Mayor Ted Wheeler's photo op tonight has been... interesting...

One creative protester decided to remind #TearGasTed of some of PPB's munitions used against the protesters he claims to be in solidarity with

#PortlandProtest
Some protesters presented a list of demands:

1. Defund PPB by 50% at least and reinvest into the communities, especially the Black community
2. Free all protesters from jail
3. Feds out of Portland now
4. You, Ted Wheeler, need to resign

Any point Ted Wheeler was trying to prove by getting tear gassed by feds is completely undermined by the fact that he has subjected us to this for years through his police force.

Ted Wheeler as police commissioner has fought for PPB's power to attack us with chemical weapons. He has zero fucking credibility here.

He could have helped protect community members YEARS ago and did the exact opposite.

FUCK TED WHEELER
Every single word of this statement could have 100% applied after PPB attacked us at #J20, at May Day marches, throughout these protests, long before the feds got involved

The level of hypocrisy cannot be overstated. Resign motherfucker

#PortlandProtest
Wheeler on CNN & NPR & in the streets calling out feds is a blatant attempt to co-opt, pacify, and shift focus away from his complicity

His desperate efforts to distract will fail. The fight against police brutality and for liberation & justice is our focus

#BlackLivesMatter
Riot declared, loudly, 7th out of how many warnings? They say they're going to use gas... The feds already gassed us. The crowd yells back saying, "we're not going anywhere!"
