50 Days Of Protest In Portland. A Violent Police Response. This Is How We Got Here. — Oregon Public Broadcasting 🔗 🇺🇸 ⚖️ 🚔 ✊🏽

‘I’m concerned that the actions of federal officers last night escalated, rather than de-escalated, already heightened tensions in our city,’ said Wheeler, who is also Portland’s police commissioner. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, said Trump had a dangerous fixation with strong-arming peaceful protesters. ‘What America does not need is Donald Trump parachuting federal law enforcement into U.S. cities as if they’re enemy strongholds requiring an occupying army to suppress,’ Wyden said.
