Police said protesters remained peaceful in downtown Portland for about four hours Sunday night before they began blocking streets and lighting fires.
According to police, demonstrators gathered near Chapman Square and Lownsdale Square, near Southwest 3rd Avenue and Southwest Main Street, at around 6 p.m. For four hours, the group socialized, ate food, banged drums, and listened to speeches.
However, at around 10 p.m., police said the group began blocking traffic in the area and lit a bonfire in the troughs at the base of where the elk statue used to stand. Video below:

The group propped wood against the federal courthouse and lit it on fire, police said.

As Portland Fire and Rescue approached to put out the fire, someone fired a ball bearing from a wrist rocket at the firefighters.

But what the police or the federal authorities didnt mention is the fact that the feds and the local police officers stayed inside for most of the night after city council members Jo Ann Hardesty and Commissioner Eudaly gave statements demanding police stop responding.

Also, lets not forget Portlands mayor restrictions, following yesterdays violence at the antifa/BLM riot, the Portland mayor called for federal law enforcement to follow the same restrictions he placed on:

Andy Ngo who was on the field once again reported about the lack of federal authorities and local police officers:

The police finally decided to react and made a statement this morning:

All the governor needs to do is send a quick request to the CIC...
Portland LOL!
Elections have consequences.
Mostly peaceful......
This all began back in 2007 and was part of an organized effort to get Obama elected.
Funded by NBA players in Portland.
The only way for this to be resolved is for voters in Portland to vote out the Communists.
Highly unlikely.
We are at Mad Max and rapidly approacing Lord of the Flies.
These are not protests, they are riots and terroism and need to be addressed as such
We only need to build a wall around the Portland metro area. Most of the rest of the state is sane.
Are they social distancing?
James Bond type stuff lol
No
the most reasonable solution would be to go in and clean them out like a nest of rats.
Never harbor this sort of evil.
The city is inviting terrorists on federal facilities...
Then it should be open season on City Council members.
I’m more concerned why the City Council members aren’t being hunted down by regular people.
‘Hell is empty. And all the devils are here.’
Maybe but every riot increases t the great chance of re election
An army of lawyers suing the Mayor and City Council Members for the rest of their lives would be a good start.
