#2,376 - Oregon 'anarchist' group takes credit for burning 15 police cars in 'preemptive' attack
Manage episode 427499678 series 2792715
Rose City Counter-Info, a self-described "anarchist" group based in Portland, Oregon, took credit Monday for having “torched” 15 police cars at the Portland Police Bureau’s (PPB) training facility.
The group says last week's attack was a "preemptive" one, pointing to recent police intervention at anti-Israel college campus protests nationwide. It noted on its blog members "cut through a fence, set ten fires and are happy it grew to burn fifteen cars!”
“After seeing Humboldt, Columbia, UCLA and more we knew the occupation at [Portland State University] would be swept violently and wanted to attack PPB before,” the group wrote. “While we respect the student occupations, particularly the ones occupying buildings and causing damages to the colleges, we hate to see them passive and waiting to be attacked."
