As always when police accidentally harm or kill a black man — whether he’s fighting officers, has weapons and drugs on him, flees, or otherwise escalates a situation — leftists take to the streets to demand justice. Justice for their bank accounts, living rooms, and cars as they loot businesses, that is. But to be fair, Antifa and BLM don’t just storm our communities to steal from hardworking men and women who create jobs and serve the communities. They also destroy a lot of stuff too, as one church in Portland discovered.

The First Covenant Church says it was founded by a “group of gospel-minded immigrants. These sisters and brothers gave themselves to the work of the gospel, and built a church for the generations.”

“First Covenant Portland is a historic church in the Evangelical Covenant Church. For 135 years and counting, our community has been planted in Portland to love this city and her people,” the church website says. “Today, we carry that legacy forward. We are: A small church that loves generously. A historic church with deep roots. A neighborhood church serving our city.” It sounds like a nice place full of God-fearing Christians. Naturally, BLM has chosen to target these Christians for some reason as they continue to tear Portland apart.

As you may have notice in the above videos, the church’s windows were busted out and fires were set outside using recycling that residents in the area had just put out for collection.

This church did nothing to these terrorists. The people in the neighborhood also did nothing. But “protesters” have been rampaging through communities looting, beating reporters bloody and (again, in Portland) setting buildings on fire with people inside.

The Left doesn’t care about justice — only destruction of the American way of life. When leftists see a nice community like this, they can’t help but want to destroy it.

“Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground!” the mob of Antifa and BLM “protesters” chanted in Portland on Satuday. Sadly, this is a typical night in the liberal city which, like many others, has chosen to allow race rioters and anarchists to run amok while at the same time condemning peaceful conservatives who trespassed in a building on January 6.

On Saturday, as normally happens, the protest turned violent with more than 100 black bloc Antifa and BLM rioters surrounding the city’s ICE building. They proceeded to cover it with graffiti, cover security cameras, and barricade the front door, trapping law enforcement and others inside.

But the worst was yet to come. Next, they began shooting Roman Candles at the building.

The building caught on fire with people still trapped inside by the “peaceful protesters'” barricades.

Journalist Andy Ngo posted video showing people trying to escape, but their escape was prevented by the barricades.

“An #antifa gives the #BLM fist salute while the crowd cheers on the burning of the @ICEgov Portland facility last night,” Ngo tweeted. “Officers were trapped inside when antifa set the building on fire.”

Fortunately, law enforcement was able to escape out the back of the building. All the while, Antifa and BLM chanted “Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground!”

Law enforcement was forced to respond with pepper balls and other crowd control tools. Despite this, Antifa still wanted to fight.

What is going on in Portland and other cities is a disgrace. We as Americans cannot tolerate leftist hate groups destroying our nation. It’s time to demand that Congress do something about these constant violence. Someone needs to put down the mob.

Democrat policies related to Black Lives Matter riots all boil down to one thing: the problem must be ignored and talking about it makes you a racist. Since the summer, BLM and Antifa have done millions of dollars in damage to people and property, caused loss of life, and hurt their communities in untold ways. In larger cities like Portland, cops are fed up.

Portland played host to anarchist “autonomous zones,” numerous riots, destruction of businesses, harassment of citizens, and other things commonly associated with “peaceful” (read: “violent”) leftist “protests” (“read: “riots”). Since July 2020, 74 cops have dipped into retirement and 41 have resigned. What police are saying on their way out the door in exit interviews is something every liberal should hear, but none will listen to. In fact, 31 of the exit interviews were decidedly brutal. The Oregonian reports:

Nearly all of the 31 who filled out the forms wrote that they were dissatisfied with the bureau’s ability to respond to problems, and said they wouldn’t recommend the Portland Police Bureau job to family or friends. Some blamed their heavy workload or said they felt their efforts to solve crimes or protect the public were for naught.

“The community shows zero support. The city council are raging idiots, in addition to being stupid,” one detective writes in his exit interview. “Additionally, the mayor and council ignore actual facts on crime and policing in favor of radical leftist and anarchists fantasy.”

“The only differences between the Titanic and PPB?” the officer asks rhetorically. “Deck chairs and a band.”

Officers are continuing to flee the sinking ship. Two more are expected to resign by the end of April and another will retire.

Liberals love to push their crazy ideas that violence is OK as long as they support the cause, but their decisions are hurting very real people — especially those who put their lives on the line every single day to protect their communities, This is something we can expect to see in police departments nationwide if Joe Biden and the Democrats have their way.
