I’d tell him no.

His own rhetoric disqualified him.

Who ‘negotiates’ with a Fed agency? I don’t understand.

If you community pays taxes to the Fed, no negotiation is involved.

YOU pay....THEY serve and support your community. No ‘negotiation’ is involved.

It would be interesting to watch what would happen to Wheeler if he was chained to the fence surrounding the Federal courthouse. I suspect he would find out really fast just how much he is respected by his “friends” from antifa and BLM.

Four politicians who deserve a long vacation in Venezuela are the Governors of Washington and Oregon, and the Mayors of Seattle and Portland. Maybe throw in Seattle city council member Kshama Sawant. Her ranting and raving would surely drive the other four absolutely nuts.

“federal forces”

Notice? Federal Forces?

They want to actually see “actual” federal forces?

I suspect they have heard and earful from their voters who want this crap stopped, like last week!...

That's the game plan... get the city to beg for it all to stop...

Then drop the hammer...

Tell frightened citizens if they elect someone progressive's like the riots/pain/destruction will stop. It's the lie of the lunch room bully - yes for a short the bully gives a break- then he ups what you have to pay... Antifa, democrat mayors, the old USSR and assorted thugs have used tactic... for... for... forever.

We know he coordinated being in the tear gas as a photo op. He waited until the rioters attacked the feds and then walked into it. You can see videos where the terrorists are throwing incendiaries in the background.

The nitwit mayor's REAL goal is to get rid of federal law enforcement so his thugs can get back to destroying the city.

Nothing is stopping them from destroying the rest of the city. The Feds are only involved in protecting the Court House, and their ROE is almost passive. A real defense would set up a militarized perimeter with serious weaponry, allowed to be used. "Don't come within 100 yards unless on official business."

Sounds to me like he wants to negotiate a ceasefire with the Feds and have them leave rather than a ceasefire with the anarchists.
