Meanwhile, in Portland, Oregon, Ted Wheeler called for a crackdown on Antifa anarchists.

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn earlier this month, several NYPD officers were hit with an unknown chemical substance and a molotov cocktail was thrown at them during a traffic stop.

“Words matter. Earlier this week we said that again after graffiti that proclaimed ‘kill cops.’ This morning..a Molotov cocktail thrown at an occupied marked police car,” NYPD Chief Dermot Shea wrote in a tweet on April 17. “Now more than ever is the time to come together, to move forward together.”
