Portland, Oregon, businesses and residents may be at the mercy of rioters and looters, but it's not because their police don't want to do anything.
According to KOIN-TV, the Portland Police Bureau told residents of the city's downtown Pearl District that their hands were tied during a riot this past week that caused a half-million dollars worth of damage.
"In a media release, the PPB said"around 100 anarchists caused substantial damage to businesses and government buildings in downtown Portland Tuesday night.
Portland Police eventually gave verbal dispersal orders to the antifa at the end of their riot last night.
In the letter, the businesses said they were "Writing to put on the record our profound concerns regarding the rapidly deteriorating conditions in our neighborhood and to demand immediate action to safeguard our visitors, staff and volunteers."
Of all the cities in the United States that were consumed with antifa-related violence and defund-mania last summer, Portland stood head and shoulders above the rest.
Lt. Jensen claimed Portland isn't a de facto lawless city, at least when it comes to rioters.
