The Oregonian had just published the video footage of a sergeant getting sucker-punched and knocked to the ground during the latest night of destruction in troubled Portland, Oregon.
Footage taken by The Oregonian and shared by Portland Police Bureau shows a sergeant on a bike being blocked by an angry protester dressed all in black and thrusting his phone in his face Tuesday night. âFâ you cops!â someone screams at him as he moves the protester out of the way, exchanging angry words with him.
As the cop walks away, and a loudspeaker confirms it has been ruled an unlawful assembly, another Antifa member of the large group suddenly winds up and punches him in the face. As the sergeant crumples to the ground.
Fellow officers rush to aid their fallen compadre, landing several blows of their own on the offending Black Bloc thug.
Randy Gray, 36, was charged with assaulting a public safety officer, fourth-degree assault, harassment, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief, police said. He was released from Multnomah County Detention Center by Wednesday, online records show.
