The current scene at the federal courthouse. There are about 300 protesters behind me. #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
About 500 people chanting Black Lives Matter at federal officers inside the courthouse that have shot impact rounds and deployed large amounts of teargas at the nonviolent crowd. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
A sonic weapon is being used through a small window in the wall of the courthouse. It definitely hurts. #blacklivesmatter    #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
This is the best look at the sonic weapon I can get right now. Lots of the crowds has earplugs on now, or just doesn’t care. #blacklivesmatter    #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Feds saying “The use of a laser on a federal officer is assault, force can be used against you.” #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
As we cross midnight, a lot of cameras descend to watch and record the federal officers. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Feds have given a “last warning” to move back. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
A lot of teargas just used, videos soon.
The beginning of the tear gas brigade. Feds also shooting a lot of munitions into the crowd. #teargas #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Protesters using Hong Kong tactics to put out a canister, then officers deploy a canister, hitting me with it and it falling into my bag. I have PRESS marked on my helmet. #teargas #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #teargas
More teargas being deployed in the street and park. Officers trying to shoot me as I record. There were no protesters behind me as they shot in my direction. #teargas #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The last of this perticular tear gas brigade. #teargas #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
People chant “Fuck the Feds!” Maybe half the people dispersed by the teargas have come back to the park. #teargas #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Federal officers advance up to the street. #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Feds yelling “If you follow an officer into the curb, you will be gassed!” #teargas #blacklivesmatter    #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #teargas
The tear gas strikes back. This is the third distinct tear gassing of the night. #teargas #blacklivesmatter     #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The street and park are engulfed in teargas once again. #teargas #blacklivesmatter     #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Massive cloud of teargas around the entire street in front of the federal courthouse. #teargas #blacklivesmatter     #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The officers are periodically shooting pepper balls into the crowd. #teargas #blacklivesmatter     #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The officers close the doors to the courthouse and the crowd cheers. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The federal officers are still watching from the window. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The feds charge out the courthouse and tackle and arrest a few individuals. Then they deploy tear gas into the park. #teargas #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Federal officers push people out of the park and use more teargas. #teargas #blacklivesmatter      #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
After tear gassing the park yet again, the officers decided to tear gas the street. #teargas #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
More tear gas in the streets of Portland. The Portland Police have finally made an appearance and declared downtown “closed.” #teargas #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The initial charge didn’t make it into the clip that I posted four tweets ago for some reason. Here is the feds moving into the park. #teargas #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The federal officers and Portland Police Bureau push people west towards broadway. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Federal officers and PPB holding the line at Broadway. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The federal officers begin to leave, PPB stays to hold on Broadway. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Portland Police Bureau leave. The protesters don’t advance east toward the courthouse or Justice Center. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
I am safe and out of downtown.
