Mayor of Portland, Oregon gets tear gassed by federal agents

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

The least informed person on the board strikes again.
Yes Billy, I see you.

Now run along.

Poor Creepy -
 
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.

And had the Brown Shirts not been there it would have been peaceably handled by local authorities. It's like the claims that Rioting in Detroit are destroying businesses. Newsflash, the locals are protecting the Businesses in Detroit and the Looters have all left for other Cities where they can exist. The Rioters that have been caught aren't even from the local areas. They are imported. The Brown Shirts just make things worse.
 
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.



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.



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.


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.


Ears without a brain - I guess.

Total bullshit. The fence is Federal property and it sits on Federal land. The rioters started the fire inside the fence and were warned to disperse. The mayor's own police force declared it a riot. And as it's a Federal Facility the Federal police are bound by LAW to protect it.

It's not Portland's property. This is a Federal Court House.

You ignorant, stupid mother fucker -
the riots have been going on continuously for almost 2 months.
There are no brown shirts.

More bullshit. First the Portland police report directly to Wheeler and he ordered the police to stand down so there was no way they would have peacefully handled it.

Second, the Portland police had to override the mayor and declared it a riot.

He led the riot there. Got gassed. He is a dipshit.

To import the Brown Shirts just adds to the confusion. The Cops can handle it. If they deem it a riot (not from what I saw on the clip) the Local LEOs should be arresting people throwing the stuff. And that was some fire, you know the one that was around the corner where we couldn't see it? And who puts out the fire? Not the Brownshirts gassing the Mayor but the Mayors own Fired Department. The Protesters along with the Mayor were not protesting because of any black deaths. They were protesting the fact that Rump shipped in his Brown Shirts. And the Protesters along with the Mayor were right. Get the Fascist Brownshirts back to patrolling whatever they were patrolling and let the Mayors and Local LEOs handle it.

Do you mean the Mayor was actively rioting? he must have since you claim it was a riot. It had isolated incidents but didn't qualify as a riot until the Brown Shirts started gassing the Protesters including the Mayor.

You're so full of shit. The riots had been going on for over a month and rioters started attacking the Federal Court House and they didn't have enough security to keep it safe.

THEN the reinforcements were sent there. You are a totally brainwashed libtard.

WTF is a hotleg?
And why shouldnt the feds be in their own building?
Or anywhere in America for that matter.
 
You got that backwards. Clintoons Feds attacked that compound.

This is the rioters are attacking the Federal Court House.
It is still fed gov't- period. This is similar to the Whiskey Tax revolution- the gov't had to do something to "protect" it's minions-

It wasn't the normal Fed Workers or the normal Federal Security. It was a addition of the added Brown Shirts. They were already there. And it was the fact that the Brown Shirts were out in force arresting people just for hanging out because the look suspicious. That is what the Protest was all about. The Feds need to get the Brownshirts off the streets. The Mayors and the Governors need to state arresting the Bownshirts on local and state laws. It's coming, mark my words.

It is still fed gov't- period. This is similar to the Whiskey Tax revolution- the gov't had to do something to "protect" it's minions-


No, the Federal Police are protecting a Federal Court House, which belongs to the taxpayers of the entire country, from rioters who the night before actually broke in to the place and had to be beaten back. Then last night the rioters started a big fire on Federal property and were told to disperse. They wouldn't and got their stupid asses gassed.
 
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.

And had the Brown Shirts not been there it would have been peaceably handled by local authorities. It's like the claims that Rioting in Detroit are destroying businesses. Newsflash, the locals are protecting the Businesses in Detroit and the Looters have all left for other Cities where they can exist. The Rioters that have been caught aren't even from the local areas. They are imported. The Brown Shirts just make things worse.


More bullshit. First the Portland police report directly to Wheeler and he ordered the police to stand down so there was no way they would have peacefully handled it.

Second, the Portland police had to override the mayor and declared it a riot.

He led the riot there. Got gassed. He is a dipshit.

Do you mean the Mayor was actively rioting? he must have since you claim it was a riot. It had isolated incidents but didn't qualify as a riot until the Brown Shirts started gassing the Protesters including the Mayor.

When he's upfront yelling black lives matter he's part of it.

I can see it now.

Local LEOs: put your guns down and assume the positon
Brown Shirts: You put YOUR guns down and get in the F***in Van
Local LEOs: YOU put your guns down and get in the Police Van
Brown Shirts: There are more of us than you and we are armed
Local LEOs: Look again..........

As bizarre as that sounds, it's coming.
