I’m at Peninsula Park covering this protest. About 300 in the park currently. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest
The group of a few hundred protesters are now marching west, no specific destination has been named. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest
Some of the banners out tonight. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest
Still marching, but they have turned and are heading south. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest
Over 500 people now marching east in Portland. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest
The march approaches Portland Police Bureau’s North Precinct. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest
The crowd gets closer to the officers. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest
All of the officers have either gone inside their precinct or behind the gate where their vehicles are. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest
Police have left one of their car’s right in the open, even though they have multiple fenced off vehicle depots. Some folks in the crowd point out it could be bait. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
And yep it’s been spray painted. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
Looks like some Feds are in a pickup truck positioned about a block away from the precinct. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
There is a whole unlocked parking lot full of cop cars right next to the group of protesters. (The smoke in the background is a car crash btw) #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
LRAD showed up and told everyone to exit the parking lot or be subject to arrest, use of force, and crowd control munitions. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
People in the crowd yell “Be Water!” and the group moves a little west. LRAD shows up again and makes the same announcement. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
The group is now marching north on MLK Blvd. Unclear if we’re headed to a specific destination. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
Hundreds of people marching north in NE Portland. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
A small dispute with a driver, eventually with some de-escalation he flips around and drives off. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
Switched directions, but still marching. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
The march has arrived at the Police Union building in Northeast Portland. There are some dumpsters knocked over, but visible police presence. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
Dumperfires and LRAD are both present. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
At the PPA building right now, looks like there may be a fire inside. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
Riot declared and teargas is in use. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
Police fire off more teargas and advance on the crowd that was at the Police Union building #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
Portland Police Officers charge into the crowd. The Police tackle and arrest anyone they can grab. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
The police do a targeted rest on an individual. People in the crowd claim’s it’s cause she was yelling at the cops. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice
Police do another charge and use more teargas. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice #teargas
Protesters navigating through small residential streets. Police follow with riot control weapons. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice #teargas
The crowd had thoroughly disbursed into residential streets. I might head downtown soon. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandPolice #teargas
