Do you have any citation for this assertion? I’m not saying that I don’t believe you, I simply haven’t heard anything about it.

Not that that is an altogether off-the-mark nickname for Portland. At least in D.C. the police were simply standing guard over happy people celebrating and ballroom dancing. Here in Portland every officer on the force had to be called in for OT, wearing riot gear, because once again Portland protesters couldn't be mature enough to merely protest. They had to vandalize public and private property, disrupt traffic, break out in fighting, and even chain themselves to gas pumps. Yes, much much better than somebody ballroom dancing to honor their President.
