A group of BLM/Antifa thugs broke into the Portland Police Association building and set it on fire.
Several hundred people had gathered outside the offices and set up barricades to block the street while also setting a dumpster on fire.
The Oregonian newspaper reports:
At the same time police declared a riot, police said they were closing a wide swath of streets surrounding the union building. Officers cited an emergency clause in city code, the same exemption used to close streets Thursday outside the East Precinct in Southeast Portland.
...Protesters also threw objects toward officers.
Portland police later issued a statement to say that some of the objects were balloons filled with paint. Police also said that three officers were injured, including two who were transported to a hospital and released soon after. Police did not describe the nature of any of the officers’ injuries. However, an Oregonian/OregonLive journalist saw one officer limping away from the crowd while getting assistance from other officers...
An officer announced that the area had been closed, citing the fire in the police union building and objects such as bottles and rocks thrown at police.
More of the same last night as police officers were once again attacked
