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.

200 left-wing protesters are on the streets in Portland right now, with anti-Biden and anti-police messages.

"We are ungovernable," one sign says.
The Portland crowd has now gone to the local headquarters of the Democratic Party, smashing windows and writing "Fuck Biden"
Seeing some criticism for calling the crowd "left wing," which was my shorthand to make clear that it isn't Trump supporters on the streets of Portland. The longer version is that the crowd is a mix of racial-justice, anti-fascist, anarchist, youth liberation, etc

People in the crowd are saying they have spent months supporting law enforcement, including at "Back the Blue" rallies, and now say they won’t.

“I stand with antifa now,” someone shouted. Someone suggested creating a Patriot Autonomous Zone.
A video from earlier: The group chanting "Let us in" and kicking the door. And then one person in the crowd sneezes.
