“We must stand together as a community against this ongoing criminal intimidation and violence,” Wheeler said. “I’ve met with the district attorney, the U.S. attorney, the sheriff and others who all agree they too will take actions to hold law violators accountable.”

Wheeler also called on residents to report suspicious activity to the police by capturing photos of license plates as well as calling the police if they can do so safely. Police noted, a city resident who was capturing the chaos had a rock thrown through his window.

Public safety officials said in a crowd of around 75 people, two were arrested. Prior to Friday’s riot, Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis of the Portland Police Bureau said the department was gearing up for possible unrest.

“We’re seeing a lot of the same people at these events night after night after night,” Chief Davis said. “Several people have been arrested now more than once for crimes ranging all the way from disorderly conduct to arson, even to attempted murder.”

Chief Davis added, the riots impact the department’s ability to respond to other needs in the city.

Wheeler’s state of emergency was initially put in place April 20 ahead of the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, however, riots took place despite the order. An estimated 150 people blocked roads and smashed the windows of businesses.

Additionally, a video showed a police sergeant allegedly getting punched in the head by a protester.

The Portland Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office said between May 28, 2020, and February 26, 2021 they received nearly 300 cases related to the civil unrest.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
