Portland Commissioner Ties Deadly Shooting to 'Perception' of a Police 'Alliance With White Supremacists'

Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty has repeatedly asked Mayor Ted Wheeler (D-Portland) to make her the city’s police commissioner. But she effectively blamed the police for the deadly shooting of Trump supporter Aaron Danielson, also known as “Jay Bishop.” She claimed that protesters fear for their lives due to a “perception” of an “alliance” between the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) and “white supremacists.”
...
“This fear is rooted in the inconsistent policies and messaging from PPB, this fear is rooted in a perception of alliance with white supremacists that has eroded community trust in PPB and this fear is rooted in the actions of PPB consistently treating [Black Lives Matter] protesters differently than the Proud Boys and other white nationalist groups,” Hardesty argued. (The Proud Boys bylaws explicitly exclude any white nationalists or white supremacists from membership.)
...
In July, Hardesty blamed Wheeler for the extra federal law enforcement who defended the federal courthouse and she insisted that the antifa rioters wreaking havoc on downtown Portland were not protesters but plainclothes police officers.

This female belongs in a mental hospital, not on the Portland Police Commission!

OK, that begs the question:
If this woman is representative of the police "leadership" there, then how are "the police" going to get control of the situation?
Who else "within the state" is going to be competent enough to do so?

If no one in the city or in the state government can effectively bring the city under control, then to whom does that job fall...?
