https://www.opb.org/article/2020/08/14/oregon-state-police-portland-leave-protest/A line of Oregon state troopers prepares to disperse protesters from the area around the federal courthouse and Multnomah County Justice Center on day 76 of protests against systemic racism and police violence. The Oregon State Police troopers who have been guarding the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse in downtown Portland have left the city as of Thursday, an OSP spokesperson confirmed. “At this time we are inclined to move those resources back to counties where prosecution of criminal conduct is still a priority,” said OSP Capt. Timothy Fox, in an apparent jab at District Attorney Mike Schmidt’s recent announcement that he would be dropping a significant portion of the more than 500 protester cases brought over the course of the demonstrations.The state police were brought in July 30 to protect the federal property for two weeks as part of a deal negotiated between Gov. Kate Brown and Vice President Mike Pence to get a surge of federal officers off Portland streets. The federal officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Protective Service and U.S. Marshals were sent as part of President Trump’s executive order protecting statues and monuments in response to what the order called “criminal violence.” They were largely seen as a provocation during nightly protests for racial justice in the city. The federal officers’ actions helped reinvigorate a protest movement which had dwindled in late June. By mid-July, thousands of people were gathering nightly downtown for demonstrations against the federal law enforcement presence. Those nights routinely ended in violence, with federal officers saturating downtown blocks with tear gas and impact munitions to disperse the largely nonviolent protesters. “I think there’s absolutely no question that by having Oregonians there, it has made a substantial difference in what is happening in downtown Portland,” Brown said in press conference earlier this week, after demonstrations had again reduced in size. “And of course getting Trump’s troops off the streets of downtown Portland has substantially calmed things down.” Brown said it’s important that the state turn its focus to addressing systemic racism in the criminal justice system, health care and education. An official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who was not authorized to speak on the record said Oregon State Police played a critical role and improved the situation on the ground. “The governor and Oregon police really delivered,” the official said. “We applaud what they did here, we’re disappointed that they’re pulling out. We’re all going to try and keep the momentum going that they started.” The official said Portland Police will take over the role from OSP, which includes preventing an autonomous zone in the park blocks outside the federal courthouse. The official said Customs and Border Protection officers are still in the area, if needed, but declined to provide specific numbers of officers and agents. The sense of cautious optimism could be put to the test in coming days. Related: Some federal officers could remain in Portland through November On Wednesday night, after nearly two weeks of mostly demonstrating elsewhere in the city, hundreds of protesters returned to the Multnomah County Justice Center and federal courthouse. After listening to people speak about systemic racism, protesters gathered in front of the federal courthouse. There were chants of “Black lives matter” and “no good cops in a racist system.” Some people set small fires on the street, and occasionally a protester would set off a firework. Shortly before midnight, the Portland Police Bureau — with help from OSP — declared an unlawful assembly and dispersed the crowd. Officers used batons, smoke grenades and impact munitions as they pushed protesters west from downtown, shoving people to the ground who were moving too slowly. Some demonstrators threw fireworks, paint or objects at officers. Eventually, local law enforcement used tear gas to drive protesters away from downtown. PPB did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Who couldn’t see this coming.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Several of the metro area police forces won't work with Portland Police because they can't expect to not be thrown under the bus by the Portland 'leaders'.
More and more of the people I hang out with are saying let it burn, declare a federal emergency, and arrest the city council and mayor.

Brown and Wheeler need to be taken out and beaten senseless.
That would be a good start to a great protest.

I remember a handful of Oregonians ready to take up arms against the BLM when Ol' Bundy was having a disgusto.
Guess this don't rate their time.

When they destroy the courthouse, send Portland the bill or deduct it from Oregon federal funding. They'll just take it out of the police budget.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

Portland can burn to the ground, for all I care My 93 year old Grandmother who was just released from a Portland hospital today, and my aunt and uncle who are caring for her, plus their kids **really** appreciate your support. Dumbfugg. They are all dead red conservatives and refuse to give up the fight. GFY. You idiots who write off entire cities and wish entire metro areas to burn to the ground are not true Americans.

That would be a good start to a great protest. May be hard to do. They’d need an infusion of sense. Otherwise there would be little to nothing to work with.

The mayor of Portland supports Antifa, the DA blocks ICE busses in Bend with the rest of the mob, charges are dropped against criminals, why should LEOs put themselves in danger anymore when anything they do is highly scrutinized? Let Portland burn until the people, locals, say enough is enough and deal with it themselves. The people need to let these punks know this isn't okay and won't be tolerated.

I wouldn't even call it scrutinized. It's just commie propaganda.
