Battle Portland:

[QuanteonParadigm]

New research shows that Patriotic Americans believe that

Nerocrats should be held accountable for "fiddling while their cities burn."

"Chop" was also a misnomer. Much better would be "Lofland" - Lord Of Flies - land

The belief in "Defunding the Police" suggested as a new criterion to demonstrate and demarcate "stupidity" as a legally defined term.

Good one! And welcome to TBR, QP!

Portland Rioters Set Fire to Police Union, Attack Officers with Lasers

I'm at point to say let the city burn.

[Smokin Joe]

They'd have to resign the whole damn lot of em, right down to the janitor.

By rights they should all be sitting in jail for failure to perform, and outright sedition. How the hell do you put your life on the line for folks like that?

Yep. Clean house.

I agree, not to mention have any sovereign immunity removed and sued by all who lost something.

You don't put your life on the line for people who won't have your back. Simple as that.

@roamer_1

I hadn't even thought about that,but they are going to have a hell of a time hiring new cops unless the entire city council is replaced with sane people,and that does not seem likely to happen.

It is obvious that the people in there will not defend their fair city, and are rapidly turning it into a dump by their inactions and actions. The job descriptions, oaths of office, etc. should be examined, and they should be removed from office by whatever means necessary. Criminal charges and incarceration come to mind, but psychological reasons could well apply. You'd have to be nuts to let things there reach this point and then turn on the very people you restrained from enforcing the law. IMHO, that makes them accessories to every crime committed, and you don't even have to know the actors involved for that, just the crimes.  ROund 'em up, lock them up, and elect a new government. It's the American way.

100% on board with that, as long as the U.S. Taxpayer doesn't have to foot the cost for the rebuild.

The anarchists have been rioting and beating people up in Portland since Trump was elected.  That means the people have had at least one election to replace City Councilmen, and they elected the people permitting this.  Yes, the Municipal Government is deeply implicated, but so are the voters themselves.

I agree, let it burn, and leave the charred ruins to serve as a reminder to others.  The city-wide equivalent of heads on pikes.

@mystery-ak

And the majority of those rioters are the chill-runs of Yuppies. Spoiled brats who grew up with all the advantages in life there is to be had,and they are just there because they are bored and crave the excitement and the attention.

  Follow @PortlandPolice
Officers arrested 16 people during the riot that took place in the Kenton Neighborhood. All were booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on the listed charges:  ...

On Sunday, August 9, 2020, commercial grade fireworks were thrown at officers trying to clear an unlawful assembly, including a mortar that injured two officers, and a riot was declared.

At about 8:00p.m., a gathering began in Kenton Park, 2351 North Kilpatrick Street. The group of about 200 people began marching at 9:30p.m. in the direction of the Portland Police Association (PPA) Offices in the 1800 block of North Lombard Street. It is located in a residential neighborhood and was the site of a riot Saturday evening in which individuals broke through a door and started a fire in the building. ...

During the movement, commercial grade fireworks were thrown at officers and at least one injured two officers.  ...

The injured officers were treated at the scene by paramedics. One officer was burned on her neck and her facemask partially melted (see photos). A Sergeant standing about 10 feet away was injured in the leg by a piece of a firework impacting his leg (photos).  ... Full story and photos at Portland Police site

Before the election, the removal has to be done by citizens of the State or others in the State Government or a combination of the two. Otherwise, you know how those optics would be spun: He's a dicatator or He should have done this sooner, why'd he wait so long? (Either way, Trump would be 'wrong' in the MSM)

I"d be all for people in town getting together and marching in on these jerks from two directions and pinning the lot of them against some geographical feature and doing what they need to do to discourage any more such behaviour in their city.  I mean, they have the right to conduct a "peaceful protest", too.

I will take exception. Optics are not his business. His business is his oath. Open and violent sedition in the streets, aided and abetted by mayors, town councils, county sheriffs and government, and even governors - ALL of that is actionable. All of it.

Doing nothing is a travesty.

That part is right - And another thing Tumpy could actually use his bully pulpit to aid. Stand up militia, offer training and outfitting...

He does nothing.

He hasn't been doing nothing, he did have DHS and other agencies ramp up their presence and make arrests for damage to federal property. That might not be the action you or I would like to see, but it isn't nothing. What he has done is clearly something that can be explained in a way it makes sense, even to the LIVs out there. People, at least in some jurisdictions, have just said "No" to this Antifa crap, and any defiance of that will lead to open and possibly no-holds-barred conflict on that local level. If the locals requested help in those areas, I'm pretty sure it would be there, quick.

From what I have seen of his fans out this way, about all he could set them up with is Kevlar and an ammo drop...

Meh. Nothing. He rattled his sabre and harrumphed and threatened, with nothing but a token show.

Impotent.

Oregon State Police Pulled out of Portland Completely day after Portland DA drops 500 of 550 riot related charges
8/13/2020
Investigative Journalist Kyle iboshi, KGW (nbc) portland

The Oregon State Police is continually reassessing our resources and the needs of our partner agencies and at this time we are inclined to move those resources back to counties where prosecution of criminal conduct is still a priority.

Last night was our last night in Portland

This decision was based on the fact that our two week commitment ended last night... Troopers are returning to the communities that they are assigned to serve and protect.

We will continually assess our resources if our partners at PPB need OSP assistance

Timothy R. Fox, Captain Oregon State Police

[sneakypete]

It SEEMS to me it should be possible,and even likely,that someone who gets harmed in the next riots will be able to sue the DA and the City of Portland if they suffer assault or property loss.

What say those of you who know the law? Does that goober get immunity from personal damage suits,or can he take a personal financial and possibly even criminal hit for the civilian version of dereliction of duty?

After all,these SOB's take an oath of office to protect the city and it's residents,NOT the Dim Party and the creatures that run it. If they can't be held personally responsible for their actions,why bother to require an oath?

[Fishrrman]

Pete asked:
"After all,these SOB's take an oath of office to protect the city and it's residents,NOT the Dim Party and the creatures that run it. If they can't be held personally responsible for their actions,why bother to require an oath?"

Not any more, Pete.
The "oath" they take now is to THE PARTY, not to "the people".

And that includes the judges who would preside over lawsuits against the city, etc.
