Threats to Trump preceded fatal shooting by Portland officers of man who impersonated federal agent, police say
The man allegedly had shotgun shells with threatening messages that “specifically named President Donald Trump.”
A man who was shot and killed by police Thursday morning had attempted to shoot a grocery store security guard the previous Saturday, falsely identified himself as an agent from the United States Secret Service and written threats against President Donald Trump, the Portland Police Bureau said in a news release.
Just after 1 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a Safeway in the 1300 block of Northwest Lovejoy Street after reports that the man, who has not yet been identified by police, had pointed a handgun at a uniformed security officer and pulled the trigger, though the gun didn’t fire.
The man fled with the handgun, but left behind an instrument case that contained a loaded shotgun, police said. The shotgun shells had “threatening messages” written on them that specifically named Trump, police said.

Is this another left-wing martyr...killed by the Portland Police? Did the Portland police murder this guy? Is it OK to threaten to kill someone with whom you disagree?
