On Thursday night into Friday morning, a group of far-left rioters attacked Portland police with fireworks.
In addition to more conventional tactics to deal with the problem, the police took an odd tack to deal with it: They went on Twitter and threatened the troublemakers.
"A riot is still declared in the area of the Federal Courthouse and Justice Center," one tweet stated. "You must leave the area now by moving to the west. Tear gas and other crowd control munitions may be deployed. Leave the area now."
"There are several people in this crowd starting fires, throwing rocks at officers, pointing lasers at officers, and launching projectiles with slingshots at officers," a follow-up tweet stated. "Leave the area now or you will be subject to arrest."
