At the Justice Center, Saturday night, 6/20. “Why Are You At Rev Hall?” projected on the side of the building. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
“Organiszers Don’t Work With Cops Ever.” #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Curious that the police don’t have their big lights on tonight. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
“The Revolution will not be at Rev Hall!” says one of protesters at Justice Center through a megaphone. They are Black for the record. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Someone who’s been trying to lead the group the past few nights is claiming we’re going to “Protest the right way tonight, we’re not gonna get teargassed.”
Also said “There are proud boys around.”
I’ve heard that every night and there’s been little to no confirmed incidents.
FENCE WARS #FENCEWARS #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland @sacredfence @PortlandFence
At the end of the #FENCEWARS video the camera panned down, and a few protesters proclaimed “Ted Wheelers House!” #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Maybe a little less than 500 people here right now. No police outside the Justice Center yet. People chanting “Black Trans Lives Matter!” #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
“DEFUND
DISARM
DISBAND”

Someone light off some fireworks on the north side of the building, the sound spooked a lot of people here. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
I choose to take advantage of the snack truck.
The crowd has been slowly thinning, but there are car barricades on each side of the car. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
More fireworks. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Some people started tearing down the fence. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police came out and started firing munitions into the crowd. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Some protesters try to put the fence back up, as police continue to fire into the crowd. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police- “Please stop with the lasers, this is a peaceful protest.”
Some protester’s- “Then why do you have your f***ing guns out?”
#Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
While shooting at protesters, the police demanded the fence to be put back up.
Some protesters obeyed the police’s demand. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
There has been an officer on a megaphone making demands to the crowd. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Portland Police Bureau on a vehicle loudspeaker saying “We have no intent to engage the crowd, please stay peaceful.” #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
The police (maybe sheriffs actually?) are asking the crowd to move to the park saying “The fence isn’t safe for anybody right now.”
The crowd responds “Quit your job”
#Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
This cop is laughing and recording the protesters on his own phone. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
It is usually impossible to hear the sheriff/officer on the megaphone. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
There is a Black women just roasting the Portland Police/Sheriffs right now on a megaphone that is much louder than the cops magaphone. I would pay to listen to this. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Still a few hundred people here, one section of the fence is pretty funky. Police warning “There are children in the crowd, please stay peaceful.” #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Looks like a police shift change. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police use bright flashlights to make it harder to see/record them. Umbrellas can be a great counter tool. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
A police car with an LRAD about a block away from the Justice Center. It’s trying to give warnings/threats to the crowd. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
A few bottles have been thrown from the crowd, the umbrellas are out in full force anticipating Police munitions. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Civil disturbance declared. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Riot police have showed up and are sending flash bangs into the crowd. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
More flash things and Police pushing the crowd back out of the park. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police more physical tonight then last night. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police smashing people with batons, shooting tons of foam tipped bullets, and firing flash bangs into crowds of people. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Sending more flash bangs into crowds of civilians. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police trying to hold the line at Main and 4th. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Some of the riot police pulled back. Still some police and sheriffs guarding the park. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
“I don’t see no riot here, take off your riot here” #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland #policeriot
Right before this clip the police threw at least 10 flash bangs into the crowd and started charging. Two flash bangs blew up right under my body, I can feel the burns. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence
After charging at, beating, and flash banging the sh*t out the people, the riot police are pulling back for the second time. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
This one firework initiated the police’s brutal charge and grenade deployment at the protesters. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
