The mayor said violent protesters will be used as "props" for President Trump's reelection campaign

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.

“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.

"Don’t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are," he said. "You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign. If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.”

A riot was declared Wednesday evening when agitators descended upon the Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct building, spray-painted over security cameras, broke a glass door with a 2x4, lit a fire using an accelerant and threw fireworks and other objects at officers, according to FOX 12 in Portland.

Wheeler gave tacit support to the rioters for weeks.

But now that he is sensing a shift in the polls that shows the average American is not on board with all that mayhem, he wants to pretend he is against those rioters.

Remember when we were told that they were only protesting because Trump sent his paratroopers to attack peaceful protesters?

So now that the paratroopers/goons/stormtroopers... whatever, are gone, why are they still protesting again?

Lovely bunch, these "peaceful" protesters.

Rioters again returned to the Portland Police Department’s East Precinct Thursday night, which is in a residential area, where they doused an elderly woman with paint and harassed another who was using a walker.
