Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler has banned the use of tear gas on rioters in the Oregon city. [snip] have used tear gas to quell riots over nearly four months. “We need something different. We need it now,” the mayor wrote, adding: It’s time for everyone to reduce the violence in our community. We all want change. We all have the opportunity and obligation to create change. We all want to focus on the fundamental issue at hand–justice for Black people and all people of color. Wheeler said his administration and Oregon’s Legislature are seeking “safer alternatives” to the nonlethal gas.

In any other location the voters would be rational and would have tarred and feathered this idiot and run him out of town on a rail but this is Dorkland where the voters haven't got a clue.

I’m forming a posse of LDotters. We don’t need many. (I’ll be sheriff or a deputy — makes no mind to me)
We’ll get this mess cleaned up in about an hour.
My Lord, the man is dense. Shiffforbrains.

If police can't use tear gas, does this mean they can use bullets, live bullets, as in shoot to kill?

Something different? May I suggest cyanide in the bottled water that you supply to them? Quiet, no muss, no fuss and much safer - for police and citizens. The rioters will die but hey, you can't have everything and you only have to deal with them once.

When in the heckle are the cops just gonna up and quit their jobs, and let the fine people of that great city, Portland, defend themselves. It's the only way. Stop standing in the way of the democrat party shock troops. Let democrat nature run its course. Let's see how this plays out.

This is what you get when you elect open and avowed Marxists (i.e.- progressives, i.e. - democrats) to public office and hand them responsibility and authority.

Hizzoner said “ It’s time for everyone to reduce the violence in our community. “. So by “everyone” he is morally equating lawful acts by the police attempting to maintain law and order with the actions of rioters and looters seeking to destroy life and property. To see if this makes any sense, ask a simple question - what would happen if the police unilaterally stood down, vs. what would happen if the rioters stand down? What a maroon, but he will be a top candid for President Kamala’s envoy for peace in the Middle East.

Remove the masks forcibly and photograph each of the rioters. I’d guess the same ones are present at many locations, their board, room and spending money compensated by the same few people.

Is "justice for black people" a problem in Portland? Because it has always given me the impression of not having a large black residency.

Why would the police do anything that clown says? They should immediately tear gas that loser mayor and throw him in jail.

Wheeler you are so spot on! We do need something different. To start with a new mayor who has at least half a brain, not a jackass who was sent to schools that your father had to bribe to take you. How much did he have to pay to get you through High School?? Hm, that much!?!?! Must have been a fortune to push you through all those colleges, sad to see how much time you wasted there and were not able to learn a thing! Secondly, the new mayor will only have the role of mayor not police commissioner at the same time.... we have seen what that leads to didn't we. Let's hope that guy is not remotely related to you or Portland will be in trouble again.
Wheeler, are you paying attention? Pack your things, get out but don't forget you are a goner as well not just your furniture. Move and never come back!!!!

#22 it's the way Bugs Bunny pronounced 'moron'. I wonder if its internet popularity had anything to do with primitive profanity filters, (many of which used to forbid anything that smacked of 'name calling').

Ted Wheeler is an absolute moron. He wants to take away a less than lethal force option from the Portland PD officers during the course of a riot. So I guess when some college aged snowflake start tossing Molotov Cocktails at officers deadly force is now the alternative for officer to protect themselves. Deploy lead rather than gas, brilliant! The Portland Police Chief and his command staff need to disregard this foolish directive in order to protect the lives of his officers. Tell Wheeler to go to hell!

This is the same mayor who moved out of the town he represents because the rioters showed up at his doorstep. One would think he'd come down hard on them. Instead he sides with the rioters. Who's paying him? He certainly isn't looking out for Portland.
