The Portland Police Association building was set on fire as unrest in that city continued to escalate, according to Portland police and a video posted on social media.
The blaze came as Portland and Oregon leaders heightened their rhetoric against President Donald Trump for deploying federal agents to the streets of that city. The Oregon Department of Justice is suing federal agencies alleging theyre detaining people without probable cause.
Protesters gathered in both downtown Portland and on Portlands east side near the North Precinct building, Portland Police said on Saturday.
At around 10 p.m., police said people gathered about the building and interfered with operations of the police facility.
By 11 p.m. Portland Police declared a riot, reporting that people had broken into the Portland Police Association office, lighting it on fire. It was put out shortly thereafter.

The Police responded swiftly:

They took charge at the Antifa rioters and it looked like that this could be the end of the Antifa riots.

They are going to destroy their city. Businesses will flee the cities and with them the tax base. The power of the cities diminish.
I cant even say what needs to happen, but the treacherous teachers who teach at our universities. They and their support systems need dismantling
It was obvious that the left was going to brand Trump fascist for his response to the violence.
And when the rioters provoke an armed response, they will call Trump hitler.
Thats a very optimistic take on this. Two ways to go....restore order by means of law enforcement, or by acceding to the desires of the mob. Portlandia prefers the latter.
“They and their support systems need dismantling..”
Dismantled...limb by limb.
I saw three police charges in the videos.
The police line was thin. It should be five times that size.
Billy clubs were carried, I didnt see any heads being bashed in. They need training from Daleys 1968 police.
I find it very interesting that this happened after federal officers started snatching Marxist leaders off the streets and Wheeler responded by calling out President Trump.
Ive been wondering if police chiefs would eventually get fed up with Marxist mayors enabling this insurrection / rebellion and start taking control on their own. Its a shame more Chiefs of Police are not doing that.
Chiefs are more political than their mayors. How u think they got the job?
But the rioters will be called dead.
I keep praying one police chief would tell a radical communist mayor No, we are going to enforce the law.
I keep praying Republicans in Congress will stand up for freedom and liberty and loudly proclaim such.
Alas, these are pipe dreams.
When real police show up, let me know. Until then Portland can burn to the ground for all I care. Good riddance .
Trump should attribute all the uncontrolled violence on the Dems that run these cities. His sending Fed agencies in there allows the Dems to create the false narrative which the media will promote that it is Trump and the Feds who cannot control the violence and have exacerbated the problem. He might consider pulling the Feds out and send the message 24/7 that this is a Dem problem who are allowing this violence to continue unabated by supporting it and refusing to confront it.
We'll see if the local judiciary lets them out "no cash bail" and/or drops all charges - as they've been doing across the country...

OREGON PING
Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
Yeah, something similar happened in Seattle. Mayor got serious when the “protestors” showed up at her residence. All of a sudden, “we need to clear out the CHOP”.
Of Chi-Com Covid.
I now think they’re trying to start their ‘revolution’ in Portland. If the country doesn’t want to be ruled by these Castro-type Leftists, the people better start responding.
