Where were the German police when the the Nazi SA were out beating Jews and other political opponents in the streets? They were standing down, because the political leadership in their respective areas were telling them to mostly let the SA do whatever they needed to do. That's what's happening in places like Portland and Berkeley. You'll notice that Antifa doesn't pull this kind of crap in conservative cities where the police would take the clubs to them.
They don't want a reaction, because it wouldn't end well for them. Antifa has plenty of scary people in it, but if the Right formed similar organizations, they'd be heavily armed and have firearms expertise. It would get deadly on their end very fast. Antifa's rap is almost entirely about intimidating ordinary people who aren't fighters.
