As we told you yesterday, Portland Ore. police responded to rioting and arson by attempting to appease those taking part in it (which only made the problems worse).
Rioters were back at it last night, and the Portland Police took to Twitter to tell them to knock it off:
Portland Police ~ Some demonstrators have locked the doors from the outside of the Justice Center and are lighting fires on 2nd Avenue. They are also tampering with the roll up doors of the Justice Center on 2nd Avenue. This is a life safety issue. Remove the items now!
Well good luck with that.
American Journalists Publish Chinese Propaganda ~ I'm sorry, aren't you literally the police?
There could be another option:
Logan Hall ~ Has anybody considered sending in a few social workers?
That seems to be "Plan B" for many these days (looking at you, Minneapolis City Council).
Jerry Dunleavy ~ You should call the cops.
OldSaltCityAce ~ Good thing the Portland Police are there to ... tweet about it!
Beware of Doug ~ Seattle could help ... their cops aren't doing anything right now.
Slovydal ~ If only there was a group of well-trained individuals who were responsible for directly responding to such crimes. ...
