A Portland Police Bureau sergeant said it was time for someone with "Firsthand knowledge" of what happened at the protests and riots to "Speak up," local outlet KGW8 reported.
Sgt. Brent Maxey said in an interview that he disagrees with Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek's claims that police contributed to violence at recent protests in an interview with KGW8 on Thursday.
Maxey has been with the Portland police for 18 years, and for 13 of those he was part of the bureau's Rapid Response Team, KGW8 reported.
"You see videos of people with their hands up getting knocked over by police, that's just a snippet of what's happening," Maxey said.
Are the national news media using deceptive edits to make police look bad?
"And they've just kind of devolved into these masses of people that are just bent on destruction and hurting, mainly hurting police or anybody that really disagrees with that message," Maxey added.
People are given the opportunity to disperse after receiving warnings from the police, and those who chose not to leave are complicit in the actions, Maxey said.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
