From John Sexton at Hat Hair, Arsonist Attacks Portland Police Vehicles
When Portland police arrived at a department training facility to help with a fire on Thursday morning, they found at least 15 patrol vehicles burning.The PPB released several photos of the burned cars, including this one.
The Portland Police Bureau is searching for a suspected arsonist who they believe set the cop cars on fire around 1:55 a.m. while the vehicles were parked in a fenced training area, the department said in a news release.

The investigation is underway but the arsonist was caught on video so there's no question what happened here. The question that does remain is who is responsible. Everyone seems to know the answer even if they aren't saying it outright. Portland anarchists have had quite a week. Wednesday, just prior to the arson, a group walked through the city breaking windows.Fireworks were set off, windows were broken and property was spray-painted by a group of suspects marching through downtown Portland Wednesday, according to Portland Police Bureau...As mentioned, there was also a lot of damage done to the library at Portland State University. Are all of these things connected? There's no proof of that so far but what we can say is that the same sort of masked anarchists who smash windows and start fires also may have been involved at PSU. The police released a list of everyone they arrested yesterday when they cleared out the campus library and very few of these people strike me as the usual undergrads.
Police said among the businesses damaged include banks, coffee shops, cell phone and electronic stores, retail clothing and accessories shops and property belonging to Portland State University.
Greater Idaho can't come soon enough.
