So on Thursday night, po-po were called to do a welfare check on a white man dressed in all black at a motel.
The agitated man came an officer with a screwdriver. The man refused to drop the weapon.
Chief Chuck Lovell said “our officer encountered a very difficult and dynamic situation that no officer wants to face.”
An office shot and killed the man.
Antifa/BLM took to social media to claim that a person of color was shot and killed by police.
So a group of thugs gathered at the scene the investigation was being carried out, they threw things at officers and were trying to get into the taped off area.
The union representing officers said someone else grabbed an officer’s baton and when another officer stepped in to help, that officer “was sprayed with a chemical.”
This prompted the Portland Police to tweet “there is erroneous information being circulated on social media regarding in the officer involved shooting in the Lloyd district. We can confirm that the subject involved is an adult white male. No one else was injured.”
In other words, please don’t riot, this was a white guy.
