Texts Show Protective Relationship Between Portland Cops and Patriot Prayer

Portland police even helped one member of the far right group to avoid arrest despite there being a warrant out on him

Niiya also warns Gibson against bringing Tusitala “Tiny” Toese to a Portland rally, since there was an active warrant for his arrest. In short, Niiya was actively helping Toese avoid arrest. This appears to contradict PPB's "Dissemination of Information" directive, that states:

"Members shall not provide information directly or indirectly that may enable any person to avoid arrest, punishment, or to conceal or dispose of goods, money, or other valuable things stolen or otherwise unlawfully obtained."

Leader of far right group asking his cop friend to investigate people he doesn't like

The recorded text conversations show an unprecedented level of access between a member of the public and a police officer. Gibson regularly texts Niiya asking him to investigate people based on comments made on Patriot Prayer's Facebook page, or on a video a member of Patriot Prayer took of a member of antifa.

From a daily beast article on the matter

At an August 4 rally in Portland, police stood between a right-wing coalition and left-wing counter-protesters, ostensibly to keep the two sides separated. But police stood with their backs to Patriot Prayer, and their weapons facing the counter-protesters, ultimately showering the latter group with stun grenades, rubber bullets, and pepper spray. Multiple counter-protesters were badly injured, with one narrowly escaping death when a stun grenade punctured his bicycle helmet. In the ensuing confusion, Patriot Prayer and other right-wingers patrolled the streets, attacking opponents.

Portland cops viciously attack left wing protesters while the far right are given free reign to 'patrol the streets and attack opponents'
