Very decent sized crowd. At least 250-300 here. It’s hot! Ppb shining extremely bright lights for added warmth
I’m at peninsula park! Clover says they apologize in advance for the long walk 😅

We out here! Hearing word there is a group of LEO “defenders” at the precinct. #PortlandProtests #PortlandProtest #pdx #Portland #PortlandStrong #ACAB

I'm here at the Floyd Light Park Black Lives Matter event where I spoke with a gentleman from #WallofVets, Paul Swortz, and he's with a handful of others with the group. Less than 100 gathered here in the park, many clad in black. #koin6news
Here's an interview with Mr. Swortz. He said he is here for Black Lives Matter. He said he doesn't necessarily condone more violent modes of protest, as seen last night at PPB East Precinct across the street, but is here to observe. #koin6news
There's folks also with a community barbecue set up at the park, grilling some meat and giving out snacks for people, however they say they are not the famed Riot Ribs as had been seen downtown near the Justice Center in the past.
I’m here for the protest by the east precinct in Portland on Thursday, Aug 6th. I got here a bit early to scope things out. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Some “Blue Lives Matter” messages are posted on the side of the building. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Right after I arrived, a team of officers went to remove two dumpsters in the area. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
We would like to share the written testimony provided by Christopher David (@Tazerface16) to the Democratic Roundtable of the Subcommittee of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

Arrived at injustice! DHS car and fed snatch car with no plates on broadway and Madison
Thursday 7/30 in front of the Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland. Supposedly the first day Oregon State Police will be replacing some of the Feds.#blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #WallofVets
Wall of Vets in white tee shirts standing at 3rd Ave and Main Street. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #WallofVets
The park that previously had the protest kitchen was cleared out by Portland Police earlier today. Feels a lot emptier. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #WallofVets
Downtown for another night of #BLM protests in beautiful Portland Oregon. Since @riotribs is not on the menu tonight (you can check their feed for why) it’s gyro o’clock. The cops haven’t gassed these food carts since the 4th of July!#PortlandStrong
The caulk abides. This stuff is spray foam, used to disperse pepper ball rounds.
The crowd is significantly smaller then Saturday, but I am told that fed RAD has already been talking to people
@realDonaldTrump is now shooting at, flash banging and pepper spraying the #WallofMoms2020 #WallOfDads #WallofVets in Portland let me say most of these great Americans are WHITE middle age the worse thing they take is a leaf blower to blow back the tear gas thrown by Trump Goons.
There was a Veteran an older man in his 60's that went up to these goons to ask them a question and he was pepper sprayed without any provocation by some coward who ran up to him and ran away in his fatigues and riot gear a Trump Goon.
Then there was the Navy Vet that approached these GOONS to ask a question he was beaten and sprayed he stood his ground and they beat him till his arm was broken.
This all done by the @HHSGov @TheJusticeDept @WhiteHouse
This all done by the @HHSGov @TheJusticeDept @WhiteHouse
Meanwhile, the top National Guard officer on scene at #LafayetteSquare will tell Congress tomorrow that the administration is lying about not using tear gas and will say he saw federal agents use "excessive force" against "peaceful" "fellow Americans."

Pretty decent sized crowd for a Sunday. Lots of people again.

Crowd is gathered in the center of the injustice center and federal courthouse listening to a Black speaker who has been speaking words of encouragement about the movement. Many cheers from the crowd
“I can’t sleep cuz of y’all, y’all never gonna sleep cuz of me!”

Back for another huge protest night in downtown #Portland, where many hundreds are apparently marching to a nearby hotel, where it is believed the federal reinforcements have been staying. #PortlandProtests #pdx
So, apparently Oregon has a protest llama named Ceasar, “the no-drama llama,” who has been to 10 #BlackLivesMatter protests before tonight. Folks in the crowd are saying “stay by the llama and we won’t get gassed!” I hope they’re right! #PortlandProtests #KeepPortlandWeird
The crowd gathered at the downtown #Portland Marriott stretches around the corner and up several blocks, wall-to-wall. As the hotel where the DHS agents are believed to be staying came into view, the crowd began to chant, “Kick them out, Marriott!” #PortlandProtest
I’m at Alberta Park on July 25th covering a protest planned for NE Portland. #blacklivesmatter #PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong
Over a thousand people are now marching. #blacklivesmatter #PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong
Marching on Killingsworth. #blacklivesmatter #PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong
The #WallOfVets holding the frontline, using their bodies if need be, allowing protesters to practice their 1st Amendment right. Vets said during interviews “they took an oath to protect the Constitution.” So protect they shall do. #PortlandProtests
The #WallOfVets formed days after Navy vet Christopher David’s, aka Captain Portland, encounter w fed paramilitary agents. He was beaten with batons & maced in the face. Vets groups are now forming across the country through @VetsWall. #PortlandProtests
The number of people attending the #PortlandProtests really looks like the largest group thus far. A sea of Americans standing together & lending their voices as allies for both their neighbors & strangers. #BlackLivesMatter #WallOfMoms #WallOfVets #WallOfDads
"Constitution rights have been breached. That is criminal activity here in the United States. It must be stopped."
