The video below explains why the police refuse to help Portland anymore........It says - When rioters are arrested, they are just let go - no consequences. The rioters know this and they are getting more and more violent against the police. AND........Portland citizens have their businesses and their personal property destroyed. Democrats have decided to continue to take a pay check while they ignore cries for help from the citizens of their cities.

Mayors, DA's office, and the Court system have quit doing their job of protecting the public. Yet they all want the public to think it is the police that are the problem.
Police cannot be expected to put their body's as a target and put their actual life on the line when there are no consequences to those who harm them and no consequences for those who destroy property and seek to harm others. Moreover, if police officers even look like they are not being gentle enough, their employment could be on the line - and even worse.
Everyone agrees that our police need to be better trained and better monitored in their performance (and higher paid in my opinion) but police cannot do their job if they have no support from those who give them their orders. In Portland, police have arrested unpeaceful protesters - rioters - and within hours the rioters are allowed to walk free with no consequences.
