#1 "Any idea why the police would prefer to disperse them"?
Because they were told to.

#2 More than 3 people in the police website. 19 were arrested and the weapons they recovered were nothing short of being ready for a gang war.

Sounds like the police did a great job of taking down the Antifa before things got out of hand.

#4 Unlike Berkeley, Portland PD disarmed Antifa. The typical Antifa tactic is to initially reserve their battle group, then deploy around mid event in hopes of avoiding being disarmed by police. Remember, all Patriots must pass through a PD cordon - they are disarmed by default. The armor worn to these events may often be creative, but it serves an all too real purpose. I've seen increasingly effective communication between the relevant PD officers on scene and the Patriot security employed at these events. Good coordination in expectation of possible scenarios.
