Mayor of Portland, Oregon gets tear gassed by federal agents

[Billiejeens]

PORTLAND, Ore. – the mayor of Portland, Oregon, was tear gassed by the U.S. government late Wednesday as he stood at a fence guarding a federal courthouse during another night of protest against the presence of federal agents sent by President Donald Trump to quell unrest in the city.


Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, said it was the first time he’d been tear gassed and appeared slightly dazed and coughed as he put on a pair of goggles someone handed him and drank water. He didn’t leave his spot at the front, however, and continued to take gas.

Around Wheeler, the protest raged, with demonstrators lighting a large fire in the space between the fence and the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse and the pop-pop-pop of federal agents deploying tear gas and stun grenades into the crowd.

"It wasn't immediately clear if the federal agents knew Wheeler was in the crowd when they used the tear gas."

Oh Dear God - I hope that they did.

Here is what your city will look like when you have a Socialist mayor leading the riots.

So this clown leads the pack up to the fence of the Federal Court house and his minions start shooting commercial grade fireworks, sets the place on fire. The Federal police warn them to get the hell out and he won't leave. Gets his ass gassed and his own police force declares it's a riot.

Socialism, coming to a city near you.

The FEDS should arrest his ass.

I loved this paragraph from the link you have sourced and God bless our formidable president for taking on these cities that have too long been in the process of ruination while controlled by mobs.



Earlier in the night, Wheeler was mostly jeered as he tried to rally demonstrators who have clashed nightly with federal agents but was briefly applauded when he shouted “Black Lives Matter” and pumped his fist in the air. The mayor has opposed federal agents’ presence in Oregon’s largest city, but he has faced harsh criticism from many sides and his presence wasn’t welcomed by many, who yelled and swore at him.

Wow, some Riot when it first started. It was due to the overzealous Rump Brown Shirts that it progressed in a more chaotic time. Long before the "Fireworks" the Feds were dispensing Tear Gas on the Crowd.

yes, Fascism coming to a city near you. At least until the Governors and Mayors start arresting the Federal Agents. It's just another case of Rump trying something to get reelected. Mussolini would be proud.

Now he should go to prison. The federal government has every right to defend federal property, which he was attacking.

Wrong as usual. The mayor led the charge up to the fence and then the fireworks were shot off. Started a big fire and the Feds warned them to leave. They wouldn't and got their asses gassed.

If the Portland mayor got arrested, the average IQ of that jail would go down 10 points. What a freakin' dope.

Portland police need to round up the feds and put them in "protective custody" until they are recalled.

I'm telling you all, this is a trap and it will backfire on the President unless he maintains the message, speaks it directly to America (as he did last night and hopefully tonight on Hannity). Independents and Lbertarians are not hard right, loyal GOP voters. Trump has to tell people he is there to support everyones right and the Constitution. He must make everyone aware that tactical decisions are made by others. He can't be viewed as doing something GWB would be expected to do.

Drawing differences between Biden, AOC and him on law and order is fine, but politically one of Bidens biggest weaknesses with black voters this election was the way he supported laws that put many black citizens in prison for long stretches, it's a weakness that Trump will need to exploit if he wants to win in 2020. The last result he wants is for people of all walks of life to view Trump as a tyrant impeding on local affairs, or viewed even worse than Biden is being viewed for his voting decisions nearly 30 years ago.

This is how it is going to be presented and how Biden will paint him in the debates, you can bet on it. So I hope he is listening to the right advisers and not some who are pulling the wool over his eyes to put him in a weaker position with some voters. The Mayor of Portland is calling this "urban warfare" and it will be presented as such to black voters in particular.

A quote from a Fox article:

Wheeler called the tear-gassing an "egregious overreaction," telling Baker he didn't see anything in the crowd that warranted the reaction by federal officers.

"This is not a de-escalation strategy," he said. "This is flat-out urban warfare and it's being brought on this country by the president and it's got to stop now."

Wheeler leads the march and his minions shoot first then claims it's urban warfare against the people. Yup, truly libtarded propaganda.

That fence was NOT Federal. That Fence belonged to the Citizens and the Mayor. I have ears. They didn't gas the ones throwing the fireworks, they gassed the peaceful Protesting including the Mayor. I am surprised that some of the protesters didn't drag out the old hotlegs at that point. But the Protesters and the Mayor showed remarkable restraint. The actions of the Feds who shouldn't be there in the first place could have escalated it into a full blown riot. But with the Mayor there, it didn't go that far. At some point, the Mayors and Governors are going to have to start arresting the Rump Brown Shirts under Local and State laws.

It won't matter what the facts are. What will be presented is video of tear gas and Trumps name associated with it.

As I said, I hope Trump has proper advisers, because this is bound to backfire. I recall when peaceful protesters marched after Trumps inauguration he publicly said "he supports peoples right to protest". They egged him on constantly and he did nothing, it made him appear controlled and in support of freedom of expression.

Videos of military clad police (why do they need to wear fatigues in a city setting?) firing tear gas is not a good look. Let's hope it's not by design. He has to apply pressure to the mayors and governors to deal with any violence in protests. THAT is the winning political strategy.

If he wants to protect federal property and such, so be it. He can't control the narrative if others are forming it. In an election season, one has to view this all as a game of chess and think 3-4 moves ahead.
