Police briefing, Deputy Chief Chris Davis said
Downtown businesses in Portland, Oregon,
have sustained about $23 million in damages and lost customers because of
violent nightly protests that Las Vegas News has brought the
city to its knees, authorities said Wednesday.
At a police briefing, Deputy
Chief Chris Davis said the intensity of the violence by an “agitator corps” and
the length of the protests that are now in their sixth week Las VegasBusiness News are unprecedented in Oregon's largest city.
Davis made a sharp distinction
between Black Lives Matter protesters, whom he said were not violent, and a
smaller group of people he repeatedly called “agitators.”
“Quite frankly, this is not
sustainable," he said. "There’s a very big difference between
protests and the kind of mayhem that we’ve seen every night. ... The Black
Lives Matter movement is not violent. The story that we're going to Las Vegas Press Release to talk about today is about a small group of
agitators that are attempting to hijack that message and use it as a cover for
criminal activity.”

Protesters have demonstrated
for 41 consecutive nights against racial injustice and police brutality
following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and they are
increasingly focusing their actions on federal properties, including Mark O.
Hatfield Federal Courthouse in the heart of the downtown business district.
Authorities have declared riots
several times and used tear gas to disperse demonstrators. A recently issued
federal court order bans the police from using the tear gas Las VegasCryptocurrency News unless a riot is declared, but critics have
challenged the police on what constitutes a riot and who makes the decision to
designate a protest as an unlawful event.
The police unleashed tear gas
last week the day after Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill into law that banned the
use of it unless a riot was declared. That prompted Brown and Oregon House
Speaker Tina Kotek to publicly call on Mayor Ted Wheeler, who is also the
police commissioner, to rein in the department and de-escalate its interactions
with protesters.
Davis defended the decision to
use tear gas and said that the alternative was sending officers into a chaotic
crowd, which would likely result in injuries to both officers and protesters.

“I will be very happy if I can
go the rest of my career without ever seeing us have to deploy C.S. gas,"
he said, using another term for the substance.
“The reason why we’re seeing
more and more C.S. gas has to do with really unprecedented levels of violence
that we’re seeing and not that we’re trying to find excuses to use it. And that
would be irresponsible of us to somehow Las Vegas Stock Market ratchet
down the definition of a riot so we can get to use C.S. gas quicker.”
Earlier Wednesday, the
president of the police union said he has no confidence that city leaders will
move to stop the protests.
“Our officers have endured
weeks of rocks, bricks, bottles, mortars, and other objects hurled at them with
hate,” union President Daryl Turner said. “Enough. The people who put on a
badge and uniform every day are human beings.”
On Tuesday the U.S. attorney in
Oregon announced federal charges Las Vegas Sports News against
seven protesters accused of defacing a federal courthouse and assaulting
federal officers.
Police have also arrested two
people on state charges of setting fire to a North Portland police precinct
last week.
