Portland Police moved to reassure Antifa extremists that a man they shot in the back was white in order to avoid a riot after it was erroneously reported the victim was black.

Yes, really.

After a man allegedly armed with a screwdriver was shot by cops outside a motel in Northeast Portland, authorities moved quickly to announce that the suspect was not African-American.

There is erroneous information being circulated on social media regarding in the officer involved shooting in the Lloyd district. We can confirm that the subject involved is an adult white male. No one else was injured.

“There is erroneous information being circulated on social media regarding in the officer involved shooting in the Lloyd district. We can confirm that the subject involved is an adult white male. No one else was injured,” tweeted Portland Police.

As Andy Ngo highlighted, the tweet was posted in order to avoid a confrontation with Antifa rioters, who were already gathering at the location after rumors swirled that the man shot by police was black.

Portland Police had to issue a tweet clarifying that the person shot today in NE Portland was white after antifa said it was a person of color. Antifa & far-left protesters have gathered at the scene to confront police based on the racial rumor. https://t.co/B4dJ71S5yF

“Nothing to worry about folks, we just killed a white guy!” joked Chris Menahan.

Portland Police also likely leaked to the news media that the officer who fired the shots was black.

Man shot by police is white . He was taken by ambulance to a hospital. Officer who fired shots is Black.

According to an eyewitness, the man shot by police was suicidal and became agitated as he was being helped into an ambulance before lunging at cops with the screwdriver.

However, the man was only apparently shot when he was running away from officers, meaning that a protest would have actually been justified in this case.

The situation mirrors that of a similar incident that took place in Minnesota back in April.

After a carjacker fired shots at police, he was gunned down by cops. Black Lives Matter protesters immediately gathered in response but soon left after it emerged the victim was white.

A clip out of Minneapolis shows a rioter forgetting the name of the person he’s supposed to be rioting over.

What an idiot.

Video footage shows a burning pile of debris with the rioter initially out of shot. When he agrees to appear on camera, he immediately confirms his total ignorance.

“Stay here, bro, we’re holding space, obviously for…I’m not gonna lie, I forgot his name, but like…” says the rioter.

“Winston Smith,” the person filming the footage has to remind him.

The rioter then goes on to emphasize multiple times how it’s important to remember the name of Winston Smith, having forgotten it himself.

“Winston Smith, don’t forget that name, Winston Smith,” says the idiot, presumably as a reminder to himself.

“Say his name, make sure you remember this shit,” he adds, having failed to remember it.

“We’re gonna fight for him in just the same way we fought for George Floyd,” he says.

What, by burning down buildings, looting stores and attacking anyone who doesn’t agree with your violent temper tantrum?

As ever, the individual they’re rioting over, who was killed by U.S. Marshals last night, was a criminal suspect wanted on a gun charge.

According to a Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department spokesman, Smith “”failed to comply and produced a handgun, resulting in task force members firing upon the subject.”

“Law enforcement sources told FOX 9 the person who was shot was a murder suspect,” reports Newsweek.

Police departments across America are reinforcing and developing new tactics in order to prepare for a “violent summer,” according to a WSJ report.

The prediction is partly based on the lifting of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, although they had little impact in reducing the plague of violence that swept American cities last summer after the death of George Floyd.

Rising gun crimes and a surge in firearms sales are also cited as evidence that the coming months could represent an explosive powder keg.

“Police departments in New York City and other large metro areas across the U.S. are bulking up patrols and implementing new tactics to prepare for what they say could be a violent summer,” states the report.

Cities with a population of at least one million saw a 32.2% spike in homicides during the last 3 months of 2020, while murders are all up significantly in New York, Dallas and Chicago compared to this time last year.

In NYC alone, there have been 451 year-to-date shootings, up by 86% compared to 2020, when there were 242 shootings.

“Keep in mind that New York saw its most violent summer last year since 1996,” reports Zero Hedge. “Meanwhile, the country currently finds itself extremely polarized over more than just police reform, as ongoing tensions in the Middle East have spilled over into US streets, and anti-lockdown activists around the world have been fiercely protesting economy-killing pandemic measures – which we imagine our ‘wise and benevolent’ leaders like New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) won’t hesitate to re-implement if COVID-19 even thinks about surging again.”

As we previously highlighted, according to John Roman, a senior fellow at the economics, justice and society group at NORC at the University of Chicago, the lasting impact of COVID lockdowns in addition to loss of faith in police will lead to violent disorder this summer.

“Summer 2021 is going to be abnormally violent. And summer 2022 as well. It is the new normal,” wrote Roman.
