More “riot” police at Davis and Naito. Currently a standoff. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
LRAD was just blaring “the street is open to traffic” and now the group is on the move again. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
As the crowd is moving away, a few cops charge forward. Unclear why, but they don’t manage to grab anyone. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
As the police are blocking the MAX tracks, they command the protesters to get off the tracks or face arrest/use of force. The crowd has already demonstrated the willingness and ability to let the MAX through. Police however have not.
And we’re back here. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice

The crowd has moved to the front of the Justice Center and surrounding parks. This area is home to where most of the teargas has been used in Portland. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Sound on! Weirdest LRAD remix I’ve heard.
In actual news, LRAD is telling people to get off the street and stay on the sidewalk. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice

The people threatening to ruin a perfectly reasonable street dance party. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Portland Police have just “closed” a massive section of downtown to pedestrians. Threatening arrest and teargas. The past hour of protests have been a concert/dance party. No violence at all from protesters tonight. #blacklivesmatter #acab #PortlandProtest #portlandpolice
Right cops have shown up to move the crowd, this has not been declared an unlawful assembly nor a riot. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Police bull rush on Madison. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Police push someone over on Madison and Broadway. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Police charge to arrest famous Portland Protest drummer Tabitha Poppins. She was lawfully crossing the street from sidewalk to sidewalk, past the “closed” zone. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Cops roll out after doing a series of arrests in this non-riot and “lawful assembly.” #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Riot van pulls up as the crowd marches back to the Justice Center, and arrests someone flipping the police off. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice

Police charge out to make another series of arrests. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Interesting that Portland Police was actually talking to this “press” member. They rarely talk to press. He was giving police a link to his livestream to watch. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
The officer they were speaking to knew their channel by name already. Cops also took one of their business card, which for some reason they gave to me, during an argument about why I thought it was noteable the police were talking to them specifically.
As police arrest a houseless person, they begin throwing up on the ground and then cops start pushing press. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
The man begins to go into a seizure, folks tell the police to turn off their sirens due to the flashing lights. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
The man continues to seize on the sidewalk. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
Ambulance arrives and loads the man up. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
The ambulance drives off, cops leave soon after. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #PortlandProtest #pdxprotest #portlandpolice
