Back to the thread topic (for some reason some posters continue to try and derail this thread, hmm), the spineless mayor of Portland has now ordered the police to cease using tear gas immediately.

I guess 105 straight days of, very often violent, protest aren't enough for Ted. Is there a record he's trying to set? The state police have issued a statement that this decision will cause them to review whether they will continue to assist the beleaguered city.
Oregon State Police Capt. Timothy Fox said in a statement to The Oregonian/OregonLive that his agency still views tear gas as a viable tool to protect officers and the public. “The OSP will be forced to assess our involvement in assisting the city of Portland,” Fox said. “We will not for force our troopers into this untenable situation and limit their ability to defend themselves and others.”
"Largely peaceful"
