Portland Police clashed with protesters on Friday night into early Saturday morning as demonstrators targeted cops, hurling chunks of concrete and explosives at officers in what the department described as an “extremely dangerous situation.”

Portland Police declared a riot early Saturday morning after a group of protesters flocked to the Penumbra Kelly Building. Police warned demonstrators to stay off the property, but many did not heed the warnings, prompting arrests. Demonstrators — some of whom donned helmets and shields and blocked traffic on East Burnside Street — began throwing rocks, and later pieces of concrete, at officer . . .

. . . As the officers dispersed the crowd, rocks, bottles, and explosives were continually launched at officers. Because of the danger posed by these projectiles, officers used crowd control munitions as they moved the group. Pool noodles (photo) were filled with nails by members of the group and placed on the roadway in an effort to damage police vehicle tires. One police vehicle suffered extensive tire damage. . . .

. . . Demonstrators have wreaked havoc on the city for over 70 days. During the August 6-7 protest, demonstrators threw paint on an elderly woman who was reportedly attempting to stop them . . .

Protesters reportedly threw rocks and chunks of concrete at Portland officers Friday night after authorities declared an unlawful assembly.

“Despite the public address announcements, the crowd continued to block traffic on East Burnside Street and several continued to trespass on the Kelly Building property,” the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) said in a news release Saturday. . . .

. . . As the crowd continued to refuse to disperse from the area of the Kelly Building, targeted arrests were made. A person who was taken into custody was arrested wearing ballistic body armor (photo). Around 12 a.m., a vehicle was stopped and an occupant was arrested for shining a laser at the PPB’s air unit.

On its Twitter page, the bureau said people in the crowd were “trying to blind officers” with the lasers . .

. . . Journalist Andy Ngô said Saturday that the rioters allegedly “lined the street w/nails & brawled w/cops using shields & body armor”: . . .

. . . Overnight on 7–8 Aug., hundreds of #antifa again attacked the Penumbra Kelly police building in SE Portland. They blinded officers w/lasers & threw rocks & explosives at them. They lined the street w/nails & brawled w/cops using shields & body armor. https://portlandoregon.gov/police/news/read.cfm?id=261079 . . .

I guess Portland must like having endless riots going on. Any normal city would have called the National Guard to get this mess shut down by now.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler declared Sunday it’s a “myth” that Antifa provocateurs are behind the ongoing violent protests in Portland, Oregon.

In a now-viral video posted on Twitter, writer-producer Austen Fletcher caught up with the House Judiciary Committee chairman on his way to his vehicle. . .

. . . “It is true,” Mr. Fletcher tells Mr. Nadler in the video. “There’s violence across the whole country. Do you disavow the violence from Antifa that’s happening in Portland right now? There’s riots—”

“That’s a myth that’s being spread only in Washington, D.C.,” Mr. Nadler responded. . . .
