#16  BG1136: we'll see the truth of that on the 26th. Wheeler will use all tools at his disposal to protect his insurrection

#15  This is why the Mayor and Police Commissioner should never, ever, be the same person.

#14  Behind an armor-plated desk he bravely leads the charge from HQ.

#13  He is also police commissioner? What a racket.

#12  I'm willing to bet if Proud Boys showed up, tear gas would suddenly be on the menu

#11  Not crazy or surreal - this is simply an insurrection. It needs to be met with force

#10  You really can't make this sh!t up. They want to abolish the police. Might as well abolish the position of mayor for all the good it is doing. Ridiculous.

#9  Note: Black male and black female chief's across the country wasted no time heading for the exits.

#8  Vast majority of police are honorable and even though it may be tempting to say "Fukit, you deserve this.", they won't.

#7  If I was a cop in Portland (or a similarly anti-police city) I would call in with a case of Blue COVID-19 rather than resign.

#6  If I didn't know better, I'd say someone is either paying him or has nekkid pics of him.

#5  ^That is exactly what he and the rioters want.

#4  I'm surprised the entire Portland PD hasn't already resigned, as Wheeler is clearly on the side of the rioters.

What a shithole.

#3  So are old cannons with grape shot okay?

#2  At some point, the police are going to simply not show up. I hope that while Portland burns, MayorTed receives some instant karma.

#1  But not banning crocodile tears (Teddy's stock in trade)
