Made it to the North Precinct in Portland. There are about 100 protesters gathered outside. Police are stationed by their parking lot. #blacklivesmatter     #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice

Here’s a look at the cops stationed outside the precinct at the moment. #blacklivesmatter     #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice

Just chilling, waiting to call a riot. #blacklivesmatter     #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice

For the ongoing food story (check previous thread for details), I have acquired taquitos, mini tacos, and a coffee.

So it looks like controversial Portland Protest Bureau people have an interview set up with people from Vice, which could be why they were so insistent on moving the protest to North Precinct tonight.

Context about the fighting over the protest location from earlier in the night-

The reporter and film crew may actually be CNN. I know the reporter used to work for Vice previously.

The crowd moves up a little to the police cars. #blacklivesmatter      #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice

After wanting really hard for everyone to come to the North Precinct, Portland Protest Bureau people/Black Unity have left the protest, right after their CNN interview finished.

Crowd got super small so I am now home. Still mad about that restaurant canceling our pizza order.

Finishing note, the CNN reporter (previously Vice) messaged me saying that there was no previous communication with anyone from Black Unity/Portland Protest Bureau.
