Rioters attacked the Portland Police Department's East Precinct on Wednesday night, which is in a residential area, and reportedly tried to run over police officers while fleeing the scene after attempting to set the building on fire.
Late at night a group of a few hundred people blocked traffic, shined green lasers at police officers, attempted to tear down protective boarding on the building, and worked to disable surveillance cameras in an attempt to conceal their criminal activity.
A member in the group was seen attempting to tear the surveillance camera off of the front doors of the East Precinct. Other people in the group began spray painting the camera as well as the front doors of the precinct. Lots of members of the group were seen wearing helmets and carrying shields.
"Several people in the group began to ram a large 2 by 4 piece of wood in to the front glass doors in an effort to shatter them," the Portland Police Department said in a statement. "Other members of the group slammed different heavy large objects into the glass doors as well. The objects included large rocks."
"By 9:50 p.m., those who had been destructing the East Precinct glass doors successfully cracked them, causing significant damage," the department continued. "Since serious ongoing criminal behavior continued, a riot was declared at 9:56 p.m. At 10 p.m., the front doors of East Precinct were barricaded and a fire was started using plywood and an accelerant."
When officers moved to disperse the rioters they "were hit with projectiles and commercial grade fireworks," the department said. "Because of life safety issues created by members in the group, CS gas and crowd control munitions were used. While dispersing efforts continued, a truck associated with the group attempted to run over several officers."
Portland police said that officers were pelted with large rocks that were the size of shot puts and they had to repel attacks from the violent rioters two more times over the following two hours.
Journalist Andy Ngo, who testified this week to the U.S. Senate as an expert on Antifa, tweeted out videos of the attacks on the police station. ...
