About a half-hour to midnight on Saturday, a group broke into the Portland Police Association’s office and started a fire inside, police said

Nightly protests for racial justice have rocked the city of Portland for over two months since the killing of George Floyd on May 25 by Minneapolis police—with tensions flaring after President Trump sent in federal agents last month for several weeks to protect a federal courthouse.

This is so wrong. Our officers need protection. these 'peaceful protestors' are destroying our cities, attacking federal agents, burning buildings, shooting people, rioting, etc. We need law and order established NOW.

Lawlessness must be stopped at all costs

Of course the Portland mayor considers these criminal activities to be reasonable; once this mayor is arrest and charged with complicity, the situation can be rectified

These are criminals not protestors

Security camera footage should solve this crime...

'Peaceful' 'Once the Feds leave...' Biden's World

Well, technically this is a step forward wsj since you called them a 'Group' instead of protesters this time. I think we're making progress here. Maybe next time you'll call them rioters or something that more accurately describes their actions.

But “peaceful protests “.

I always trust everything labeled “police said.” Suckers...

Joe Biden campaign advisors.

A bunch of entitled snowflakes that need to get back to work or school. Grow up and have respect because you will need these ppl to help you in the future. Police lives matter too! They are human beings as well....

Those are just peaceful protest during the summer of love according to the Portland mayor and governor

Oh yeah, that mayor can control the city 🙄

'peacefull protestors' kkkkk only the fake news believe that.

Long live America righty, there is ALWAYS shit going on there, America has failed big time to adjust to the rest of the world

Portland officials need to get their act together.

These must be part of the peaceful protests the MSM has been celebrating for the past two months. So peaceful!

The mayor and MSM like yourselves all said the rioting was because of the Feds!! No whats your story?

Maybe it was the peaceful wall of mums 😆

What’s this accomplish?

But we’re they peaceful?

Why can’t the Portland Police arrest these right wing extremists

No knock raid?

Reporting this 24 hours later, after most go to sleep before starting another workweek. Hmmmmm

Time to use live ammunition to deter whoever is doing this.

“Mostly peaceful”

This has become meaningless mayhem w/ serious consequences. Angry guys find their clan & a strange happiness in destruction & confrontation. Therapy for them,I guess

The 3 Types of Physical GOLD, which one should you buy?

Regardless of political preference, these acts should be condemned and the responsibles put behind bars

a peaceful fire

show direct physical evidence it was not undercover cops, and or proud boys working on diaper rash's behalf who did that vandalism.

This ought to help them achieve their goal!

KatMcKinley Everything has limit . This act is crossing limit . Phrase ' excess anything is bad ' . Wishing Portland People will found a peace with Grace . It happened in Minnesota . Why is Portland Police .

Sounds like Portland all right. The all white town of confederate decended racist baizuos.

A group of protesters? How does anyone know they were protesting? Or does it just not matter anymore?

BLM are an extreme Marxist violent group formed to overthrow all systems of a civil society. Marxists/commies. Now associated groups with the same goal.

Forgot to mention the part in a 'peaceful protest' America sick of this bull shit throw them all in jail!

Horrible!!!

Twitter won't let me repost this. 🤪

This isn’t helping.

So why didn't the police keep protestors from breaking in to their office and starting a fire? Did they want a picture of the damage to cover their handling of this ongoing protest? What is the real skinny here?

'A group' of Joe Biden voters

stacynolanamato Hard-hitting journalism from the WSJ - only 24 hours after the crime - and just before Sunday midnight. Wow. Jaw-drop

that was wrong and not helpful to anyone in any way also you're missing bigger story

No justice? No peace.

'A group.' Were they Masons? The Kiwanis? A barbershop quartet? What?

Is it going to be like last time where they catch a white supremacist pretending to be Antifa?

ANTIFA* Say it !!!!

Yeah... or maybe it was the cops.

More “peaceful protesters” 🙄

Lmfao I guess they need the feds help after all lol

holy_schnitt was this Gina?

Whhooooo cares?

Non violently folks. MLK style.

Translation; Antifa the myth anarchists broke in and tried to burn down the establishment while being funded by Soro's and the Left!

Yeah, and you already know this will be the primary concern of our President, and all the MAGA heads on Facebook instead of you know, that virus that they ignored.

Social injustice protestors or Antifa?

But were they 'peaceful'?

Ironic that after the disruptions ceased when Trump's goons left, now there is a sudden uptick...

I thought they were only rioting because the feds were there. What's the current explanation?

...in Trumps America...even the police are not safe. /s

I thought the Portland protests were peaceful!

Portland Police declare a riot after people tried to start a fire at police officePortland Police said a peaceful demonstration turned into a riot on Saturday night after a group of people broke into a Portland Police Association office and tried to start a fire. But I thought you said the riots stopped after Federal Law Enforcement left . So it’s peaceful when they are attacking other but riots when it hits home It is always amusing when these whiners get arrested crying” why are you doing this?” Then the online warriors call the police the gestapo. The flames and destruction behind them. The police they want to defund are protecting the rioters from fed up citizens following laws.
