None of the city's nearly 1,000 police officers will have the day off.
USA TODAYIn this June 29, 2019, file photo, after a confrontation between authorities and protesters, police use pepper spray as multiple groups, including Rose City Antifa, the Proud Boys and others protest in downtown Portland, Ore. Portland police are mobilizing in hopes of avoiding clashes between out-of-state hate groups planning a rally Saturday, Aug. 17, 2019, and homegrown anti-fascists who say they’ll come out to oppose them.
The event, which has not been given a permit, is organized by former InfoWars staffer Joe Biggs and supported by Enrique Tarrio, national head of the Proud Boys, an all-male, far-right group that champions "Western values." Wheeler and Chief Danielle Outlaw have and vowed to use the full force of the law against anyone committing acts of violence or vandalism.
"We fully support free speech, and we fully agree that antifa is a domestic terrorist organization that uses force and the threatened use of force to intimidate, silence, and suppress the free speech of Americans," Rhodes said in a statement on his group's website.
