Tonight, PPB declared an unlawful assembly at the MCSO, citing paintballs and other projectiles were being thrown at the building. The comparison in police response to earlier today has protester wondering if PPB has a bias that favors far-right groups.

I think that PPB has some sort of B-team of officers called "Delta". They were all over the place tonight. One of them can be seen here, running away from his line.

Another clip of team "Delta", giving conflicting orders. Some of them confront press, while another say to let press through.

Did you know...
That Portland #Police Association (#PPA) President Darryl Turner is also the President of #ORCOPS, the Oregon Coalition of Police & Sheriffs, which he helped launch in 2015?

A large fire burns at the remnants of the Elk Statue. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage
There’s also a small trash fire right on the inside of courthouse fence. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage
The fire inside the fence has been extinguished. The elk statue fire is now significantly smaller. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage
Officers are out in the streets and are in a standoff on 4th & Main. I’ve got a lot of footage to process from the lead up to this standoff, so bear with me and I’ll get the videos out ASAP! #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon
When federal officers first came out of the courthouse (1:16 am) and were standing there, a man began to yell at an officer and a woman stepped between them in an attempt to deescalate. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx
Here’s the scene when the large group of federal officers began to advance from the courthouse towards 4th (1:18 am). What prompted officers to begin to push up is unclear. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
After 25+ minutes of standing there, officers released tear gas and other munitions in an attempt to push the crowd back. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage
Gas fills the air and momentarily shifted the crowd back. Protestors have tightened around the fence again. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage
Protestors use leaf blowers in an attempt to clear away another round of tear gas. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage
.@PortlandPolice just declared this a riot. They are ordering people to disperse immediately to the north/west or be subject to arrest, citation and riot control agents. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #PDXprotest
An officer from @PortlandPolice just made an announcement over the LRAD that the warning he just gave is the “second tear gas warning.” #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #PDXprotest
The @PortlandPolice are saying that “SW 1st Ave to SW Broadway from SW Columbia to SW Harvey Milk is now closed.”
Something is burning on the other side of the reinforced fence. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #PDXprotests #PDX #clypiancoverage
The fire seems to be a small trash fire. However there are strong gusts of wind which are making the fire grow and shrink rapidly. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #PDXprotests #PDX #clypiancoverage
Here’s another angle of the fire inside the fence. People are also shooting fireworks at the wall through the fence. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #PDXprotests #PDX #clypiancoverage
The reinforced fence is back in front of the federal courthouse, after two nights without it. The fence is more reinforced than ever before. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #PDXprotests #PDX #clypiancoverage
The most notable change to the fence is the use of cement barricades to hold the bottom panels to the ground. There are also more metal pieces connecting the panels. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #PortlandOR #oregon #PDXprotests #PDX
For context, both nights that the fence was used protestors quickly dismantled it and used it to barricade the doors to the federal courthouse. These further reinforcements are to prevent this from happening again. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #PDXprotests
Here’s a breakdown of how you can prepare for federal intervention in your city and how you can you support Portland right now. (1/3)
(2/3)
(3/3)
Several unmarked vehicles with federal officers inside enter the Federal Courthouse. At least two of the cars had Texas license plates. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon #BLMprotest #PDXprotests #PDX #clypiancoverage
For context, unidentified federal officers have been sued by the Oregon AG for using unmarked vehicles (some w out-of-state plates) to apprehend people from the streets of Portland. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #portlandkidnappings
A federal officer, in one of the unmarked cars, yelled at this man as he stood off to the side filming to “f***ing move.” After that this officer came out of the building to move him back. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx
Some of the riot control muntions that were used on protestors tonight, including some type of chemical smoke and CS gas (tear gas). #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon #BLMprotest #PDXprotests #PDX #munitions #Teargas #clypiancoverage
Here’s another canister of CS gas from tonight. Protestors were unsure as to what caused the canister to split as it did.
This canister was also used today in #portland. It is a Multi-Port Distraction Device which reads BORTAC on the side. BORTAC is the U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Unit—essentially CBP’s SWAT team. BORTAC is usually deployed for missions like apprehending int’l drug traffickers.
Everytime an announcement is made over the loudspeaker about leaving the fence alone the crowd begins to boo loudly enough to drown the message out. This time several protestors flipped them off too. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon
The use of auditory warnings tonight is new for the federal officers here in #portland. They did not make any announcements on Friday or Saturday nights.
Protestors just got another auditory warning. This time it was met with boos, the yelling of “f*** you,” the shaking of the fence and the clashing of trash can lids, fashioned as cymbals.
The moms have formed a line on the street in front of the Federal Courthouse. The chant of “I don’t see no riot here, take off your riot gear” continues, led by them. #PortlandMoms. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon #BLMprotest #PDX
The crowd is now chanting several different things at once— “ACAB, all cops are bastards,” “go home pigs,” “I will not live in a fascist state.” Several people are playing the drums.
Someone brought little pigs that squeak. Several people are squeaking them in tune to the chant “ACAB, All cops are bastards.”
Proud Boys are beginning to assemble in Portland. As “normal” cops talk to Enrique Tarrio and Joe Biggs, officers in riot gear watch from a distance.

A couple bike squads are hanging out around them with non-lethals.
Two short busses filled with Proud Boys just showed up. I’d say about 100 are here now.
