波特兰市长在抗议现场被联邦执法人员喷催泪瓦斯

波特兰市市长Ted Wheeler周三晚加入该市的反种族主义与警察暴力的大规模抗议活动中。然而，Wheeler却被联邦执法人员喷了催泪瓦斯。在联邦执法人员开始镇压示威者之前，Wheeler试图向抗议的人群解释自己的立场，但他多次受到人群的嘲弄。当Wheeler告诉人们他正在尽一切可能将联邦执法人员赶出波特兰时，许多人用尖锐的态度回应，有人大喊：“辞职！” “立即辞职！” 他告诉人们，如果当天晚上他们被催泪瓦斯袭击，他会加入人群中的。当地时间晚上11点之后，联邦执法人员开了第一轮催泪弹。Wheeler戴着护目镜与抗议者一起在联邦大楼外站着，直到烟雾迫使他撤退。

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was hit with tear gas fired by federal officers late on Wednesday as he stood alongside protesters massed again outside a courthouse.

In the hours before the federal agents cracked down on demonstrators, Wheeler was repeatedly heckled and screamed at as he attempted to explain his position at a time when protests have gripped his city and President Trump has sent federal officers to his streets.

When Wheeler told the crowd that he was doing everything he could to get the feds out of Portland, many reacted with vitriol. Some yelled, “Quit your job!” and “Resign now!” But others cheered when he told the group that if they got tear-gassed that night, he would join them.

Wheeler joined protesters at a protective fence outside the federal buildings. After 11 p.m. local time, the feds fired their first rounds of tear gas. Wheeler stayed at the fence with goggles on until the fumes forced him to retreat.  source
