Portland Ore is really sad, in my day riot's went from the police need to stop them after all a riot is illegal. To give them some time to burn off that hostility and then move in and allow them an exit. Let them get away if they wish to flee. Next was those that did not flee got arrested and DAs office and Mayor refused any prosecution. Even to the point that the ones who beat or injury cops got dismissed. Next was let them riot its just property being damaged, they will go away. Will some just keep burning and stealing. So cops interduce non lethal weapons and protests start up over cops using non lethal weapons on rioters. Mayor outlaws pepper gas, bean bags, striking weapons against rioters. What's the point of having any cops respond to any riots in Portland. All outside PDs quit going to support the police when they radioed HELP. Due to the city not charging the crooks that they fought and arrested. It's been a few years since I was in downtown Portland but am told most buildings are boarded up and many business moved to other cities. Yet Dems who allow all the illegal stuff to continue still control the city and state. They cannot blame Trump any longer, unsure who they blame now.
