Early Friday morning, hundreds of Antifa attacked police and the North Precinct in Portland. They tried to set up another autonomous zone around the precinct with fencing and dumpsters, tried to lock police in the precinct and light it on fire, and pelted the police outside with objects like glass bottles.
Antifa rioters in north Portland are throwing things into their street fire to make it grow bigger. @PortlandPolice stand back and watch from a distance. Rioters have a huge banner that reads, “Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground.” pic.twitter.com/khHrL0gfBj

They also spray painted all kinds of disgusting things on the precinct including “the only good cop is a dead one” as well as looted and damaged businesses in the area.
Antifa militants occupied an attempted “autonomous zone” around the @PortlandPolice North Precinct last night. They barricaded off the area with stolen property. They sprayed extremist messages on the building calling for police to be murdered. #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/WqCMlJwjCB

From Oregon Live:
Chief Chuck Lovell called the actions “not only reprehensible, but they’re evil, ‘’ emphasizing that people were inside the precinct when vandals blocked side doors by nailing wooden beams across them, and then pushed a dumpster, from which flames were shooting out, along the west side of the building.
Other Black leaders in the community called the criminal activity the work of “terrorists,‘’ “delinquents,‘’ and the “act of a coward.‘’ They blasted those responsible for undermining the Black Lives Movement and causing damage to Black-owned businesses in an area where the Black community has struggled to maintain its historical hold. Mayor Ted Wheeler called the destruction “a horrible, horrendous miscalculation.‘’
Sounds like finally the community may be stepping up and may have had enough of them and that attitude might finally allow the police to do their job.
But Antifa was at it again Friday night, targeting the Central Precinct this time.
Except this time, police didn’t let it go as far as the night before. This time, when the radicals tried to set up barricades outside the precinct, the police weren’t having it.
I think it’s plain to see the Portland Police have had enough of these characters. They rushed them and the Antifa kids were so taken aback they fell all over themselves trying to get away.
.@PortlandPolice rushed in after #antifa rioters began trying to barricade the Central Precinct (they did that last night to North Precinct & set it in fire). Police knock rioters to the ground, angering their comrades. #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/NEdF2elcry

Notice how they’re so offended that police dare to respond, how dare the police stop them from breaking the law! Imagine saying “what’s wrong with you” after her buddies tried to set a police precinct on fire after trying to barricade them inside.
But not only did Antifa fail, they got a message that their nonsense wasn’t going to be allowed. More of this, please!
