Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti backed violent demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday, referring to mobs that have attacked a federal courthouse as "The best of our democratic ideals" and slamming federal law enforcement's response.
Demonstrators for racial justice represent the best of our democratic ideals.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who is also the local police commissioner, has done very little to stop them.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, acting pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 1315, has sent federal officers to Portland to protect the federal property.
Breitbart News asked Mayor Garcetti in a press briefing last week if new stay-at-home orders in Los Angeles would apply to protests as well.
The "Racial justice" protesters in Portland do not appear to be heeding that advice.
Several other Democratic mayors have joined Portland in opposing the presence of federal law enforcement agents in their cities, as President Donald Trump launched Operation Legend to fight crime waves that have broken out in the wake of nationwide unrest.
