The mayor of Portland demanded the withdrawal of federal officers from the northwestern US city, accusing them of dangerously escalating the situation with abusive, unconstitutional tactics against protesters.
“What’s happening here is we have dozens, if not hundreds, of federal troops descending upon our city. What they’re doing is they are sharply escalating the situation,“ Wheeler said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” The Portland protests were part of a nationwide wave against police brutality sparked by the killing in May of George Floyd, the unarmed African American who died when a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
