(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A member of Antifa and outspoken advocate for “political violence” is now in charge of training the police officers of Portland, Oregon, how to identify white supremacy.
The city’s mayor, Ted Wheeler, hired Antifa extremist Beatrix Wing Ling Li for a consulting role with the Portland Police Department, the Post Millennial reported.
Li works for the left-wing Oregon Justice Resource Center, a legal activist group which “seek[s] to frustrate and dismantle mass incarceration.”
She has suggested killing people in Twitter posts, and even celebrated an Antifa attack on a locally-owned Portland coffee house for hosting an event called “Coffee with a Cop.”
“Good job to those who smashed windows! I’m proud of you. Coffee with a cop should not ever happen,” she tweeted in response to the event. “And for the coffee shop if you have to be concerned, windows don’t cost a lot. Federal hate crimes and trumped up charges do.”

She openly threatened newly elected City Council Commissioner Rene Gonzalez, saying she and her Antifa goons will “make [him] regret [he] ever ran.”
One of her posts also recommended “we kill all men” in order to circumvent the need for reproductive rights.
The Oregon Justice Resource Center is a public organization that advocated for the defunding of the police in 2020, and states that they are “working to dismantle systemic discrimination in the legal system, defend civil rights, and end mass incarceration in Oregon,” per their Twitter profile.
According to Li, it is “one of the few workplaces where she can have a [picture of a] cop car getting destroyed by a tree.”

Wheeler released a statement regarding the new hire, saying his primary goal for the Portland Police Department was to “identify white supremacy based on the recommendation of the Oregon Justice Research Center.”
The mayor also ordered an investigation into the existing bias of the police department “leading up to and during demonstrations involving alt-right and anti-fascist protestors.”
He did not specify what “demonstration” in deep blue Portland have involved alt-right protestors.
