Portland Mayor Pepper Sprays Man Who Confronted Him
https://www.newsmax.com/politics/portland-ted-wheeler-pepper-spray-mayor/2021/01/25/id/1007179/
--- Quote ---Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler on Sunday night pepper sprayed a man who confronted him with a video camera as he was leaving a restaurant, The Oregonian reported.
Wheeler was asked about the incident at a press conference Monday, and said he was confronted by a man he described as middle aged and not wearing a mask as he left a local restaurant. The man accused him of violating the city's coronavirus mandate because he was not wearing a mask while he was eating dinner.
Wheeler said he told the man he had been eating in a tented area that does not require masks under current guidelines.
"He had no face mask on and got within a foot or two of my face while he was videoing me," Wheeler said, according to a police report of the incident. "I became imminently concerned for my personal safety."

Ted Wheeler violated his own order, but wait there is more.
--- Quote ---It is not the first time Wheeler has been confronted recently. A group of left-wing activists confronted him inside a restaurant and some made physical contact with him earlier this month.
During protests last summer over racial justice, some demonstrators smashed windows and set fires in his condo building, forcing him to move.

Another Night Of Vandalism But This Time Portland Police Kettle 100 And Arrest 13
https://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2021/03/13/another-night-vandalism-portland-100-detained-13-arrested/
--- Quote ---Last night, after a large group of Antifa goons marched around the city smashing windows, police surrounded all 100 of them and would only release them one at a time after photographing their faces. Some in the group refused and 13 people were arrested.
Those that were being detained were identified and photographed, as part of a criminal investigation, before being released,” PPB said in a release early Saturday. “Some refused to comply and locked arms together in an effort to interfere with the investigation. Officers escorted them away and they were arrested.”
PPB said officers found several items left behind by people inside the perimeter, including a crowbar, hammers, bear spray, slugging weapon with rocks, high impact slingshot, and knives.
“As the event unfolded, groups formed on the outside and physically challenged officers. Some threw rocks and full cans of beer at officers,” PPB said. “Officers deployed some OC spray and one impact munition.”
The tactic the police used last night is known as kettling and is very unpopular with the far left because it works. Today OPB has a story painting it as a violation of civil rights:
The controversial tactic, known as kettling, has been at the center of multiple lawsuits and is broadly criticized by civil rights advocates as dangerous and so indiscriminate as to violate civil rights…
Controversy over kettling won’t be new for Portland city leaders. In 2017, the Portland Police Bureau detained at least 389 people during protests between the far-right group Patriot Prayer and counterprotesters. That event led to two federal civil rights lawsuits alleging the officers made no attempt to distinguish between protesters, bystanders, and press.
Ultimately, the courts found that PPB had not violated the protesters’ civil rights.

what are they protesting now?
The democrat party cheating the system got their comatose candidate into the WokeHouse, the borders wide open, gas prices shooting thru the roof and they have put us so far into debt with their "rescue America" bullshit bill that our great great great great grandchildren will still be paying for all the pork it contains.

More riots break out in Portland, on anniversary of George Floyd's death
https://justthenews.com/nation/crime/more-riots-break-out-portland-anniversary-george-floyds-death
--- Quote ---Over 200 people joined late-night riots in Portland on Tuesday, the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death.
Police said the rioters vandalized businesses and launched fireworks and large objects at police officers. Police said at least five people were arrested on charges including criminal mischief.
In Minneapolis, where Floyd died May 25, 2020, while in police custody, shots were fired where Floyd was killed, an intersection renamed George Floyd Square to recognize his death.
