Portland Riots: Commissioner’s House Vandalized After He Voted Against Defunding Police; City Hall Hit With Arson Attack
Dozens of left-wing protesters vandalized a Portland commissioner’s home after he voted against a measure that would defund part of the Portland Police Bureau’s budget. . .
Portland City Commissioner Dan Ryan had voted against a measure earlier that day that would have redirected $18 million from the police budget to other programs supporting social causes.
Portland Unified Command said that the group marched to Ryan’s home, broke a window and tossed “burning flares and paint filled balloons” at the house. Video on social media captured the protesters chanting “Black Lives Matter!” and “F**k you Dan Ryan!!” during the protest. . .

Today, white leaders had a chance to hold police accountable for crimes against BIPOC & our allies in #Portland.
Instead, @tedwheeler , Dan Ryan, & @AmandaFritzRN said they want to spend more money on “research” instead of accountability.
This is what white supremacy looks like— DirectActionAlliance (@DirectActionPDX) November 5, 2020
Those responsible must be found, investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I condemn anyone who uses violence to attempt to silence the voices of others.
