This could have been predicted.<\/p>\n

Sheriffs in Oregon counties say they won\u2019t help the Portland mayor with his \u201cproblem\u201d. His was a direct “request”.<\/p>\n

CLACKAMAS, Ore. (KATU<\/a>) \u2014 The sheriffs of Clackamas and Washington County say they will not send staff to help with protests in Portland after Oregon Gov. Kate Brown unveiled a plan to address the violence at protests.<\/p>\n

The plan called on several local law enforcement agencies to help, including the sheriff’s offices of Washington and Clackamas counties.<\/p>\n

Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said the governor didn\u2019t approach his office before rolling out the plan, intended to address the\u00a0violence<\/a>\u00a0and arson while also protecting free speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncreasing law enforcement resources in Portland will not solve the nightly violence and now, murder,\u201d the sheriff said. \u201cThe only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett cited several risks that led to the decision, including “the lack of political support for public safety, the uncertain legal landscape, the current volatility combined with intense scrutiny on use of force.”<\/p>\n

Brown’s plan also said Gresham Police would help with the\u00a0protest response<\/a>. KATU reached out to Gresham PD, and they said they are “currently in discussion” on whether or not they will assist the Portland Police Bureau.<\/p>\n

The Oregon Association Chiefs of Police also spoke out Monday, saying it too “cannot dedicate our limited resources away from the communities we serve.”<\/p>\n

KATU reached out to Brown’s office for a response after the initial statement from Roberts was released. They said the plan “is meant to allow for this kind of flexibility in supporting each other as we all collectively deal with the difficult situation in Portland.” – article<\/p>\n

A day or so later, the same response came through: the\u00a0Sheriffs of two counties rejected the Oregon governor\u2019s plea<\/strong> for help in ending destruction.<\/p>\n

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) \u2014 Sheriffs from two counties in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, on Monday emphatically rejected a plan by the state\u2019s governor for their deputies to help patrol the city following last weekend\u2019s deadly shooting of a right-wing supporter of President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Their decision threw into doubt a plan announced a day earlier by Gov. Kate Brown to keep the peace in Portland by adding nearby sheriffs deputies and Oregon State Police troopers as the liberal city struggles to regain its footing in the glare of the national spotlight.<\/p>\n

Brown, a Democrat, announced the security plan for Portland after the fatal shooting of Aaron Danielson, 39, on Saturday as Black Lives Matter protesters clashed with Trump supporters who drove in a caravan through the city. No one has been arrested in the case.<\/p>\n

The rejection by the two sheriffs, elected as nonpartisans, increases uncertainty about Portland\u2019s future just as Trump puts the chaos in Portland in his campaign crosshairs as part of his law and order re-election campaign theme.<\/p>\n

Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said inundating the city with more law enforcement would not work because Portland\u2019s newly elected district attorney has dismissed charges against hundreds of protesters arrested for non-violent, low-level crimes.<\/p>\n

Roberts and Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett also said the liability for their deputies would be too great amid worries deputies could be sued for actions they take outside their home jurisdictions. – article<\/p>\n

And unless things have changed recently (haven’t seen anything so far), the maire of Portland, OR, a slacker who looks good in a suit, is getting his comeuppance.<\/p>\n

If I recall correctly, that happened some place else a long time ago. History repeating itself?\u00a0 Ask Robespierre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
