During Wheeler’s remarks, he extended the city’s state of emergency and directed Portland Police Bureau officials to “arrest people engaged in any crimes,” The Oregonian reported. He supported the police tactics of “kettling” (boxing people in).
Following Friday’s riot, one of many this month alone, Black Lives Matter activists and other “protesters and community leaders” marched on city hall to protest the mayor’s call for action, KGW NBC8 reported.
Protesters said the mayor misused the words they expressed earlier in the week when they drafted an open letter to demonstrators, the local NBC affiliate stated.
