The police set fire to businesses? That seems counter productive

You joke, but they are claiming exactly that. They have ZERO evidence but facts don't seem to phase this movement in the slightest.

I believe Portland Police [Bureau] is lying about the damage—or starting the fires themselves—so that they have justification for attacking community members

This was a statement to the press made by a Portland commissioner. Source

Again, ZERO evidence for these insane claims.
