Portland Police Union Relocating After Being Repeatedly Targeted by Antifa

Contact Your Elected Officials

The police union in PortlandOregon announced this week that it is relocating its headquarters because of repeated attacks by rioters, including members of the far-left network Antifa.

The Portland Police Association enjoyed friendly relations with neighbors after transforming a building that had housed a card room that involved illegal drug use and late-night partying, Daryl Turner, the unionโ€™s executive director, said on Facebook.

โ€œThe neighbors welcomed us and were glad to have the police union and police cars there. The community supported us and dropped by to say hello. We opened a Rest Stop for officers, so they had a place to come have lunch, use the restroom, and write reports. Time and again we heard from folks that they felt safer in the neighborhood and were thankful to have things cleaned up,โ€ he said.

But after protests and riots started in the summer of 2020โ€”things have died down, but unrest continues to happen regularlyโ€”the building became a key focal point, being repeatedly set on fire and vandalized.

โ€œAs the rioting escalated at our location, we felt that the community was more and more at risk. At the most recent arson incident, a neighbor stood on the sidewalk with a water hose trying to put the fire out just before first responders arrived. It went too far and it was time to find another location,โ€ Turner said.

โ€œWe have since moved out and relocated. The Lombard building will be repaired and, at a later date, put on the market to sell.โ€

Turner thanked the community in North Portland, especially the business owners who are located adjacent to the building.

โ€œWe appreciate their support and patience over the last year. We thank them for their tolerance. And we hope that with our relocation, they can have some peace,โ€ he said.

Included in the post was a photograph showing graffiti left by vandals. They wrote โ€œcops=murderersโ€ and โ€œrot fascist pigsโ€ among other far-left slogans.

Antifa, a far-left, anarcho-communist network, is most active in the United States in the Pacific Northwest.
