A rioter in the recently designated “anarchist jurisdiction” of Portland allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at police officers on Wednesday night, striking one officer as riots broke out across the United States.
The Portland Police Bureau reported that approximately 75 people gathered on the Central Precinct side of the Justice Center and “began throwing softball sized rocks towards Central Precinct which shattered the glass windows above the entry doors,” the department said in a statement. “The group continued to throw rocks through the windows which continued to shatter glass in the entryway of Central Precinct making it difficult for officers to safely exit the precinct due to the glass falling and the glass that covered the entryway floor. Once the window was broken, group members used slingshots to launch projectiles at a high velocity through the broken glass windows of Central Precinct. Some members of the group attempted to break into the front doors of the Central Precinct lobby.”
The department said that the group’s “criminal behavior” continued after a riot had been declared and they had been ordered to vacate the area.
“Officers began to disperse the crowd outside of Central Precinct again and a Molotov cocktail was thrown towards officers striking one in the foot,” the statement continued. “A Portland Fire Medic was nearby and able to extinguish the flames. Had this incendiary not been stopped immediately, it could have caused serious physical injury to the officer. A second Molotov cocktail was thrown towards officers near Southwest 3rd Avenue and Southwest Main Street, and a third Molotov cocktail was thrown at officers near Southwest Broadway and Southwest Main Street. As the crowd was dispersed they aggressively threw rocks at officers and other projectiles.”
