Last night, Portland Police officers were instructed to tear down the barricades built by far-left protesters and Antifa around Democrat Mayor Ted Wheeler’s condo. Independent journalist Andy Ngo captured video footage of the police acting more like sanitation workers than law enforcement, as they’re forced to clean up the squalor left behind by Antifa and other far-left radicals.

Portland Mayor Wheeler had a tough words for the far-left protesters in Portland today (as tough as a marshmallow mayor can talk) “I do not want an autonomous zone set up in Portland.” Wheeler let the lawless protesters/squatters know that he sees what’s going on in Seattle and that he’s not in favor of another “autonomous zone” in his city.
“I’m not in Seattle, but what I’m hearing coming out of Seattle concerns me. Armed peopole walking around in the autonomous zone. People being asked to show their papers and demonstrate where they’re from at the entrance to the autonomous zone. Businesses potentially being shaken down, to be allowed operate in the autonomous zone,” he said, calling it a “distraction.”

Andy Ngo recorded a woman taking part in the Portland protests outside of Mayor Wheeler’s condo when she was shot in the hand. Chants of “Black Lives Matter” can be heard in the background, while the woman who’s about to be shot begins to narrate for a video she’s recording.
“So, they just started shooting at people,” she says, as gunshots can be heard ringing out.
“Ow-ow-ow!” she screams. “I just got shot in the hand!” she tells her fellow protesters, as a man with a water bottle and a woman nearby with a first aid kit come to the rescue.
“Did you get hit?’ a man walking by asks.
The woman with the first aid kit says very matter-of-factly, “Yeah, she got hit.”
“Breathe in, breathe in!” they tell her.

Apparently, amateur medics are all the rage with Antifa in their short-lived Portland “autonomous zone.”
Watch the video here:
