Michael Forest Reinoehl who was suspected of fatally shooting right-wing group supporter in Portland was killed by US Marshals during an attempted arrest on September 3, 2020. Now, Trump has come forward to 'congratulate' the federal agents for 'a job well done'.

"Congratulations to the U.S. Marshals on a job well done in Portland. LAW & ORDER!" Trump tweeted pointing out at the killing of the Portland protester who killed Trump's supporter, Aaron “Jay” Danielson, on August 29, 2020. Danielson was shot and killed by Reinoehl in downtown Portland after an evening of violent clashes between Trump supporters and protesters.



 

After five days, 48-year-old Reinoehl was shot by law enforcement agents on September 3, as they attempted to arrest him in Lacey, Washington. Reinoehl’s death came a day after VICE published an interview with the army veteran who was reportedly a longstanding presence at Portland’s Black Lives Matter protests. In the interview, Reinoehl said he acted in self-defense as he thought he and a friend were about to be stabbed. A statement by the US Marshals Service said the Portland Police Bureau issued an arrest warrant for Reinoehl on a murder charge, while on Thursday, September 3, members of the US Marshals Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force located him in an apartment in the Olympia suburb, Washington, where he was spotted leaving at around 7:30 pm, the Oregonian reports.

“You know, lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn't even be saying anything, but I feel it's important that the world at least gets a little bit of what's really going on,” Reinoehl said in the VICE interview. “I had no choice. I mean, I, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn't going to do that," he added.

As soon, as Trump congratulated the US Marshals, the internet users started slamming him. One user commented, "They’re coming for you next," while another one said, "Well, sorry hon, but you gotta go. I don't abide by delusional people in my timeline. Get ready to go work at a real job. #BLOCKED"



 



 

Some angry users commented, "59 Days.  & You’re FIRED. @POTUS America has had enough @realDonaldTrump HATRED to last a LIFETIME We The People are SO OVER You. They support racism in the Trump administration and that’s why they’ve got to go," and "But you thrive on lawlessness and disorder. #TrumpChaos. #TrumpDictatorship."



 



 

Another user said, "I know shooting a suspect is exciting but everyone's talking about your vets comments." 



 

"Trump wishes he was a tough guy. He thinks being strong means being a bully. He thinks people in our military are cowards and suckered. He is only praising US Marshalls because they serve his fearful purposes. I would love for the same Marshalls take him away," said another Internet user, criticizing the President.



 

While some supported him and said, "Thank you for being the Law and Order President, President Trump! Great job! Our beloved country can’t take much more damage inflicted by Democrats in power. Wake up, Dem run cities and states! You can stop the #BidenRiots!"
