Reminded the cops that the last time they kettled a crowd opposing bigots they got sued up the ass. But the city pays for it, so...

Police have told people detained to go to 14th to exit. Line formed to get out of kettle. But most are on 13th chanting at riot cops

Portland Police are taking everyone's ID and labeling people with duct tape. One cop confirmed law suits were thrown out last time the kettled, but couldn't keep all the info they collected illegally

Police are forcing press out of kettle

Pigs just grabbed the pig

They gave up on this one

Cop tries to persuade protesters to leave, says all they are doing is IDing

There is a large and loud protest outside the kettle now on NW 13th and Marshall

Portland Police say they are opening street, being in street is illegal and everyone will be escorted out

Now huddling to brainstorm

Then changed their mind

Protest outside kettle continues. About 30 protesters left inside kettle

I was sitting on the sidewalk inside kettle covering events when they tried to force me to leave. Threatened arrest for Interfering with a police officer if I didn't leave and give them all my personal info.

Cop taking picture of me with duct tape with name and birthrate on my chest

Cops took my pepper spray. They said I can't have it because I committed crimes, that is untrue. Then changed to I don't get pepper spray to go into the crowd, I said I am leaving (forced by them), he said but you were in crowd. Then he just threatens to arrest me
