PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) – A man is accused of breaking the window of a Portland Police Bureau patrol vehicle and pepper spraying the officer inside Sunday morning.
At 9:39 a.m., PPB said an officer was in his marked patrol vehicle in the area of South Corbett Avenue and South Lane Street.
The officer was doing paperwork when a man approached the vehicle. The man proceeded to break the back window on the hatch and pepper spray the inside. He then fled to a vehicle to drive away from the scene, according to PPB.
After the man drove off, the officer was able to broadcast suspect information over the radio to other officers.
The pepper sprayed officer and others found the suspect vehicle and stopped it six blocks away from the scene. The man was arrested, and the victim officer recognized the suspect vehicle as one that had followed him earlier.
Inside the suspect vehicle, police found window punch tools, pepper spray, throwing knives, a laser pointer, a slingshot, rocks, and other items. All were seized as evidence.
The suspect was identified as John B. Russell, 41, of Portland. Russell was booked into the Multnomah County Jail.
He faces charges of assaulting a public safety officer, aggravated harassment, and first-degree criminal mischief.
PPB said the pepper sprayed officer is recovering.
"As police officers, we know that the vast majority of community members who approach and contact us do so with no intention to do us harm," said PPB Chief Chuck Lovell in a statement. "However, attacks like this one remind us all that there is the potential for people to try to take direct violent action against police officers. I applaud the officer for remaining calm and locating the involved subject and thank our investigators for furthering this investigation."

Great video showing BLM connection to the Chinese com party

This one at first blush looks pretty bad for the police. Hope there is full video and body cam info to support the shooting, or it could get very ugly for the Officer's involved. And probably will anyway no matter what is produced.

For example, I don't think it's fair to say that businesses paying protection money are supporting the Mafia.

Given that 99.8% of the time, the initial narrative turns out to be 99.8% fiction, color me skeptical.

Sad thing is about the above story, as most of these stories turn out to be complete BS when the facts come out, means I won't believe shit about it until I see some kind of hard evidence that backs his friends story.

The family's expression of loss isn't evidence of whether or not the use of deadly force was justified. I'm sure there were family members that said nice things about Ted Bundy and his humanity too. What matters is the actual facts surrounding the incident. Who did what, when they did it, and why. Absolutely none of those things have been disclosed to the public in detail and details matter, if the incident occurred in a big city like NYC, Chicago, or Los Angeles, or some small Texas town like "Wolfe City" which most of us have probably never even heard of until today.

The narrative from the last one was "he was trying to break up a fight and was shot for no reason" and riots began.
Then the video appears showing him with a weapon, the reports of him being there illegally, THEN the truth about him being a rapist, theif, and potentially a kidnapper are revealed as the smoking ruins of the city cool in the background

Totally agree, and it doesn't really matter when the facts do come out. Just putting it here to show we will soon have another martyr that they can hoist over the fires they will inevitably start

Alleged Antifa Activists Drag Woman Holding Huge American Flag To Ground By Her Hair
I’m not passing any judgement at all until a lot more information is made available.
I will note that this incident, with the information available now, further makes the case for NOT getting involved, being a good witness, and calling 911. This is driven home in our CCW renewal class every couple of years, usually with scenarios that never seem to work out like you might hope (hint, stuff has a habit of going sideways). The instructor never fails to mention that this is the approach the Sheriff recommends his deputies take when off duty unless there is immediate risk of death to a victim.
A uniformed officer rolling up to a conflict has to make quick decisions on how to handle things with little to no background information. There are a plethora of ways things can go wrong, all good reasons to not involve oneself if one’s conscience will allow.

Unfortunately I agree...... It’s the whole conscience thing that bothers me. “IF”,”IF”,it plays out he was following his inner self conscience dictates I am sorry for our loss. He sounds like he was a hell of a good guy.

We have discussed it numerous times...to the point that it would have to be a special situation for me to be involved.
