Portland State: Police Recover ‘Improvised Weapons’ Left Behind in Library by Pro-Hamas Mob

The Portland Police Bureau took back Portland State University’s police library from a pro-Hamas mob.

The mob trashed the library. They stole rare books and comic books.

The mob also left behind a bunch of homemade weapons intended to be used against the police.

Police showed up in riot gear at 6 AM and performed the raid at 8 AM:

At least two arrests were made before 8 a.m., and just before 9 a.m., around three dozen protesters were spotted running out of the library, busting through police barricades and into the South Park Blocks bordering PSU’s downtown campus. Authorities said they are taking lawful action and asked the public to not interrupt and interfere with them.PPB previously said they did not plan to use tear gas on the protesters inside the building. However, chemical munitions appeared to be administered in the open air once the protest made its way outside around 10 a.m.Authorities also noted officers were armed with 40mm less-lethal launchers, which they said are regulated by Portland police’s use-of-force policies.Following the clearing of the library, protestors took to the street and eventually congregated around the park blocks where police had set up police tape lines around the library.
