Rioters in Portland also set alight a severed pig’s head wrapped in a US flag outside the federal courthouse to protest against police in the city as the violent riots pass the two-month mark.
Conservative journalist Andy Ngo reported that the severed pig’s head was left outside the Justice Center.
“Antifa protesters dumped a bloody severed pig’s head on an American flag outside the Justice Center in downtown Portland,” Ngo wrote.
“They put a cop’s hat on it and set all of it on fire.”

According to Andy Ngo, police rescued a terrified live pig near the downtown area of the city in the first few weeks of the riots.
“It is believed a protester was going to kill the pig as an act of anti-police protest but abandoned it last minute,” says Ngo.

The Washington Post reported that violence decreased since the Trump administration agreed to pull federal officers back if the violence against the courthouse stopped.
However, U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams blasted the media for refusing to call the violent riots “criminal,” while calling out those blaming federal agents for the violence.
“Yeah, the federal agents being here are protecting federal property, that is not accurate. Blaming federal agents for protecting federal property is an easy out for people who want to politicize this,” Williams said.
