Chief Jami Resch (2nd from left) and Capt. Chuck Lovell met late Sunday with three protest representatives but their meeting was cut short when violence flared outside the Justice Center, Resch said.

The chief said she was proud of the moment earlier Sunday when officers outside the Justice Center agreed to some protesters’ requests to drop to their knees in the street, calling it a moment of “solidarity’’ and “understanding.’’

But she said the late-evening vandalism to the federal courthouse and the Multnomah County courthouse was disturbing.

Is it wrong to pray that Portland slips into the Pacific ocean during the next big earthquake?

Those very officers will probably later be executed by those who come to power through this revolution. How foolish.

The rioters told the cops to get on their knees, and they did it. And the police chief thinks that’s great. Is that what I just read?

But their productive discussion was cut short “by the actions of people who began to throw incendiary’’ devices at officers on the street outside, according to the chief.

Appeasement works nevery time.

At least they will have had practice getting on their knees before the bullet to the back of the head.

The politician who says he wants to “bring us together” loses my vote immediately. There are people in this country and world that I want never to associate with or be near.

A week ago, they would have been shamed for not having / wearing masks. Those were the good old days.

Have a new issue to try to bludgeon Trump on. COVID was yesterday’s news because it is being largely defeated.

Let’s go with the riot thingy; see if we can blame Trump for that!

(Shame it is happening in progressive Democrat run states. See them try to re-locate to some GOP run states and cities. Tough narrative to blame Trump when it is all happening in Democrat strongholds.)

THE LAW OF EFFECT

Generally, you receive more of the behavior that you reward and less of the behavior that you punish.

Be careful. What you see as neutral may be viewed as a reward thereby generating more of the behavior.

Chief Jami Resch appears to be an affirmative action hire, one who climbed the ranks due to experience, leadership and managerial talent, such attributes far superior to the slugs that comprised her peer group.
