(AmericanPoliticalDaily.com)- While the Democrats continue to pretend that the ongoing protests in American cities are peaceful, police officers are taking the heat. Extreme left-wing protestors and rioters set a Portland Police Department building on fire on Tuesday night, smashing windows in the process, and even assaulting several police officers.
The Oregon city has suffered violent left-wing protesters every single night for almost three months now, and local Democrats still haven’t condemned Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
The Portland Police Department released a statement explaining how a group of “several hundred people” marched together to the Multnomah Building, which is home to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
When they reached the building, police officers observed the group stopping traffic. They were fully equipped to fight with police officers and innocent bystanders and were seen wearing gas masks, helmets, and even carrying shields.
“Many of the group members began to vandalize the Multnomah Building with graffiti,” Portland PD added.
Then, at 10:15 p.m., some members of the group starting throwing flaming paper inside of the building in order to try and start a fire. When the attempts were proven futile, other members of the group started pouring and spraying lighter fluid inside of the building. More burning objects were then thrown inside the building, which started a fire big enough to set off the sprinkler system and sound the alarms.
It comes after months of nightly riots mostly focused on the city’s federal courthouse and police buildings.
Andy Ngo, a journalist known for his extensive coverage of Antifa violence, published video footage of the extremists throwing flaming objects into the building. He reported that there have now been more than 80 consecutive nights of violence in the city.

Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office also issued a statement about the attack on Twitter, describing how Portland Police declared the incident a riot after they smashed first-floor windows.

When will the Democrats denounce Antifa and Black Lives Matter, the two organizations most represented by these riots, as domestic terror organizations?
