Portland shooting: Donald Trump supporter allegedly shot dead in clash with BLM protesters

Trump posted “Law & Order” in response to Portland’s continued clashes, which is under its 94th night of straight protests.

Trump has also blamed the “big backlash” on the Mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler and threatening to involve the National Guard.

“The big backlash going on in Portland cannot be unexpected after 95 days of watching and incompetent Mayor admit that he has no idea what he is doing. The people of Portland won’t put up with no safety any longer. The Mayor is a FOOL. Bring in the National Guard!” he tweeted.

The Oregon city has been an epicentre of BLM protests since the police killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in Minnesota in late May and tensions were further inflamed after 29-year-old Jacob Blake was shot seven times by Wisconsin police on August 24.

Video footage showed officer Rusten Sheskey of the Kenosha Police Department shooting Mr Blake, who was paralysed in the attack and remains in hospital.

Over the weekend, a “caravan of hundreds of cars” of Trump supporters also converged there, according to local media.

Portland Police tweeted a political rally was “caravanning throughout downtown Portland,” adding: “There have been some instances of violence between demonstrators and counterdemonstrators. Officers have intervened and in some cases made arrests.”

Our great National Guard could solve these problems in less than 1 hour. Local authorities must ask before it is too late. People of Portland, and other Democrat run cities, are disgusted with Schumer, Pelosi, and thier local “leaders”. They want Law & Order! https://t.co/f6LOKcf7BU— Donald J.

It is time for President Trump to declare the city of Portland in a state of insurrection and call up the National Guard on federal orders to keep the peace— Jack Posobiec
