Tonight antifascist activists set a small fire at the front of the Portland Police Association in Portland, Oregon at their march for "No cops! No prisons! Total abolition!"
Police pressed in, arresting two.
When police departed the scene, they threatened to mace press if they were followed.
As the beginning of the demonstration, police called out the demonstration that "we are aware of your criminal activity occurring" basically right as it began.
By that point, spray paint was used but otherwise it was speeches and blowing bubbles.
"Fuck Joe Biden" said an antifa activist to cheers from the crowd.
"Fuck you Joe Biden, you're a piece of shit," he added. "We hate you. We hate you Joe Biden. Biden, you can't fool us."
After the police mostly seemed to have left and things were calming down (and many press, including me also left), it appears police swooped in to make more arrests.
