Video - Portland Rioters Set Police Union Building On Fire

Leftists in Portland, Oregon have basically spent the entire summer rioting.

It's hard to fathom waking up everyday in a community where a riot took place the previous night but that's the "new normal" in Portlandia.

Anthony Leonardi reports:

Police in Portland, Oregon, declared another riot after local and state officials requested federal officers withdraw from the state.
On Saturday, a mass gathering of protesters devolved into violence, with demonstrators later in the night blocking traffic with dumpsters, setting dumpsters on fire, and vandalizing the Portland Police Association building. A group of people later broke a window into the PPA office and ignited a fire in the building.
"Officers from the Oregon State Police and PPB arrived in the area to disperse the crowd. They were met with a hostile crowd who began throwing glass bottles and paint balloons at them," the police said in a statement. "The hostile crowd also tried to injure officers by shining green lasers into their eyes, which is a crime in Oregon. Three officers suffered injuries. Two were transported to an area hospital by police vehicle and later released. Personnel from Portland Fire and Rescue were able to gain access to the location and extinguish the fire inside the PPA Office."
The police described the situation as "terribly dangerous," but fire and rescue personnel were able to gain access to the building after officers dispersed the crowd to extinguish the flames. Police made several arrests in connection with criminal activity that occurred but did not disclose details.
