Antifa rioters reportedly stormed a residential neighborhood on Friday night where they attacked the Portland Police Department officers as the city continues to grapple with extremist violence.
“As the group marched, several support vehicles followed, blocking vehicular traffic. The lead marchers held heavy wooden shields. Many in the crowd were wearing helmets, gas masks, and other protective gear,” the police department said, estimating that there were a couple hundred people that showed up. “Police learned that the march was likely proceeding to the offices of the Portland Police Association (PPA) in the 1800 Block of North Lombard Street. During multiple previous demonstrations, individuals broke into the PPA office and lit arson fires, in addition to committing burglary, theft, and vandalism.”
