PPB: Man breaks patrol car window, pepper sprays officer
[KOIN] A 41-year-old man now faces multiple criminal charges, accused of smashing in the window of a Portland Police Bureau patrol car and pepper spraying the officer inside, authorities said Sunday.

According to police, an officer was doing paperwork in their patrol car near the South Waterfront district Sunday morning when a man walked up to the car and broke the back window. The suspect then started pepper-spraying inside the car, spraying the officer as well. Police said that suspect then got into another car and drove off.

The officer called for back up and chased after the suspect, who was pulled over roughly six blocks away. Police said the officer recognized the vehicle as one that had been following him earlier that morning. When searching the car, authorities found, "window punch tools, pepper spray, throwing knives, a laser pointer, a slingshot, rocks, and more." All of it was seized as evidence.

The suspect, who police have identified as Portland resident John Russell, was arrested. He faces charges of assaulting a public safety officer, aggravated harassment, and criminal mischief.

#7  It'll be a shame if the window breaking pepper-sprayer tripped on the curb and broke his face and several bones.

#1  "a violent antifa killed under unknown circumstances because his comrades won't cooperate w/police"

?
Can someone parse this? Does because refer to the cause of the killing i.e. he was killed "because his comrades wouldn't cooperate with police"? That would imply the police killed him.

Or does this actually mean, "we don't know why he was killed because only a police investigation could reveal means-motive-opportunity, and his comrades refuse to aid such an investigation, therefore the police and we know nothing"?

Confusing
