In An Email Made Public, Portland Police Blame Conservative Victims For Being Attacked By Antifa

Posted • October 5, 2025: We talked about how the Trump Administration has launched an investigation into the Portland Police, arising from charges that they are not enforcing the law evenhandedly when it comes to Anti-FA and that is when we saw this from Katie Daviscourt, another alleged victim of viewpoint discrimination at their hands: —— Katie Daviscourt 📸 @KatieDaviscourt: “I am going to go to war with Portland Police! The agency submitted testimony that says I am a counter protester who intentionally agitates Antifa to get assaulted. I am beyond pissed. Anyone who knows me, knows that I stand by myself, I am non violent, never approach the crowd. —— We weren't sure specifically what she based this on, so it led us to do a little digging, and apparently this is coming from information that Andy Ngo had publlicized, whom regular readers know has been absolutely courageous in his exposure of Anti-FA’s violence and has been a victim of their violence on a semi-regular basis.

Wow. In Oregon’s emergency lawsuit to prevent the President from sending troops to protect federal property, a disturbing email from Portland Police Sergeant Andrew Braun (badge #56961) was included. In it, Braun blames the victims of Antifa violence for their own assaults and attacks. Braun claims that journalist Katie Daviscourt, citizen journalist C.K. Bouferrache aka Honeybadgermom and conservative activist Rhein Amacher are somehow responsible for being attacked by “protesters.” He falsely labels Daviscourt and Chelly Boufferache as “counter-protesters” and accuses them of trespassing on federal property. In reality, these journalists stay near or on federal property because when they're on public streets in Portland, the Portland Police will not bother to investigate if they are assaulted or robbed. Sgt. Braun is essentially parroting Antifa talking points, which justify violence against those they deem unwelcome in public areas they lay claim to.

Antifa regularly argues that anyone they label as an “antagonizer” (i.e., press) is fair game for violent retaliation. This leadership mindset or policy helps explain why Portland Police have systematically failed to protect conservatives from being beaten or robbed by Antifa and the violent far-left over the years. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2cjG4xWIAAkUxT?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 —— This reminds us of video we recently shared where a police officer in London told a man that he would be arrested for peacefully being in the presence of pro-Hamass protesters because he was ‘openly Jewish’ and that meant somehow he would be ‘breaching the peace.’ Naturally, we would equally say that if peaceful journalism (or even counter-protesting) is met with violence, the answer is to arrest the people who are getting violent, not to blame the people who express themselves peacefully. Because duh.

Indeed, the Fourteenth Amendment says that ‘No State shall … deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’ Yet, it is becoming increasingly clear that if Anti-FA hates you, then you will not be equally protected by Portland Police. And that is an email they voluntarily disclosed in a lawsuit. They admitted to this. Who knows how much worse it gets when we see what they are hiding? —— Portland (Sept. 20) — Antifa tried to violently rob videographer C.K. Bouferrache aka Honeybadgermom outside the ICE facility and then used pepper spray on both her and Katie Daviscourt. (…)
