A look back and memories of liberals in 2020.  They haven't changed at all. 

 

The police union building in Portland, Oregon, was set on fire Saturday night, leading police to declare a riot and order the area cleared. Federal authorities left the city at the end of July after weeks of violent clashes between them and protesters.

Three officers were injured when police tried to disperse the crowd, Portland police said.

A group lit a fire at the Portland Police Association (PPA) building. According to The Oregonian, it's the second time a fire has been lit at the police union building, a regular site of protests since they began in late May.

According to police, the group was warned around 10:30 p.m. to "not engage in criminal activities" and disperse. "People within the crowd committed crimes when they erected a fence, pushed dumpsters into the street to block traffic, set a dumpster on fire, vandalized the PPA office with spray paint, and destroyed security cameras," police said in a release.

• A large crowd in Washington chanted outside the White House, prompting the Secret Service to temporarily lock down the building. Video on social media showed demonstrators knocking down barricades and spray-painting other buildings.

According to Wiki there were 970+ arrests for the riots which contradicts what some have said here in the past, that no one was arrested for taking part in the looting, arson, destruction of property, etc.

It proves the violent nature of you liberals. Now do how many were bailed out by the kameltoe gofundme account. Spending a night in jail for starting fires in businesses? Oh no.
