Sadly there were a couple of motorcycle officers less than a block away sitting there watching this as it transpired. Odds are they were told by their highers to do nothing unless they witnessed a felony in progress.
Chiefs would rather explain doing nothing than have to explain to the public why they stepped in on what the press would no doubt bill as a "peaceful protest" that then only got out of hand once the police "agitators" stepped in.
Without a doubt though in that part of the country for sure much of the "civic leadership" endorses this kind of behavior from the left.

Re: Antifa Violence in Portland, OR
Just a bunch of very respectable "yoots" out for a stroll. How dare those people interfere with their cars.diverman26 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 12:43 pmThey are marching for Justice - "These cops need to be locked up!"
Actually, there was protesting and street violence in Portland, OR this past weekend. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/ind ... otest.html
In the 10th paragraph, we get to the why of the march:
"At the other end of the lot nearer to Southwest Third Avenue, there was a fight and a shooting, leaving two men wounded. Police then saw Kimmons turn toward them or head their way holding a gun, sources told The Oregonian/OregonLive.
The officers yelled commands and fired at Kimmons with their handguns, striking him in the upper torso and leg. Between the sergeant and officer, 10 to 12 shots were fired."
A total of 5 guns were recovered at the scene. Along with the two people Kimmons is suspected of shooting.
