[Thread] There has been alot of assumptions and misinformation about racial demographics of #PortlandProtests, as well as right wing propaganda claiming "violence" is being allowed by the DA. First I'll address race...
2/In this very white city, only 6% percent of Portland is Black, but 10% of arrestees are black. Portland Police have also been labeling POC as white. This means that even at protests against racist policing, black people are disproportionately impacted. ImageImage
3/ This also shows there aren't a lack of black folks protesting nightly. 75% of charges are for things that have nothing to do with property damage or violence. This means cops are mainly arresting people for protesting (calling it interfering, disorderly or failure to obey). Image
