Portland’s mayor claimed the unrest that’s plagued the city since May will “burn itself out,” in remarks published just hours before rioters set fire to the police union building and attacked police officers.

“I believe this will ultimately burn itself out,” Ted Wheeler, a Democrat who serves as the city’s mayor and police commissioner, told Oregon Public Broadcasting (OBP).
