On Chuck Lovell’s, Portland’s new police chief, first night of watch:

No unlawful assembly declared ✅
No tear gas ✅

[Sports & Fizz 🏈⚽️🏀⚾️🏒 @Sports_Fizz]

Oh no! Dopey @tedwheeler is probably fuming now...he won’t get his deposit back on his sacred rent-a-fence. #TearGasTed #WarCrimesWheeler #resignted #portlandprotest

[Sergio Olmos @MrOlmos]

Part of the fence has been peeled open

[Sports & Fizz 🏈⚽️🏀⚾️🏒 @Sports_Fizz]

Wow!! #PortlandProtests

This Dan Holladay guy seems to be on the wrong side of every issue. Oregon City residents should get rid of him, what an embarrassment!

An Oregon mayor walked out of a city meeting after some residents called him out for his social media posts in the wake of George Floyd's killing, including one where he said unarmed black people being killed by police "is hardly an epidemic" https://t.co/cJoazWq7Kh (by @sfkale)

Jami Resch steps down as Portland police chief, asks African American lieutenant to fill the job https://t.co/ECiZDHaysU

This is actually a great move. Lovell is the type of cop Portland needs more of. I hope he can start immediate changes with the @PortlandPolice.

[Willamette Week @wweek]

Lovell will become the fourth black police chief in Portland's history. https://t.co/uL38OH70mV

@alex_zee .@PDXFire @JoAnnPDX should pull these firefighter/paramedics off these riot squads immediately.

[Sports & Fizz 🏈⚽️🏀⚾️🏒 @Sports_Fizz]

Just take down your dumb rent-a-fence already @tedwheeler. #dopeyted #TearGasTed

[Sergio Olmos @MrOlmos]

Police warn that tampering with the fence “in any way” will subject demonstrators to use of force, including crowd crontol munitions.

[Sergio Olmos @MrOlmos]

Someone yells “Way to put tear gas on the same level as water bottles, assholes”

[@sarahforpdx.bsky.social @sarahforpdx]

The Portland Police have no grounds for asking non-violent demonstrators to leave. Peaceful assembly is their Constitutional right.

[Sports & Fizz 🏈⚽️🏀⚾️🏒 @Sports_Fizz]

Oh no...@tedwheeler’s dumb rent-a-fence is being touched. Time to beat the crap out of our city residents.

[Portland Police @PortlandPolice]

More shaking of the fence, more lasers in officers' faces. We are advising to stop or we will need to use force.

[@sarahforpdx.bsky.social @sarahforpdx]

This is unacceptable in a democracy. Local press fearing for their safety at the hands of municipal police. #PortlandProtests

[Sports & Fizz 🏈⚽️🏀⚾️🏒 @Sports_Fizz]

Aaaaannnndddd...these announcements only make people do it more. Can’t believe @PortlandPolice haven’t figured out how to deescalate things yet. It’s like they want an 11pm battle every night. @tedwheeler needs to get his PPB goons in check.

[Portland Police @PortlandPolice]

We are warning demonstrators to not push, climb or tamper with the fence. The fence is there to help protect the Justice Center and the adults-in-custody and the people working in the building. We have a responsibility to protect them.

[Sports & Fizz 🏈⚽️🏀⚾️🏒 @Sports_Fizz]

I’m shocked I tell you, just shocked. #notreallyshocked
