I’m here for the protest by the east precinct in Portland on Thursday, Aug 6th. I got here a bit early to scope things out. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Some “Blue Lives Matter” messages are posted on the side of the building. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice 
Right after I arrived, a team of officers went to remove two dumpsters in the area. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The dumpers have been moved into the police garage. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
There are a few folks gathering in front of the precinct for “Patriot” counter event.
The leader expressed that she would like to drive a truck through protesters sometime. She also said that she wished the pickup that almost hit people at the PPA on Tuesday would have killed someone.
Some of pro police people in front of the precinct are just people from the neighborhood that saw what happened last night. Not solely “patriot” types.
I’ve moved to the park where the protesters are gathering, about 150-200 here right now. Grills are out too. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Portland Police Officers looking through binoculars towards the crowd of people gathering across the street. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
This is extent of the pro police neighbors and “Patriot” folks out by the precinct tonight. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The police told the counter protesters they should probably leave the area, only four remain now. Most protesters are still in the park.
The Wall of Vets have moved up across from the precinct. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice #WallofVets
As the whole march just arrives at the precinct, the LRAD announces that they think the crowd’s intention is to “burn down” the building, and are already issuing warnings. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #portlandpolice
Two of the security cameras have been removed. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
After some paint was thrown onto the plywood covering the precinct, LRAD announces this has been declared an unlawful assembly. Orders to move north. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The vast majority of the crowd is peaceful standing in the street during this “unlawful assembly.” #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
First trash fire of the night, behind the plywood is the brick wall of the precinct. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The fire is small and contained, it’s not growing to catch the plywood, and again behind the plywood is a brick wall. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
An old lady puts out the fire. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Well that didn’t last long. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Police recording the crowd from the roof, and the LRAD unlawful assembly announcement again. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Some of the paint from tonight. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Police officers and state troopers have showed up. Also a final look at the small trash fire. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The crowd turns east and officers rip the tires of the snack van. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
An officer tried to slap @45thabsurdist’s phone out of their hand, then when that failed an officer just pushed them around. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The police do a charge on Stark St. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The police and state troopers form a line after they charged for a few blocks. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
After a few minutes the state troopers roll out. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
During an arrest in a side lawn, a block away from the group the protesters, the police shoot off a fee smoke grenades. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
And officer confiscates a smokebomb canister from a member of the press. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The cops fire off some more smoke and drive off. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
After a few minutes of the crowd marching back in the direction of the precinct, a police line shows up behind them. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The cops do a charge at the crowd. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Another bull rush from the police, multiple people assaulted and pushed over. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
More cop charges and a police line is formed. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Some officers harass the NLG during another rush. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
An officer yells at someone flipping him off that they are under arrest. No attempts to arrest the individual are made. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The police form another line, but the crowd is long gone. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
It took me a few minutes to find the crowd, then a couple minutes later the police found the crowd as well. Then the cops chased people through a mall parking lot for 20 minutes. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #portlandpolice
After the silly (and ridiculously long) mall parking lot chase, about 50 protesters made it back to the precinct. Where a police line awaited them. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The police hold at a street corner a couple blocks from the precinct. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Out of east Portland and safe.
