March has taken off. Currently chanting “say his name! Jacob Blake!”

“No cops! No prisons! Total abolition! No ICE! No prisons! Total abolition!”

Riot declared 10:03 pm

#PortlandProtest riot declared

Successful de-arrest just occurred. Cop got maced after

Service is awful. Unable to tweet for the most part

Current standoff between protesters and the PPB. Crowd is chanting “say her name! Kendra James! Who killed her? PPB!”

The PPB arrested a medic and a member of the press. They violently pushed me and a handful of press to the ground. A canister was just thrown right at @PhrenologyPhun and I right before they left completely targeted

We’re out of there safely. Here’s an antifa cat in Bloc #Catifa @1misanthrophile @cdsupriyadi @PhrenologyPhun

I’ll upload some more footage once I can. Although my PHONES camera app was blocking me from filming as well

Teargas canister on fire

Everything in drafts can upload now lol

They arrested people that were hanging out in a parking lot

Another canister right to the feet. Another instance of targeting press in Portland.
