— Statue of Confederate Gen. Wickham toppled in Richmond, Virginia— Mayor of Portland, Oregon, orders police not to use CS gas except as last resortPORTLAND, Ore. — Just before midnight, police began dispersing protesters assembling near the county’s Justice Center after declaring “a civil disturbance and unlawful assembly.”

The mayhem in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood followed a large, peaceful demonstration earlier in the day with medical workers demonstrating against racism and police brutality. It also came a day after Mayor Jenny Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best imposed a 30-day moratorium on the department’s use of one kind of tear gas.

Critics have called on the Portland Police Bureau to permanently ban the use of CS gas on protesters.

If they are so peaceful why the need for tear gas

PORTLAND AND OREGON POLICE FAVORITE PROUD BOYS

Why did they use flash bang devices and pepper spray to disperse protestors. Your language makes it sound as if the protestors were doing nothing but protesting. Lies, all lies.

Our fellow American's in Portland are being subjected to brutal urban warfare every night since the BlackLivesMatter movement started. Enough is enough. When will someone in leadership step in to stop this!!!!

Wondering why pepper spray can't be used coming from a mobile truck with turret hose that can spray a distance like a fire department hose. If it were developed, shouldn't be that difficult, it could be used on massive crowds of rioters.

but God forbid if you want to go to a funeral of a loved one or want to get married or have your nails done..

How many black people are in this picture? What is this protest really about? Why did the photographer/editor feel the need to center the black person?

You mean peaceful protests?

Tell the truth these are riots not protests and the shit eating commies in office are allowing it.

Might be a great time to mention that Oregon was founded to be a “whites only” state. So most people that live there are racist or at least support it. This is exactly the treatment from Portland police that anyone who understands the history of Oregon would expect.

Peace for USA

Love the fact that statue is no longer there

Can the Smithsonian just open a museum already and explain why these statues were removed and why they are considered racist.

There's only one to handle the Tifa. Water-cannon them right up into the helicopter. It's the only way to be sure.

way to go Richmond

Im all for police using deadly force to any and all who unlaw or insubordnant. Shoot and don't miss! Thin out the Most violent people in the country and that detterance will end this now before people take up arms. It will save more lives than will be lost .

Wow you won't even report on police beating your own journalists?

You forgot...Antifa wussed out.

Our fellow American's in Portland are being subjected to brutal urban warfare every night since the BlackLivesMatter movement started. Enough is enough. When we someone step in to stop this!!!!

Well, no loss of a confederate statue. It was getting removed anyway. We should remake Stone Mountain, GA into a Black Leaders monument. Martin Luther King Jr, Malcom X, Elijah Cummings, Rosa Parks.

The FACTS ....remembers 1960's ...

Civil disturbance and unlawful assembly.

Seattle and PDX will be back. The cops will learn that as long as they pull these dangerous stunts, the people will still protest.

They’re BEATING THEM

You made the AP assholes! Good job. Vote Ted Wheeler...

These ain’t protests sweetheart
