A crowd of 100 people wreaked havoc in downtown Portland, Oregon, this week – smashing storefront windows, lighting dumpsters on fire and causing at least $500,000 in damage – but police officers didn't stop them.
Portland Police Bureau officials say that's because of legislation passed by Oregon lawmakers this year, which restricts the tools they can use to confront people vandalizing buildings and causing mayhem.
“The reason that we did not intervene goes back to what we talked about last month with House Bill 2928 and the restrictions placed on us in a crowd control environment,” KOIN reports that Portland Police Lt. Jake Jensen said in a neighborhood meeting Thursday.
^ Knowing Leftists, if the great resets fails (and it will) expect the Leftists to blame it on something, and call for another great reset, each time more radical then the previous and because most people will be desensitized by them, it won’t seem so radical.
Look at for example, all the CRT race based re-education happening throughout government, schools and work places today. If that had happened just 10 or 20 years, there’d be public outrage but today? We just accept it like it is nothing and just go on with our lives.

There is another way to take a look at this. If you look at the comment from the Police
Quote:
Portland Police Sgt. Kevin Allen told AP that officers have been made aware of the “potential implications” of the legislation and that it’s being analyzed by the city attorney’s office.
“Until we have some clarity on the bill we have to follow the most restrictive interpretation of it,” Allen said.
This sounds as if it may be more of a case of "You say we can't do what we need to. Okay we will follow exactly what you legislated and let's see how you like it". If so, at least there may be some glimmers of sanity remaining. Where the moderates(the extreme liberals are probably too far gone) who have just been going along because of the "D" may start to look at what is happening.

Biden gave Democrat cities and states all over the country billions to squander on all types of dubious programs, most of them the social justice kind. Each time those Democrat bills gets passed, more money goes to these wasteful Democrat cities and states, where the politicians, the close connections, political unions, etc. enrich themselves and the cities still decay.
Trump was saving the nation after Obama before the steal.
Trump will be back and will reverse the third term of Obama and finally be able to root out the deep state traitors, which have turned out to be the most evil part of the Obama legacy.
