The mayor of Oregon’s biggest city is forbidding the use of special loudspeakers to break up George Floyd protests—and is expected to ban tear gas, too. Portland ended a ninth straight day of protests Friday in a fog of smoke and ear-splitting sounds—intended to disperse thousands of demonstrators. Law enforcement officials also threw stun grenades.(Snip) After the violence, Mayor Ted Wheeler tweeted his decision to stop the police bureau from using its extra-loud sound equipment to clear crowds and told protesters gathered near City Hall that he would make an “announcement” Saturday about the use of tear gas.

And furthermore - - the police can't ask rioters to "please disperse."
From now on - - they must say "pretty please."

What if the police kneel and beg permission?

If you live in a city controlled by woke leftards, I recommend you get out now while you still can. If your police force isn't outright disbanded, they're going to be neutered and incapable of protecting you and those you love.

Quit piddling around Mayor Wheeler. Just remove the police entirely and let the thugs have the city. That’s almost where you are now anyway. But don’t come begging us Red State taxpayers to bail you out.

Pray tell just how long does this insurrection wrapped in faux moral outrage go on?
Just as long as the globalist Gyorgy Schwartz "checks" keep coming.
And, given the abandonment of "six-feet" and ten or so pilgrims congregating at one time, just how long before the next wave of ChiCom germ warfare hit?
If...the next wave doesn't hit?
Only time will tell: two weeks.
And then...

If the police don’t comply, who’s going to arrest them? Use that speaker, boys and girls!

Time for the police to just 'walk away' and let that stupid Mayor deal with the burnt out remains of his city...liberalism is indeed a mental disease....

My soyboy Mayor should walk with the police during these riots. Pretty sure he would get the white priviledge beaten out of him by Antifa.

This clown has spent $600k per unit building low income housing downtown, $70k a piece building "little homes" for people to put in their backyards and rent out (low income renters). You'll get a parking ticket or towed from the numerous new parking meters downtown, but no penalty for pooping or sleeping in the same spot....$1 million in taxpayer money allocated to lawyers for providing legal services to illegals...most recently a wealth distribution tax (upper income earners and business taxed extra)...meanwhile, vagrants everywhere, potholes everywhere, and police force that does nothing about property crime. Nothing.

Take their weapons, take their voice. Any self-respecting police department would march en masse from the city when the next riot begins but it appears that animal is almost extinct, at least in blue cities.

Ted Wheeler's policies, for YEARS, and the idiots who voted for the likes of him, are the reasons I avoid Portland and don't spend ANY money there.

Mayor hasn't said anything about protesters using loud speakers to conduct protests, though, right?
I'd say the world has gone nuts, if it hadn't already been well on its way there (and accelerating) since I was a wee lad.

I am always amazed at how these "organizers" can get before a crowd with a megaphone and get the useful idiot sheeple to chant stupid slogans.
Lazy people who have to be told what to think.
