Pandering to elites through emotive displays does not keep the public safe.
At the very moment Portland needed a display of steadiness and command, its police chief stepped to the podium for a press conference and delivered a tearful collapse. His unraveling came as he acknowledged that the two individuals shot by a Border Patrol agent were illegal immigrants tied to the violent Tren de Aragua gang, yet he worried aloud about seeming to blame them for being shot.
GTFOH….. The sitting police chief of Portland crying because two trende auga gang members were wounded by ice officers.
I’ve met good officers in Portland you can’t feel bad enough for them with this limp noodle as a Chief. This is disgusting. pic.twitter.com/YJ7vUhuEfC
