap shots in.

 

I don't know how they can make it any clearer.

Maybe they could tattoo it on your forehead?

 

I love that this Democrat mayor CLEARLY doesn't give a **** that people might have been burned alive - he just cares that the Trump Campaign will use this latest Democrat-instigated insanity against the Democrats.

They will of course.

Democrat politicians: Dangerous psychopaths

Trump: Headed to victory in November

 

Agreed, since Biden is the furthest thing from functioning

 

The message on that COVID Hoax face diaper lets out Rapin' Joe, so Trump it is.

 

I find it telling that Mayor Wheeler who on a scale of other incompetent mayors in democrat run cities would surely rank in the top three, would worry more about "creating an ad for the Trump campaign" than being outraged by the attempt of rioters to burn police officers alive in their own precinct building.

 

Can't get any sicker than that

 

Only black lives that were killed by the police matter. All the rest of the murders in the country don't matter. SO really BLM thinks that only nine (9) lives mattered in 2020. That is the only lives that really boost their contributions to any large degree.

 

This is what the left's policing policy will get us:

 

Oh yes, it can. Look at the comments by the four foot Mayor Lori Lighthead of Chicago.

 

She's a freakin loon.

 

You will literally say anything regardless of how absurd it is.

I guess it sucks knowing your side is responsible for so much suffering and chaos.
