Recordings From a Police Plane Show Officers Looking for Reasons to Arrest the Leftist Protesters Below

Willamette Week

The recordings, Ahern’s attorney Juan Chavez says, show police arrested protesters without suspecting a crime. “The city had an open and verbalized policy of arresting leftist protesters without probable cause,” Chavez wrote in a Feb. 26 legal filing. “The city was so unabashed about this policy that they announced it over the radio before realizing they were recording and then quickly stopped recording.”

Officer on ground: The east bank Proud Boys group has dispersed. It’s down to about 20 waiting for rides and water.

Operations desk: Copy that, just advise them to leave as soon as they can… We’re going to have to do something with the crowd walking south on MLK; it looks like they have the whole street. We’ll have to get some forces up, sound truck.

So #portlandpolice were content to "just advise" their fascist and Nazi friends (who came from all over the country and were so explicit about their intent to kill Portlanders that their pals in the #FBI told them to chill), but they felt the need to concoct spurious bullshit to arrest Portlanders who protested against the Nazis coming to attack and kill people. Sounds about right for #TedWheeler's police force.
