OSP troopers federally deputized amid renewed Portland protest response

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon State Police troopers responding to the ongoing protest-related unrest in Portland have been federally deputized, state police confirm.

State police tell KOIN 6 News they’re working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to review arrests made by troopers assigned to Portland for potential prosecution. The troopers assigned to Portland have been cross-deputized by the U.S. Marshals.

The Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt previously announced his office would presumptively decline to prosecute certain misdemeanor charges stemming from the protests, a move which resulted in criticism from law enforcement agencies, including state police in mid-August.

“OSP is not criticizing any officials and we respect the authority of the [Multnomah County] District Attorney, but to meet the Governor’s charge of bringing violence to an end we will use all lawful methods at our disposal,” an Oregon State Police spokesperson said.

It is unclear at this time whether all arrests made by deputized state police troopers will be prosecuted on a federal level or if assaults on troopers at protests will result in charges of assault on a federal officer. KOIN 6 News has reached out for further clarification.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s office said some troopers were federally deputized earlier this summer in order to enter the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse, which had been the epicenter of protests for the first two months.

Interesting observation and a prediction

Ever since CNN's Don Race Baiting Lemon panicked a few days ago and said that the polls were starting to turn in Trumps favor over the rioting, the Dims have been a bit less pushy on encouraging the young Marxist youth to burn and loot. Its subtle, but there's a different tone since the weekend.

Prediction:
Youre going to be hearing a lot of "Law and Order" from the Dims all of a sudden. The "Blame the riots on Trump" noise is ratcheting up already.
(Tell a lie enough times and a certain segment of the population with an IQ of garden vegetables will begin to believe it.)

The interesting question for the hypocrite Dims will be to see if the Marxist yute obey their handlers commands to stand down once they stop being paid....

Exactly. Tucker and Hannity both showed Don Lemon video of what he was saying 30 days ago and what he is saying now. Now that the polls are changing so is Don Lemon. What an idiot.

I can't understand why that moron has to move. He keeps telling us they are just peaceful protesters....while they're trying to burn down an occupied condominium building. Last time I checked, attempted arson of an occupied building is a shooting offense, but in Portland the Prosecutor won't even prosecute the arsonists.

Ah.. so the logic "disarm the people" claim they have no need as the police will be there to protect them.. and then you abandon the claimed responsibilities to protect the peace. Indeed that Data meme is accurate from a completely logical point of view.

Sigh, when will the sheep learn of the fleecing?
