In Portland tonight, there have been vigils for Daunte Wright. Now a crowd of about 250 is moving through the streets toward a police precinct.

"Every city. Every town. Burn the precincts to the ground."

At the precinct, officers come out towards the crowd. Some in the crowd throw fireworks.

"Say his name: Daunte Wright," the crowd chants in Portland. At the front, there's a dumpster ablaze.

After some in the crowd threw rocks through the precinct windows, a group of officers came out and shot some crowd-control munitions, then retreated.

Officers have come out in force to pursue the crowd

Conflict and pursuit

A bull rush, with officers knocking several people to the ground.

I'm done for the night. Portland police haven't reported any arrests, and I didn't see any take place. Follow @NickAtNews for happenings in the Minneapolis area tomorrow.
