“We have Responded To The Mixed Messages Of Our Leaders…”
The Oregonian carries a story about the Occupiers. In the story is another about Officer Daryl Turner, president of the 900-member Portland Police Association, who said he believes the protests have been overshadowed by troublemakers.
“There is an element there that has a different agenda and that agenda doesn’t seem to be coinciding with what Occupy Portland is all about,” Turner said. “They’re actually provoking a confrontation.”
“The premise of what Occupy Portland is saying is worthy and important,” he said.
But the union noted that taxpayers have already shelled out $200,000 for extra police resources and will pay more to clean up garbage, damage and illegal structures left by Occupy Portland campers.
“If the Occupy Portland movement has a message, let it be heard, but not at the cost of taxpayers dollars, police resources, and the damage it has done to the citizens and business owners who are a large majority of the 99 percent,” the union wrote in a letter addressed to the “Citizens of Portland.”
Officer Turner writes that inspite of the great cost to the residents of the city, businesses and the police “We have Responded To The Mixed Messages Of Our Leaders…” That may not go over well with our pervert Mayor Adams who supports free speech of the Occupy movement. We’ll see if Officer Turner is soon walking the beat, penalty for speaking up!
