There have been false reports all evening on social media claiming the death of the driver of the white Truck who was beaten unconscious in the streets of Portland last night. As I say, those reports are false. The Portland Police released a report on the incident and say the man was “transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is recovering.”
Here’s the initial report from Portland PD:
On August 16, 2020 at 10:27 p.m., Portland Police officers responded to an accident call at the intersection of Southwest Taylor Street and Broadway. The call read that “protestors chased a white Ford 4×4, which has crashed” at that location and “protestors drug him out of car.” Another witness called prior to police arrival and reported that 9-10 people were “beating the guy.”
Officers responded and found an adult male who was unconscious with injuries. The victim was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is recovering.
Portland Police became aware of video’s circulating through social media, which show various events of what led up to an assault of the victim. The series of events was carried out in different locations involving many different people. This in an ongoing investigation and the Police Bureau will provide further information as it is available.
Investigators learned that the victim may have been trying to help a transgender female who had some of her thing stolen in the area of Southwest Taylor and 4th Ave, the location where this incident began. That person has not been contacted and their identity is unknown. Investigators would like to speak to this person.
The report links to video we haven’t seen from before the man crashed his truck. You’ll see BLM thugs harassing him, assaulting him, and chasing him down:

They also link to this one which shows people trying to figure out how to treat him, with one person just dumping cold water on his face while someone yells ‘roll him over, his neck is not broken’. How the heck do they know that????

At this point the man identified as Keese Love hasn’t been arrested. But hopefully he will soon!
