Rioters or should I say, peaceful protestors tried to use a quick dry concrete to seal the door to the police precinct closed while attempting to set it on fire which would have locked officers inside while it burned.

The criminals at the 12th street entrance reportedly mixed what is suspected to be cement mix and water in a bucket with a wooden stick before applying it to the door. Photos show the criminals also destroyed the electronic key card off the door, presumably to stop people from getting inside the building.

On the East Pine Street side of the East Precinct, the criminals started a fire. The intent appeared to be to burn the building with the officers inside.

A source tells me the officers inside had to kick the door open to exit the building and disperse the rioters. Luckily, already lacking discernible skills, the rioters did not follow directions and may have used too much water in the cement mixture. Photos indicate it too runny to fully seal the doorway shut.

Standard peaceful rioting doesn't get the headlines anymore, so they've escalated to attempting peaceful immolation.

What’s even worse is that this barely made the news. This is one of only two sources I can find.
