“If anyone did to a horse or a dog what has been done to PPB cops for 18 months, that person would have amassed hundreds of counts of felony animal abuse, but it’s perfectly OK to do it to cops, wholesale, and with an army of anarchist pals.” – A retired Portland Police Detective .
It is being reported that the Portland riot squad has walked away from their duty after over a year of abuse from protestors, rioters, Antifa, and their own mayor.
From PJ Media:
The police officers in the Portland riot squad, officially called the “rapid response team (RRT),” still work for the agency, but will no longer volunteer themselves for the duty that resulted in “nearly all” members being injured with “broken bones, torn ligaments, and cartilage, traumatic brain injuries, hearing damage, damaged eyesight, lacerations and burns,” in the words of the resignation letter sent to the chief by the squad’s leader.
Expect more of this.
Unconfirmed reports abound that another nearby police agency riot squad, whose members provided back-up to the Portland Police Bureau for antifa, anarchist, and Black Lives Matter riots in the past, walked out as well. No official announcement has been made and efforts to confirm the reports have been met with silence.
Los Angeles and Seattle cops are probably next.
This marks a big move for the city and puts the ball firmly in the court of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler. Wheeler has played a major role in fanning the flames in his city but this has not kept him out of the sights of Antifa terrorists. Several weeks ago he had his address doxed and his life threatened in an ominous video.
They are leaving Portland PD like rats leaving a sinking ship.
Many of the PPD higher ups are interviewing for other open positions at other medium sized to large sized departments to get out of Portland.
One of them is a finalist for the Chief’s job in Akron.
THIS MANY MONTHS IN THE MAKING, Portland is the leader of this marxist group of nazis that all need to be eliminated in this country.the police department has been the whipping boy for this idiot governor and the fool that calls it’s self the mayor.both of these fools need some very long prison time.the entire left coast of fools need the same treatment .NO POLICE PROTECTION AT ALL FOR CITY OR STATE OFFICALS.NONE WHAT SO EVER. if the taxpayers have no recourse then the gestapo can have absolutely none either.
Bullshit
No one quit.
They just resigned from the riot squad in protest for the unjust treatment of officers. The riot squad is a volunteer thing. I for one cannot believe that the officers on this Police Force have not really quit? There are plenty of Red States that will appreciate their efforts.
