Red Goons Attack Portland Police for Third Night. Fires Set, Officer’s Home Threatened

Red brigades in Portland attacked police again last night in a return to the North Precinct station house that the deranged bloodthirsty goons attacked on Friday.

Police arrested 24 of the violent thugs after a battle that included arson, launching rocks and other projectiles, and laser targeting, and an attempt to get an officer killed by doxing him.

The black-bloc, All-Cops-Are-Bastards army attacked a different police station on Saturday.

Cops jailed 47 ACAB revolutionaries for three nights.

Attack From the North
The Reds assembled and began marching from Woodlawn Park, about a mile northeast of their target, the North Precinct Community Policing Center, at 9:41 p.m., Portland Police reported.

Once again, the so-called marchers were not there to give speeches or stage a 1960s-style love-in. They were there for murder and mayhem.

“Most of the crowd, estimated at more than 200 people, wore armor, helmets, gas masks, all-black clothing and carried shields,” police reported.

After police blocked traffic on streets near the precinct, the Reds set fire to a dumpster and pushed it into the blocked street, then rolled a flatbed trailer into the street and flipped it on its side to use as a shield. They used the burning dumpster as a shield to move closer to the station.

Then they attacked, police reported:

Almost immediately, from behind the shields and elsewhere, individuals began throwing chunks of ceramic, rocks, and glass bottles in the direction of the officers. Green lasers, which are capable of causing permanent eye damage, were shined at officers. At least one balloon filled with feces was thrown at officers on the roof of the building.

Cops ordered the attackers to disperse and threatened to retaliate with tear gas and impact weapons.

“Officers stayed far back for the next half hour, giving participants ample time to leave voluntarily,” police reported, but “few took advantage of that opportunity.”

And so the attack continued:

A commercial grade firework was thrown. The police vehicles were struck by thrown bottles, paint bombs, rocks, and heavy metal screws. Marbles were launched by at least one wrist rocket style slingshot. Officers on the roof of the building were struck by rocks. Paint bombs were thrown. Signs were torn from the ground and thrown.

Police declared a riot at 11:08 and again warned the violent mob to move out.

“As officers were preparing to move the crowd, someone lit a canopy against the building on fire,” police reported:

The fire began to burn to the siding of the building, so officers on the roof got a fire extinguisher to try and put it out. As they were putting out the fire, multiple people pelted the officers with rocks. A lieutenant was struck with a chunk of ceramic, causing a cut to his hand. A second awning was also lit on fire close to a tree. That caused damage before it was extinguished.

Police hit the attackers, some of whom, as before, wore “press” markings and threw fireworks — with CS and crowd-control munitions.

The thugs attempted to abduct a security guard but freed him, and one hit a police sergeant in the head with a helmet.

One or more of the goons spray-painted a security camera, police reported, and they also tried to get an officer killed with a low-tech doxing. His home address, police reported, was “scrawled on the side of the building.”

The battle ended at about 1:30 a.m. Police posted a 29-second video to YouTube that depicts the aftermath.

Three of the ACAB Reds face riot and assault charges. Most will answer for disorderly conduct and interfering with a police officer.

Thirty-five cops pulled from duties elsewhere in the city fought the marauders.

Friday and Saturday
The late-night mayhem in the liberal utopia began Friday when the ACAB army attacked the same station and attempted to run over the cops in a vehicle. Police arrested nine people.

Saturday’s attack on a different law-enforcement building, which ended in 14 arrests, featured the same violence and laser tagging, but the thugs threatened totalitarian violence should they seize control of the city.

They rolled a mock guillotine into the street, a warning of the mass murder to come if the Reds prevail.

That threat is nothing new. Staff members who toiled for the presidential campaign of socialist Bernie Sanders threatened mass murder and concentration camps for those who opposed them if he won, and riots and burning cities if he lost.

Sunday was Day 88 of the riots, Breitbart reported.
