Part 4/12:
Andy criticizes the Portland mayor, who also serves as police commissioner, for failing to curb violence. He claims the police are often instructed to stand down, leaving mobs to act freely. Incidents he's reported—such as assaults, milkshake attacks, and even a man swinging a crowbar—are indicative of a broader systemic issue: local authorities allowing or even enabling violence.
He highlights that police are reluctant or prohibited from intervening, citing directives not to question or detain suspects amid crowd chaos. The result is a city where violent groups can organize openly, escalate their tactics, and threaten innocents with little repercussion.
