Portland police and FBI are investigating a death apprehension against Mayor Ted Wheeler a few days after promising to “take back our city” from an “anarchist mob”, according to a report.
Chilling’s threat was made on Twitter on Wednesday night in a video in which self-styled Antifa loyalists vowed to continue the riots in the city of Oregon – and include the mayor’s home address as a warning, Oregonians said.
Wearing a full-face mask and an “anonymous” -style alter voice, “the story is already in your hands, Ted,” says the video’s narrator.
“Next time, it may just be your own,” the narrator warns in a two-minute video – with a menacing chakli as his address is posted.
“Ted, we are asking you to resign last time. If you blatantly ignore this message, then your life is going to be ruined in a priceless way, ”it warns.
The outlet said identifiers as members of Portland’s anarchist and anti-fascist community say riots and widespread property destruction will continue until Wheeler resigns.
“Window smashing and rioting is a necessary escalation when those in power have proved that they are not ready to listen,” the video’s narrator says.
Days after it arrived, Wheeler said on Friday that it was time to “make a stand” against the “self-described anarchist mob” that had been separating from the City of Roses since George Floyd’s death last May .
“Our job is to unmask them, arrest them and prosecute them,” he was quoted as saying.
A spokesman for Wheeler, Jim Middo, told The Oregonian that the mayor and his office learned the video Wednesday night and the Portland Police Bureau conducted an investigation.
Sgt Portland police spokesman Kevin Allen confirmed the bureau’s investigation, but said he could not release additional details at this time.
FBI spokesman Beth Anne Steele also confirmed that the feds were assisting the Portland police.
