Australian Signals Directorate: ASD chief’s terrorism warning

The boss of Australia’s top foreign spy agency has given a rare public speech, including a grim warning for all Aussies.

The boss of Australia’s top foreign spy agency has warned she leads an “impossible game” fighting terrorists and cyber criminals and declared “not all Australians are the good guys”

In a rare speech, the Australian Signals Directorate’s new chief Rachel Noble insists the agency has never and will never be involved in the “mass surveillance” of Australia’s own citizens, as the Morrison Government mounts the case for expanded powers.

But the nation’s first female intelligence agency director – who also reveals in the speech she rose through the ranks to the organisation after her early role as a codebreaker – will argue Australians need to be clear-headed about the threat.

“I’m sorry if this is news to you, but not all Australians are the good guys,’’ Ms Noble said.

“Some Australians are agents of a foreign power. Some Australians are terrorists. Some Australians take up weapons and level them at us. Some Australians are spies who are cultivated by international powers and are not on our side.”

The secretive spy agency she leads is tasked with intercepting foreign signals intelligence and fighting cyber attacks under its motto “reveal their secrets, protect our own”,

But there are growing calls for its powers to be expanded at home.

Speaking at the Australian National University (ANU) National Security College on Tuesday, Ms Noble’s address is titled: Long Histories – Short Memories: the Transparently Secret ASD in 2020.

In it, she revealed that one of the spy agency’s top cyber operatives in Australia was a former hairdresser.

“One of our most extraordinary cyber offensive operators didn’t finish year 12 and was a hairdresser,’’ she said.

“I think there’s a little hint in there that being really clever in those sort of operations is in understanding how people think and being interested in people, and hairdressers are wonderful at that. They’re wonderful at making conversation with anyone who sits in the chair. You do feel like you can trust them.

“We are open to every kind of person with any background and it’s the imagination that makes the difference.”

Ms Noble also revealed she was not a fan of her early experiences as a codebreaker with the organisation she now leads.

“I didn’t like that job at all. I’ll tell you about that in a different speech, and about what we hope we’ve learned from how we have historically failed to engage women,” she said.

“Here’s my spoiler alert — don’t starve them of human contact and make them sit alone with a computer all day.”

Ms Noble said some of the ASD’s capabilities were unique in the world, and “expensive and precious”.

“They give us insight into the threats posed to our great country and that of our close allies,’’ she said.

“As our Defence Minister recently warned, nations are increasingly employing coercive tactics that fall below the threshold of armed conflict.

“Cyber attacks, foreign interference and economic pressure seek to exploit the grey area between peace and war. In the grey zone, when the screws are tightened, influence becomes interference, economic co-operation becomes coercion, and investment becomes entrapment.”

'Shoot On-Site': Chicago Gangs Form Pact To Execute Cops Who Draw Weapons On Suspects, Says FBI

The FBI has warned Chicago-area law enforcement that nearly three-dozen street gangs "have formed a pact to 'shoot on-site any cop that has a weapon drawn on any subject in public'," according to ABC7.

According to an August 26 'situation information report' from Chicago-based FBI officials, "members of these gang factions have been actively searching for, and filming, police officers in performance of their official duties. The purpose of which is to catch on film an officer drawing his/her weapon on any subject and the subsequent 'shoot on-site' of said officer, in order to garner national media attention."

Alerts based on police intelligence, no matter how unspecific, are frequently distributed to law enforcement agencies according to investigators, especially when they involve threats to officers. The FBI's "Potential Activity Alert" is from "a contact whose reporting is limited and whose reliability cannot be determined." That could mean the information came from a police street source, a cooperating witness in an ongoing case, or from discussions overheard on a wiretap or other surveillance recording. -ABC7

According to CPD Superintendent David Brown, there is an overall "sense of lawlessness" felt by local police, and the 'danger to police officers is real and increasing.'

"I think it's bigger than a suggestion," said Brown. "I think 51 officers being shot at or shot in one year, I think that quadruples any previous year in Chicago's history. So I think it's more than a suggestion that people are seeking to do harm to cops."

The alleged pact comes amid national protests over several high-profile incidents between black suspects and police officers which has resulted in arson, looting, murder and other violent acts in cities across the country sparked by the death of George Floyd - a black suspect who died in police custody after an officer knelt on his neck for over eight minutes.

As ABC7 notes, the warning comes after 54 people were shot in the windy city - including two Chicago PD officers who are expected to live, while 10 victims died according to the report. That said, there is no indication that the officers were targeted as part of the alleged gang assassination pact described in the FBI alert.

The FBI alert, headlined "Pact Made by People Nation Gang Factions to 'Shoot On-Site' Any Police Officer with a Weapon Drawn" lists street gangs that have become well-known in Chicago the past five decades, from the Latin Kings and Vice Lords to the El Rukns and Black P Stones.

Supt. Brown said on Monday the spike in attacks on police makes it clear to him that "people are seeking to do harm to cops."

"We need police officers and as community members we need to push back fervently against lawlessness," Brown said. -ABC7

Chicago PD told the outlet that they are aware of the gang threat, and take all threats to officers' safety seriously. Federal authorities have not provided additional information.

REVOLT! Oregon Sheriffs Defy Order by Liberal Governor to Send Deputies to Portland to be Attacked by Protesters and Harassed by the Courts!

On Sunday Oregon Democrat Governor Kate Brown requested Oregon sheriffs send their deputies to Portland to be sacrificial lambs for the violent far left protesters and abusive liberal courts.

Governor Brown and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler have repeatedly denied offers from President Trump to send in the National Guard to solve the problem in a few hours. They would rather see the city completely destroyed before they take the president up on his offer. They are committed US progressives — crazy, arrogant and very, very dangerous.

The governor made the request after a Trump supporter was gunned down in cold blood on Saturday night by a far left antifa activist.

On Monday Oregon sheriffs told Governor Brown to pound sand.

Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said the governor did not even bother to call him. He will not be sending his deputies into the progressive cesspool.

Sheriff Pat Garrett from Washington County said he will not be sending his deputies to Portland.

Josh Frydenberg slaps down Facebook after social media giant threatens to pull Australian news

Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has slapped down Facebook for making “heavy handed threats” to lock Australian media out of its platforms if Government reforms to require the media giant to pay for content proceed.

Mr Frydenberg said the proposed reforms would make the media landscape fairer and were very much needed.

“Australia makes laws that advance our national interest. We don’t respond to coercion or heavy handed threats wherever they come from,” Mr Frydenberg told The West Australian.

“Our reforms to digital platforms are world leading and following a ground breaking 18 month inquiry by the ACCC.

“These reforms will help to create a more sustainable media landscape and see payment for original content.”

Facebook has warned it will ban news on its own platfom and on Instagram if forced to compensate media companies for publishing their stories.

Communications Minister Paul Fletcher said today’s announcement reminds us tech giants “have a history” of these types of moves.

“The Government’s policy objective is clear. We want to support a diverse, sustainable media sector in Australia,” he said.

But he said the Government would not be deterred “from our careful, thorough, fact-based public policy process”.

“The Government remains committed to the introduction of a mandatory code to address bargaining power imbalances between digital platforms and news media businesses,” Mr Fletcher said.

“The ACCC and Government will take account of feedback from all stakeholders including Facebook.

“The ACCC is presently preparing its final advice to Government following its consultation process and the Government looks forward to receiving and considering that advice.”

Facebook executive Will Easton said a code of conduct being pursued by the Australian government ignored the relationship between social media and news organisations, which he claimed would suffer most.

"Assuming this draft code becomes law, we will reluctantly stop allowing publishers and people in Australia from sharing local and international news on Facebook and Instagram," he said in a statement on Tuesday.

"This is not our first choice - it is our last.

The Lockdown Has Gone From a Mistake to a Crime

Four months ago, I wrote a column titled “The Worldwide Lockdown May Be the Greatest Mistake in History.” I explained that “‘mistake’ and ‘evil’ are not synonyms. The lockdown is a mistake; the Holocaust, slavery, communism, fascism, etc., were evils. Massive mistakes are made by arrogant fools; massive evils are committed by evil people.”

Regarding the economic catastrophe in America and around the world — especially among the world’s poor who are dependent upon America and other first-world countries for their income through exports and tourism — I wrote, “It is panic and hysteria, not the coronavirus, that created this catastrophe.”

Unfortunately, I was right.

The world should have followed Sweden’s example. That country never locked down and has even kept children under 16 in school the entire time. As Reuters reported on July 15, the number of Swedish children between 1 and 19 years of age who have died of COVID-19 is zero. And the percentage of children who contracted the illness was the exact same in Sweden as it was in Finland, which locked down its schools.

As regards teachers, Sweden’s Public Health Agency reported that “a comparison of the incidence of COVID-19 in different professions suggested no increased risk for teachers.” Nevertheless, with few exceptions, teachers in Los Angeles and elsewhere refuse to enter a classroom that has students in it. Their disdain for their profession has been superseded only by that of the Los Angeles teachers union, which announced that teachers will not resume teaching until the police are defunded.

People who defend lockdowns and closing schools point out that Sweden has the eighth-highest death rate per million in the Western world. But, needless to say, this has no bearing at all on the issue of whether Sweden was right to keep schools open or whether our country was wrong to close them, let alone keep them closed now. The overwhelming majority of deaths from COVID-19 in Sweden were among people over 70 years of age, and most of those were people over 80 and with compromised immune systems.

Reuters reported that three separate studies, including one by UNICEF, “showed that Swedish children fared better than children in other countries during the pandemic, both in terms of education and mental health.”

For more than a month, Sweden has had almost no deaths from COVID-19 while the entire society remains open and almost no one wears masks. (In Holland, too, almost no one wears masks.) For all intents and purposes, the virus is over in Sweden.

Cops Shoot Man Dead In L.A.; Protests Ensue

Protesters were gathering after a police involved-shooting in Los Angeles Monday afternoon. The scene is in the 1200 block of West 109th Place.

Local media reports a man was stopped on a bicycle for code violations when he took off running. Deputies later caught up with the man who was carrying a bundle of clothes. Officials say the suspect punched a deputy and then dropped the clothes–at which time a handgun fell to the ground.

Witnesses say deputies fired over a dozen shots at the suspect, whom the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says was armed. Some witnesses say the suspect was struck in the back—this was not confirmed.

The suspect was struck by gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene. No deputies were injured.

The department said, During the contact, a fight ensued between the suspect and deputies. The suspect produced a handgun and a deputy-involved “hit” shooting occurred. The suspect’s handgun was recovered.

Video circulating online shows the scene but not what led up to the shooting.

Harris solicited funds for a nonprofit that bailed out suspects in violent crimes

In one case, the fund paid $10,000 to bail out a man charged with assault in July who then went on to be charged in another brutal assault following his release.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris solicited donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to help pay bail for individuals arrested during police brutality protests or charged with violent crimes. One man freed by the group's bail was charged last week in connection with a brutal assault that occurred after he was released.

"If you're able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota," Sen. Harris tweeted on June 1.

If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) June 1, 2020

Biden campaign staffers also donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund after the protests and rioting triggered by the May 25 death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.

The fund has reportedly raised over $35 million with the help of donations from celebrities, including Steve Carell, Cynthia Nixon, Seth Rogen and Don Cheadle. In recent years, the fund raised about $100,000 in donations, according to tax filings.

According to Fox 9 in Minnesota, the MFF paid $75,000 to bail out Jaleel Stallings, charged with attempted murder. Stallings "shot at members of a SWAT Team during the riots in May," and police "recovered a modified pistol that looks like an AK-47," reported Fox 9's Tom Lyden.

According to the same report, the fund paid $100,000 to release Darnika Floyd, who was "charged with second degree murder for stabbing a friend to death."

Christopher Boswell, convicted of rape twice, was being held on charges of "kidnapping, assault, and sexual assault in two separate cases," Lyden reported, but the fund paid $350,000 to bail him out of jail.

The fund also paid $10,000 bail for Lionel Timms, who was charged for an alleged July 11 attack in Bloomington, Minn. on a bus passenger who had rebuffed Timms's request for money.

After being bailed out, Timms was later arrested on a new third-degree assault charge for an alleged beating in an alley on Aug. 14 that left the victim with "traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull and a brain bleed," according to WCCO-TV in Minneapolis.

The fund issued a statement specifically about the Timms case and signaled that it might change its internal procedures.

"The criminal justice system failed, and we didn't do enough to mitigate that damage by ensuring that Mr. Timms had the support he needed to safely come back to the community," read the statement.

China Shifting Away From Saudi Oil

China has significantly reduced its imports of crude oil from Saudi Arabia in recent months, a recent report has revealed, which notes that the Saudis are no longer among the top suppliers of crude to China.

The analytic report published by Oilprice.com shows that Chinese oil purchasers, including state-owned oil companies and independent refiners, imported a total 1.26 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil from Saudi Arabia in July, a record low that is largely due to high benchmark prices set by Persian Gulf Arab producers for orders placed in April.

For two years, Saudi Arabia has been either the number-one or number-two oil supplier to China, the world’s top oil importer.

However, a slump in global oil prices that began in March and continued into April, mainly a result of a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia as well as the massive decline in demand for oil because of the coronavirus pandemic, pushed many Chinese buyers to take advantage of the ultra-cheap oil and stock up their reserves.

That caused imports into China from the Americas to surge at the expense of Saudi Arabia. In fact, imports from the United States and Brazil increased in July, showing that Chinese preferred supplies that took almost 45 days to reach the country from the Americas over the cargoes on the shorter route between the Middle East and China.

The report predicted that the Saudis will have to wait for months to be able to recapture their previous share of the Chinese market. It cited economic data as showing that supplies of crude from the US and Brazil into China would continue to be strong in August and even in September as the Chinese buyers have already chartered tankers for the future deliveries. LINK

At the same time as it is reportedly reducing purchases from the Saudis, in terms of more long term trends China has been steadily increasing its purchases of oil and gas from Russia, Iran and Iraq to unprecedented levels. Moreover, in each case the purchases have been locked into long term arrangements that signify that while the current shift away from Saudi oil may have been decided based on current conditions, it is also part of a long term shift in Chinese strategy and relations that involves replacing Saudi oil purchases with other suppliers, although as it traditionally does in its relations with other countries China will continue to maintain cordial relations with the Saudis unless there is a specific dispute that cannot be resolved by quiet diplomacy.

Most Chinese EV Startups Are Now Being Bailed Out And Backed By The State

Just weeks after we reported that many EV manufacturers in the super-saturated Chinese market were going public to avoid bankruptcy, we are learning that China's local governments are also doing everything they possibly can to keep the country's EV projects afloat.

For example, when NIO was under tremendous financial pressure just months ago, it was the municipal government of Hefei that stepped in to bail the company out by investing $1 billion in cash for a 24.1% stake in the company's China's entity - and getting the company to relocate its headquarters to its province. Hefei has "hopes of creating a powerful rival to Tesla," according to Nikkei.

Trump: I Don’t Want My Supporters Confronting Protesters

During an interview aired on Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” President Donald Trump stated that he does not want his supporters to confront left-wing protesters and that such matters should be left to law enforcement. Trump also stated that his supporters are good people who “can’t believe” the violence they see in some American cities.

Host Laura Ingraham asked, [relevant exchange begins around 5:00] “[D]o you want your supporters to confront the left-wing protesters, or do you want to leave it to law enforcement?”

Trump responded, “No. No, I don’t want them. I want to leave it to law enforcement. But my supporters are wonderful, hard-working, tremendous people. And they turn on their television set, and they look at a Portland, or they look at a Kenosha, before I got involved and stopped it, or they look at Chicago, where 78 people were shot last weekend and numerous people died, or they look at New York, where violence is up by like, what? 150%. … They’re looking at all of this, and they can’t believe it.”

He added, “It’s a peaceful protest. I mean, they were protesting. They weren’t — you know, it’s amazing, they want to protest, and they get criticized.”

Russia fuelling Portland & Kenosha violence? CNN turns to Russiagate tsar Schiff with bizarre take on US race tensions

Russia may be responsible for the deadly unrest in American cities, CNN host Dana Bash has implied during an interview with Democrats’ top Russiagate figure, Adam Schiff, proving that red-baiting never goes out of vogue.

Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, came to CNN for a round of Trump-bashing over the President’s remarks on how Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe “got tired of” classified information being leaking from Congress. The DNI wrote last week to the California representative and his Senate counterpart, Marco Rubio, that his office will be informing lawmakers on election security through written reports rather than in-person briefings.

During the interview Schiff took time to denounce the President for what he described as an attempt to hide “the fact that the Russians are helping Donald Trump again” and declared that US intel “belongs to the American people”. With the election-meddling Ruskie bad guys introduced into the conversation, host Dana Bash mused on what other evil deeds they may be up to.

There were shooting deaths in Kenosha, Wisconsin and Portland, Oregon amid continued race protests in those cities, she said. “Do you have any reason to believe that Russia is trying to fuel some of the civil unrest in these cities via social media or other methods?” she wondered.

Schiff, who played a leading role in peddling the theory that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election, obliged to confirm that yes, the Russians “are once again doing their best in social media, in the overt media and other means to grow this division again.”

Blaming Russia for racial problems in the US is a time-honored tradition, so the CNN-Schiff duet hardly discovered new territory there. And the fact that the collusion theory crumbled after the Robert Mueller investigation failed to find evidence of it doesn’t seem to hurt his credibility with the sympathetic media.

Ex-Dem. Said Democrats Threatened To Make His Life ‘Difficult’

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (NJ) said, “I speak to you as a member of the Republican Party, but it always wasn’t that way. How I became a Republican says a lot about today’s Democratic Party. I’m from South Jersey, where we work hard, look after our neighbors, and care about our communities. Years ago, I was a local dentist and was asked by the Democrats to run for a town council seat. I had my doubts and I explained that my views were middle of the road to conservative. But the local leaders said the Democratic Party was a big tent and that they accepted people like me. I was elected to council as a Democrat, but as I won seats for county office, state legislature, and then Congress, I noticed things were changing. The Democratic Party had become less accepting of American tradition, less believing in American exceptionalism, less supportive of traditional faith and family.”

Rep. Van Drew continued, “This was not the party that I knew. In 2018 after being elected to Congress as a Democrat. I was already uncomfortable with a San Francisco liberal running the House. Which is why my first vote in Congress was cast against Nancy Pelosi for Speaker. But imagine how I felt after seeing members of “The Squad” quickly take control of the Democratic Party just weeks after being elected.”

‘The Squad’ are four far-left congresswomen who push for socialism in the Democrat Party. They are Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley.

Rep. Van Drew also stated, “The party had moved from liberal to radical. This new Democratic Party wasn’t just for higher taxes. Now they were for open borders, against our police, and against our God-given rights. When the radical Democrats went after President Trump with impeachment, they made another mistake. Democratic leaders told me that I had to vote for impeachment or my life would be made difficult and I wouldn’t be allowed to run again. Listen, I’m from South Jersey and you’d better come at me with more than just loud words and empty threats. I voted no on impeachment and it was an easy call. Soon after, I met with President Trump and he made me feel more comfortable and welcome in the Oval Office than Nancy Pelosi ever made me feel in her caucus. And a few days later, I officially changed parties and I became a Republican.”

High Ranking Cop Admits to Running ‘Sadistic’ Child Porn Ring on Gov’t Network, While On Duty

Dallas, TX — The taxpayers of Dallas, Texas may want to request a refund this week after finding out that they have been paying for a pedophile to distribute child porn to other disgusting pedophiles online. This high level cop’s entire operation was conducted on duty, on official government computers, and also on Google.

According to federal court documents, Sr. Cpl. Daniel Lee Collins just pleaded guilty to uploading sexual photos of underage girls to various Google accounts using the City of Dallas internet network, according to the Department of Justice.

U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox stated that Daniel Lee Collins, 35, a former senior corporal, pleaded guilty to the crimes on Friday morning. The top cop further admitted he knew the images depicted actual minors, including a nude prepubescent female, and portrayed “sadistic or masochistic conduct.”

According to the federal criminal complaint, Collins, a 35-year-old senior corporal assigned to Dallas Police Department’s Auto Theft Unit, was charged via criminal complaint with transportation of child pornography.

“Law enforcement officers take an oath to protect and serve,” said Cox. “This defendant allegedly undermined that vow, preying upon our most vulnerable. The Department of Justice will not tolerate the exploitation of children – especially by our public servants.”

As TFTP reported at the time, the investigation began with a tip to the the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in May and another in June. The images were being uploaded from multiple accounts held by Collins. Google flagged the images – one uploaded on May 13 to an account tagged “Dan Collins” and two more uploaded on June 29 to an account tagged “John Smith.”

An IT expert in Dallas later traced the IP addresses for the uploads and found them to be coming from the City of Dallas internet network. Investigators determined that the same Google accounts were also accessed from Collin’s residence, according to the federal complaint.

In an interview with federal agents, Collins admitted to accessing the Google accounts and saving child pornography, according to court documents.

Devin Nunes: Adam Schiff Using Intel Committee Investigation of Rioters to Target Trump

House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) told Breitbart News exclusively this weekend that his committee’s chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been running a thus-far-unreported investigation into the Trump administration’s response to violence in American cities.

Asked if Schiff should hold hearings on the threats to the country on display in American cities and outside the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Washington, DC, Nunes revealed that Schiff has been plotting to hold hearings on this matter. The difference, however, is Schiff’s hearings are actually going to target President Donald Trump and his administration’s efforts to secure order in places like Portland, and law enforcement and national security officials trying to restore law and order in riotous Democrat cities, rather than targeting the people behind the violence, looting, rioting, chaos, and mayhem.

“It’s funny you should say that — they are actually going to have, they’re running an investigation into this,” Nunes said on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel. “It hasn’t gotten too much coverage yet. They’re running an investigation from the Intelligence Committee, which has become the impeachment committee, on the situation that happened up in Seattle and Portland. But guess what? They’re running the investigation to see what federal assets did the Trump administration use and was it legal or not to keep the peace in the Pacific Northwest. So they are going to hold hearings, but they’re basically holding hearings to condemn the Trump administration for trying to save Americans’ lives and save Americans’ property and save us from all this looting and rioting and trying to keep under somewhat of some civil discourse here. So, they’re having hearings alright, but for the opposite reason.”

Asked if Schiff’s efforts to target with the Intelligence Committee the law enforcement community’s push to restore order instead of the people disrupting American communities and causing the mayhem in the first place actually assists those creating the chaos, Nunes said that Schiff has perverted the purpose of the Intelligence Committee.

“Essentially what they’re doing is the Department of Homeland Security, which Trump deployed obviously to protect the federal courthouse and other federal areas, they’re running an investigation into the Department of Homeland Security from the House Intelligence Committee which once again the irony of all of that is the House Intelligence Committee is supposed to be bipartisan,” Nunes said. “It’s supposed to have our focus on things like China, Russia, North Korea, counter-intelligence, and terrorism. But that’s clearly not what they’re after. What they’re doing is, first of all, they impeached the president using the Intelligence Committee but if that’s not enough here you have assets that the president is trying to use to help protect the government and federal property and they are now running an investigation into whether or not the president properly used that equipment or not to help aid in protecting federal property.”

Los Angeles Police Station Spray-Painted with BLM Graffiti, American Flag Set on Fire by Protesters

Street violence linked to demonstrations condemning racial injustice and police brutality erupted with fresh force in US cities recently, feeding into the wave of protests prompted by the killing of Afro-American former convict George Floyd by a police officer in Minnesota.

A mob of around 50 “defund the police” rioters vandalized a Los Angeles police station on Friday night, allegedly spraying graffiti on the walls and setting an American flag on fire, reported Fox News, citing the local police.

The dark-clad, masked group reportedly gathered in Los Angeles' Van Nuys neighbourhood at 11 p.m., yelling anti-police slogans as they closed in on the police station, according to an LAPD statement on Monday.The American flag was then removed from a pole in front of the station and set on fire, said the police.

The outside walls of the station were allegedly spray-painted with Black Lives Matter (BLM) graffiti by others in the group.

The LA Police Department posted a tweet featuring phrases like "Ya'll gonna lose pigs," and "ACAB", the acronym for "All cops are bastards," sprayed on the walls.

The LAPD report claims some protesters spotted a vehicle with uniformed police officers inside and attacked it, trying to prevent it from driving away. The officers eventually put the vehicle in reverse and left.

While there were no details released about the extent of the damage to the police station, the department issued a statement that read:

"We will not tolerate the vandalism of our community police stations. While spray paint can be removed and flags can be replaced, each instance of violence/destruction causes fractures to our shared community health."

The incident was slammed by the union representing rank and file police officers, the Los Angeles Police Protective League, which branded it a "pathetic reflection of those who continue to promote hate, violence and destruction to justify their dangerous anarchist agenda that calls for the abolishment of police officers in the city of Los Angeles."

The incident came after protesters reportedly vandalised the home of LAPD Chief Michel Moore in the San Fernando Valley with anti-cop posters on 27 August.
