Portland Fire Commisioner Blames Cops for Starting Fires
Sun Jul 26, 2020 Daniel Greenfield
How terrible do you have to be that even in this period of Black Lives Matter witch hunts and anti-police hysteria, you get called out by... Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler? Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty would like to offer a personal demonstration.
“I believe Portland Police [Bureau] is lying about the damage—or starting the fires themselves—so that they have justification for attacking community members,†Hardesty said.
That was a little too much. Not just for Daryl Turner of the PPA, who is African-American, but even for Wheeler.
In a letter sent to City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty late Thursday afternoon, Mayor Ted Wheeler chided her for incendiary claims she made yesterday that Portland police embedded themselves among protesters and set fire to public property, effectively framing protesters for arson.
