https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-rio ... on-officesPORTLAND, Ore. — A fire inside a police union building led authorities in Portland, Oregon, to declare a riot and force protesters away from the offices as violent demonstrations continue in the city that had hoped for calm after federal agents withdrew more than a week ago.
A group of demonstrators broke into the Portland Police Association building, set the fire and were adding to it when officers made the riot declaration late Saturday, police tweeted. Video shot by a journalist shows smoke and flames arising from inside the building.

Lies! These are all peaceful protesters! Stop it Lexy! [Sarcasm font]
It was lovely too how there were actually police inside the station and they tried to block them in the building that they were setting on fire. Aren't they charming?
Why is this not all over the news?
Why are these imbeciles not arrested and locked away?
This is so incredibly ridiculous. I honestly can't believe what I'm seeing these last few months. And the gas lighting from the media, telling us that we aren't seeing what we're seeing with our own eyes. These state governments are actually SUPPORTING this insanity.

Portland has its own set of problems. It's so sad to hear what the news is reporting and what is really going on. I have family that lives in Portland. I hear all sorts of things from them. You couldn't pay me enough to live in or near Portland again. I am so glad that I got away from. I know many people who are trying to leave Portland now. They feel is only going to get worse.

And wheelers concern wasn't that they were literally trying to burn people alive, but that doing so might help Trump get re elected.Valentina327 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 9:27 am Lies! These are all peaceful protesters! Stop it Lexy! [Sarcasm font]
