Portland Police: Protesters Tried to Burn Down Precinct with Officers Inside While Setting Up Autonomous Zone
2:45
Chaos erupted in Portland, Oregon, early Friday morning as demonstrators took to the streets in a demonstration that turned violent, hallmarked by looting, vandalism, and arson.
Tensions were high in Portland as demonstrators gathered for a protest marking the one-month anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Activists reportedly attempted to construct their own “autonomous” zone, as authorities declared an unlawful assembly. The protest descended into the streets, dominated by arson, looting, and mass vandalism. The Portland Police Bureau’s North Precinct faced the brunt of the wrath, with Portland Police confirming that protesters set the North Precinct, and surrounding structures, ablaze. Rioters also looted a least one business and vandalized others.
Protesters dispersed early Friday morning, according to Portland Police, which added that “arrests have been made” and confirmed “non-life-threatening” injuries in relation to the riots:

KOIN reported:
According to police, the north side of the North Precinct was set ablaze around 2:15 a.m. In response, officers used CS gas to disperse the crowd — a few canisters of which were thrown back at police by some protesters. Earlier in the night, demonstrators reportedly attempted to create an autonomous zone outside the precinct before an unlawful assembly was declared.Police say several businesses were looted overnight after windows were smashed and more fires were set. Although it is not confirmed which business was looted, Top to Bottom on NE MLK Boulevard had restoration crews out early Friday morning installing new windows and clearing debris. A nearby bank is believed to have been vandalized as well.
Further down MLK at NE Jarrett, we found the looted business. Crews are cleaning up the shattered glass and starting to board up windows. Police say it was the work of protesters in NE Portland overnight #LiveOnK2 pic.twitter.com/DitlXEj4Ja— Dan McCarthy (@DanMcKATU) June 26, 2020
Videos posted by journalist Andy Ngo show rioters vandalizing property, setting fires, and appearing to spray paint a security camera outside of the North Precinct. Ngo also reported that members of Antifa were attempting to steal barriers to create their own “autonomous” zone:

Antifa rioters have brought barricades & stolen property to build walls outside Portland Police North Precinct. They're occupying the space & trying to recreate another autonomous zone like the one they did outside Ted Wheeler's condo. A separate mob is demonstrating downtown.— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) June 26, 2020
Antifa rioters are using cars to fortify barriers around their new "autonomous zone" by the @PortlandPolice North Precinct. They've also established a "quiet strip" for comrades to sleep. pic.twitter.com/Q3fSvdWnhJ— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) June 26, 2020
Police officers are about a block away from the antifa occupied area at the Portland Police North Precinct. Many rioters have brought out their shields & are wearing protective gear. They've set up "mutual aid" tables like in CHAZ where one can get water + other supplies.— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) June 26, 2020

KATUNews’s Dan McCarthy confirmed that four arrests were made. Police also say that protesters were trying to barricade officers in the building and burn it down:
Police also said that protesters were trying to put up fencing between the North precinct and the Boys and Girls Club. Police say they administered tear gas after mortars and paintball rounds were fired towards them.

Last week, protesters in Portland toppled a statue of George Washington, the nation’s first president, and draped it in a burning American flag:
Another flag burning, this time on George Washington’s back. #Portlandprotest #statue #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #pdx #georgewashington #flagburning#StatuesMustFall pic.twitter.com/diSjnwO3IO— Garrison Davis (Teargas Proof) (@hungrybowtie) June 19, 2020
Vandals wrote “Murder,” “Fuck Cops,” “BLM,” “White Fragility,” and “You’re on Native Land” on the statue and its base.
The demonstrations come as civil unrest continues to dominate the streets in several U.S. cities, as protesters topple statues in the name justice.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE DEMOCRAT PART’S SURRENDER OF OUR JOBS
AND BORDERS TO MEXICO IMPACT BLACK AMERICA?
CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT BARACK OBAMA DID FOR BLACK AMERICA EVEN AS
HE FUNDED LA RAZA ‘The Race’ AND OPERATED THIS MEX FASCIST PARTY FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE?
Levin: BLM’s
‘Marxist, Anarchist Movement…Is a Piece of the Base of the Democratic Party
Now’
Mark Levin
When politicians support the
Black Lives Matter organization, “They are embracing a Marxist, anarchist
organization that is extremely well-funded, heavily-funded and extremely
well-organized all over the country,” conservative commentator Mark Levin says.
“It’s almost like the Weather
Underground except, smartly, they’re using race as the issue through which to
push their Marxism,” because Marxists advocate using any means necessary to
achieve success, Levin said in a Tuesday interview with BlazeTV.
Levin commented on video of Black
Lives Matter Co-founder Patrisse Cullors saying the organization’s leaders are
“trained Marxists” who want to remove President Donald Trump from office.
“So, it’s a Marxist, anarchist
movement that has as its goal to overthrow the country and to get Trump out.
Think about that,” Levin said.
What’s more, liberal politicians
aren’t denouncing the anarchist movement because “This is a piece of the base
of the Democratic Party, now,” Levin said.
Black Lives Matter: Democrats Can’t Live With Them, and Can’t
Live Without Them
The
folks at Black Lives Matter are really worried about black deaths. Not most
black deaths, not even very many black deaths, mind you, but only that tiny
fraction of a percent of blacks who have died at the hands of (presumably)
white cops. Those are the only deaths that boil the blood of the folks at
Black Lives Matter and spark the riotous mobs that loot and burn our
Democrat-run cities.
Why
Democrat cities? Because in 2015, Black Lives Matter activists tested
Democrats’ resolve and found none. At a Netroots Nation Conference in Phoenix
on July 18, presidential candidate Martin O’Malley uttered the unforgiveable words: “Black
lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter.” Shouted off the stage, he
was heard by a Guardian reporter muttering to himself: “Black lives matter,
black lives matter, black lives matter.” At a Bernie Sanders event in Seattle on August 8, activists
took over the stage. Sanders waved goodbye and rescheduled the event. From that
point forward, the moral authority of Black Lives Matter would remain
unchallenged by any Democrat politician.
“Black
lives matter” sounds good, but it provides cover for a lot of bad behavior.
It’s like the tuxedo that enables a thug to work his way into your party. If
you’re a Democrat mayor and you notice the well-dressed thug robbing your
guests, you might say "Here, take my watch and go away and I won't call
the cops." He’ll happily take your watch, but he'll also grab your rings
and your billfold, and then he’ll demand "Where's the safe?" and
you’ll tell him and give him the combination too, right after he breaks your
Ming Dynasty vase and tears up your Picasso. Finally, he'll set fire to your
house, because he despises you for your presumption in thinking that you could
negotiate how much loot he should take.
There's
nothing you can say or do anymore. You applauded him when he burned Ferguson
and Baltimore, and you made excuses for him when he screamed: "What do we
want? Dead cops. When do we want them? Now!" He owns you and you know it.
You can’t criticize him. Best to take a knee and mutter vague homilies about
racial injustice.
Your
buddies in the newspapers and television can't help you either. They championed
the thugs every step of the way. All they can do now is report that your home
is "mostly standing" and that your thug was “mostly peaceable.”
The
leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement want political power. They’ve
already acquired quite a lot of it thanks to their violent groupies, but power
is addictive and they may want even more. Right now, their knee is on the
Democrat throat. They can do whatever they want.
For
their nominal political pals in the Democrat party, these are the worst of
times. They’ve got a tiger by the tail, and they know it. Their political
survival depends upon getting an overwhelming majority of the black vote, and
if that majority should shrink to 85 percent or so, they’re politically dead.
Black Lives Matter, or revulsion to it, could make that happen.
Black
Lives Matter brings in a lot of money for the Democrats. Corporations are
donating millions of dollars to the cause (just as they paid tribute to Jessie
Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition years ago) and BLM sends much of it to the leftwing
political action committee ActBlue. Democrats love the cash and so are loath to
say a discouraging word about the mayhem.
But
if the riots continue and bleed into November, Democrats will probably lose
anyway. They surely wish that Black Lives Matter would just quiet things
down, but they mustn’t say so. For now, all they can do is wear a happy
face and some Kente cloth and talk about police reforms.
What
Democrats really need is somebody who’s tougher than the rioters and who has
the resolve to stop them. But he's running against them in November
BLM at War with America
Outrageously,
cowardly and traitorous politicians are allowing Black Lives Matter, a racist
hate group to engage in an “Everything Must Go” fire-sale against America. BLM is literally
pulling down monuments and demanding that large portions of our history be
removed from the records. They are burning down homes which dare fly the U.S.
flag. They are taking control of portions of cities, absurdly claiming it as
their new country. Why is BLM behaving like spoiled-brat bullies on America's
playground? The answer: Because they are allowed to do it.
My
stomach turned watching Tucker Carlson on Fox News cite a Rasmussen poll which
says Black Lives Matter has 62% popularity, more than President
Trump. I remembered a bit of wisdom my brother gave me years ago. He
said whenever something shocking happens, before you respond, stabilize your
emotions. Despite the depressing poll, over a million people sought tickets to
attend Trump's rally in Tulsa. Also, a Rasmussen poll says 40%
of likely black voters approve of Trump's job performance.
Fake
news media is so despicable and obviously agenda driven. Here's a NYT headline,
“Trump's Rally in Tulsa Could Spread Virus.” Meanwhile, the NYT and the rest of
fake news media are encouraging anarchists to flood our streets with protesters
with zero concern about spreading the virus.
What
is so frustrating is that BLM is an extreme racist and anti-American hate
group. Years ago, BLM declared war on cops and white people. They marched
down a NY street chanting, “What do we want? Dead
cops! When do we want it? Now!”
Folks,
how can any American in their right mind support these haters, paid to
assassinate cops and whites and destroy our country? Long before the George
Floyd incident, BLM was paid $150 million by George Soros and various
anti-American liberal corporations and foundations.
“Accessory
before the fact” is a legal term referring to a person who incites or assists
someone to commit a crime. BLM is physically destroying businesses, assaulting,
and murdering people. Can victims of BLM file lawsuits against major
corporations who are eagerly donating millions to the domestic terrorist hate
group?
Given
that blacks are only 13% of the population, Christians and decent whites had to
play major roles in ending slavery and empowering blacks. And yet, leftists'
get away with pretending that every achievement made by blacks throughout
American history was made despite white America.
Historian David Barton has done tremendous research exposing how
Christian whites and blacks fought side-by-side to liberate black
Americans.
Leftists
do not give a rat's derriere about black empowerment or black lives. They view
blacks as useful idiots towards transforming America into their
socialist/communist utopia in which anything goes sexually.
A
huge elephant in the room is how long will the white majority tolerate being
repeatedly poked in the eye with a hot poker of racial hate by BLM; demanded to
kneel in worship to blacks? While claiming to be against racial hate, leftists
are intentionally generating such hate. They believe voters will blame Trump
and vote against him in November.
Evidence
that leftists are lying about America being eternally racist is everywhere for
anyone willing to see it. Eager to heal our nation from the wounds of slavery
and racial discrimination, white America excitedly allowed a black man to
bypass the usual vetting process for a presidential candidate. They gifted
Obama two terms in the White House. Naive whites believed electing a black
president would usher in a new era in which they could never be called “racist”
again. Democrats and fake news media used Obama's skin-color as a bludgeon to
beat Republicans into submission, giving Obama free rein to implement their
agenda to transform America into a socialist nation.
Here's
another example of the good-hearted nature and generosity of the American
people. Fake news media and Democrats promoted the lie that Republicans and
white America did not care about the victims of hurricane Katrina because they
were mostly black. The truth is U.S. donors opened their hearts, giving $4.2
billion to victims of Katrina which is believed to be the highest amount ever.
Formerly
of the CIA, Buck Sexton has been ranting in his articles and tweets that we
need to rally around the concept of “wartime conservatism.” Buck says the left
is kicking our butts. He also called out conservative billionaires. Why aren't
they purchasing media platforms and funding our cause?
The GOP is asking people to donate at https://takethehouse.com/, which is a good thing. However, everywhere I turn, I see people afraid, angry and frustrated because they feel like the GOP is doing nothing to push back against ANTIFA and BLM running wild in our streets.

I
would love for the Tea Party buses to roll again. Frankly, thus far, the
funding is simply not there. Yes, I have been contacted by concerned Americans
who are eager to donate. However, a tour needs a major donor to get the ball
rounding.
While
we struggle to find funding for a bus tour to inspire and encourage Trump's
base, BLM has a war-chest of mega-millions to destroy America and block Trump's
reelection. There is something terribly wrong with this picture.
Another
thing causing my head to explode is all of the pandering to BLM, an evil and
demonic hate group. In compliance to BLM, pastors are telling their white
congregations to own up to their white privilege. My response is, “Stop it!
Stop falling for leftists' bogus guilt-trip.”
For
crying out loud! America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for
all who choose to purse their dreams. Anything else is a lie!
