Part 12/13:
Andy Noe’s personal recounts shed light on the dysfunctional police response in Portland. Despite numerous threats and assaults—some nearly fatal—law enforcement consistently failed to arrest or detain those involved, especially those affiliated with Antifa. He describes a police force seemingly more inclined to arrest right-wing individuals during riots while ignoring or outright enabling left-wing agitators.
This failure has fueled frustration among residents and journalists alike, who argue that local authorities have effectively abdicated their responsibilities. The violence, which intensifies nightly, has created a climate of lawlessness that the federal government now seeks to address with force.
