Portland At Around Day 96
The Oregon State Troopers are coming back to Portland. They were deputized by US Marshalls when they were here about two or so weeks ago. If they are assaulted by the mob, the Feds will prosecute those arrested for assaulting a trooper because they are federal officers, as well as state officers.
Governor Kate Brown wanted other state law enforcement officers to reinforce the Portland Police Bureau. So far every agency has refused, citing the Multnomah County DA’s refusal to prosecute those arrested for interfering with a police officer. The word is out that this DA may be more interested in prosecuting police officers, rather than rioters.
