Ditto for both nearby city of Gresham and Washington Co. Sheriff:

Aaand the Gresham Police Department now saying they're not sending anybody to assist in Portland either. So that's all three of the neighboring law enforcement agencies the Governor asked to help PPB saying no. pic.twitter.com/FCocDf2kCE

Guess they don't cotton to the idea of fighting the same crew returning to the street night after night for eternity.

Clackamas Sheriff will not help unless Portland gets more serious about prosecuting:

Oregon governor asks counties to provide help to Portland in stopping violence there.

A sheriff declines, responding: “The only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence.”https://t.co/CkE0jCirCm

[....] Police Chief Chuck Lovell said the caravan stretched for miles and there were pockets of violence. The police tried to take precautionary measures to prevent vehicles from making their way downtown.

“We have limited resources,” Chief Lovell said at a news conference on Sunday. “We can’t be everywhere at the same time.”

Portland police officers heard reports of gunfire shortly before 9 p.m. local time and found a man with a gunshot wound to the chest, the police said.

Medical responders determined that the man was dead, the police said.

Officials asked people to not jump to conclusions about what happened and to stay away from Portland as some have expressed a desire to seek retribution.

Who was the man who died?

The man’s identity has not been released.

He was wearing a hat with the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a far-right group based in the Portland area. The group says it seeks to combat “corruption, big government and tyranny, using God for strength and the power of love,” according to its Facebook page, which has more than 40,000 followers.[...]

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, at news conference just now: "Do you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence? It's you who have created the hate and division."

Swinney pulled a gun on protesters Saturday. Chief Lovell said PPB is looking for him. PPB said case is with the DA. The DA said PPB is investigating. Swinney said there are no charges. Today he was at a protest in Gresham. w/ @MrOlmos @conradjwilson https://t.co/grXVxoM0vo

The immature militia role play abounds, here's a Black group at the DC march on Friday:

Today at the National Action Network's March on DC, the "Not F***ing Around Coalition" (NFAC) militia gathered in front of the MLK Jr. Memorial.

While they usually carry pistols and rifles, today they carried knives, a machete, empty pistol holsters, and wore bulletproof vests. pic.twitter.com/Jufr70xWXy
