If that doesn't seem fair and feels condescending to you, then you can probably imagine how some on the right feel.

But these warnings are a thing that companies do -- through official channels -- when protests that might become violent are held near one of their offices. If your office is in downtown Portland, and if you're on the list of people with office access during pandemic, then you've probably received a bunch of emails warning about looting and/or violence over the summer. Probably didn't use the word "Thug", but in this case there were actual literal nazis so the warning seems reasonable.
edit: My liberal friends were generally concerned about our safety during the early BLM protests in our cities. Supporting the cause doesn't mean supporting the violent participants or wanting to get entangled with them.
I personally consider both "keep safe, there's communists about" and "keep safe, there's trump supporters about" to be political statements that may be against company policies.
Communism is only derogatory for the few people that understand history
