‘Orchestrated attack’ on Portland elections office shatters dozens of windows: Police

The attack happened just before 2 a.m. Monday and suspects fled as police arrived at the office, which was not occupied at the time, police said.

“It indicates, or demonstrates, what I would consider to be an orchestrated attack on this building,” Portland Police Chief Bob Day told reporters at a press conference. “It’s about eight to 10 folks. They were on scene for probably two minutes. So they definitely showed up with a plan … and were gone just as quickly just after they did the damage.”

The graffiti was anti-establishment and anti-government, he said.

“At this point we are not suggesting that this was directly related to the inauguration,” he said, referring to President Donald Trump’s swearing in Monday as the 47th president of the United States. “It’s important to remember that we have seen these types of attacks regardless of who’s in office.”
