Antifa and Blacks Lives Matter goons attacked a police building in Portland on Wednesday in yet another “abolish-the-police” riot, and they “protested” in Seattle after police killed a shooting suspect who fired on them first.
In Portland, the thugs tried to disrupt a contract negotiation between police and the city, journalist Andy Ngo reported. In Seattle, they demanded “justice” for a man who had just shot two people — one of whom died — and refused an order to put down his pistol.
Both “protests” are rotten fruit from the same diseased tree: the All-Cops-Are-Bastards narrative that demands police be “abolished.”
No Arrests
The leftist thugs staged the first ACAB attack late yesterday.
“A protest has developed near North Lombard Street and North Campbell Avenue, where participants have tried to break down the door [of] the Portland Police Association,” Portland Police tweeted at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday. “We are monitoring the situation.”
“Monitoring the situation” is about all that happened, even after cops warned the goons:
To those participating in the protest, this direction is being given over loudspeaker: stay on the sidewalk, do not try to break into the building or violate any other laws. If you do you’re subject to arrest and/or use of force including less lethal weapons.
That, apparently, didn’t scare the Antifa-ACAB rioters, who vandalized the building, police said.
“All protesters have left the neighborhood,” police announced two hours later:
There was some vandalism to the building, but no arrests were made, no force was used, and no one was injured. About 15 officers, 3 sergeants, and 1 lieutenant were pulled from patrol duties to respond to the event.
It was the second anti-law-enforcement march in two days. Overnight and into Wednesday morning, Ngo reported, the leftist storm troops shut down streets in a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“#antifa shut down the roads of downtown as they marched around for an anti-ICE event,” Ngo reported. “Police did not respond. Approved ‘press’ had to wear markings on their arm.”
Last week, citing a federal prosecutor, the Oregonian reported that Antifa goons have cost taxpayers $2.3 million in repairs to federal buildings.
Antifa has been waging war against police in Portland for months. They’ve also attacked Ngo.
Whether U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her impeachment managers think the leftists are “seditionists” and “insurrectionists,” terms they use to describe President Trump, is unknown.
Seattle Shooting and Protest
Ngo also provided footage of the ACAB chaos in Seattle, which clearly shows a murder, but not one that police committed.
Released by Seattle police, silent surveillance footage shows someone walking up to a car in a parking lot, and after shooting through the driver’s side window, pounding on the hood.
Audio from two 911 calls accompanies the video. During the first, a witness described the shooting. During the second, the victim frantically told the emergency dispatcher that she and her friend had been shot.
“We’re gonna die,” the woman pleaded. “Please come now. My friend is dying.”
After shooting the two in the car, one of whom died, the shooter left the parking lot and approached police. They ordered him to put down his weapon.
“Drop the gun. Put your hands up and drop the gun,” an officer told Taylor. “Drop the gun now!” an officer said.
Instead, the shooter pointed and fired at police, who cut him down in a hail of gunfire.
Reported Ngo, “Antifa and BLM activists in Seattle did not wait for the footage and immediately after the shooting, began accusing SPD of police brutality and even organized a march through Seattle for Wednesday night.”
An outfit calling itself the PNW Revolutionary Afro Collective accused the cops of murder.
“SPD has just murdered another Black person,” it tweeted. “People are gathering at the site of the shooting at Massachusetts & 23rd to mourn the life they’ve taken.”
Police didn’t “murder” anyone, but that didn’t stop the protest. And it won’t stop the ACAB narrative.
