They are losing control there.

Portland cops run away from emboldened leftist mob physically attacking them over home foreclosure
‘We ain’t f *in’ around!’ one militant was heard yelling at cops while another leftist declared, ‘I’ll knock you the f * out, b***h!’
Portland police officers apparently were no match for a violent leftist mob Tuesday, the members of which didn’t like that cops were enforcing a home foreclosure.
Members of the mob kicked and threw rocks at retreating police vehicles and ran up on cops and appeared to try to steal their equipment while taunting and threatening them as they literally chased officers down a street.
“We ain’t f *in’ around!” one militant was heard yelling at cops while another leftist declared, “I’ll knock you the f * out, bitch!”

How did this all unfold?
Early in the morning, police were trying to protect the perimeter of the foreclosed home so new owners could erect a fence, but the Oregonian said the size of the opposing crowd swelled — and officers were “struck by projectiles such as rocks and paint-filled balloons.”
Cops made seven arrests, the paper said, and officers found one person with a gun as well as other guns on the property. But when police departed, the mob simply pulled down the fence and re-entered the property, the Oregonian said.
Police returned — and then more serious problems developed, the paper said:
The crowd swelled to about 200 people, and violent clashes ensued. Law enforcement ultimately retreated as police vehicles were damaged, including at least one window smashed. Protesters threw rocks at officers and one sprayed a fire extinguisher at them, prompting an officer to deploy an impact munition.
One police vehicle hit a parked car while trying to leave.

The Oregonian said the melee subsided after police left about 10:30 a.m., and demonstrators took the down the fencing around the property, known as the “Red House on Mississippi,” and piled up rocks and bricks, presumably for future throwing purposes.
