I'm here at the Floyd Light Park Black Lives Matter event where I spoke with a gentleman from #WallofVets, Paul Swortz, and he's with a handful of others with the group. Less than 100 gathered here in the park, many clad in black. #koin6news
Here's an interview with Mr. Swortz. He said he is here for Black Lives Matter. He said he doesn't necessarily condone more violent modes of protest, as seen last night at PPB East Precinct across the street, but is here to observe. #koin6news

About a couple dozen people here for a planned protest and march against police brutality at the north end of Laurelhurst Park. Not much activity so far, but Portland Resistance Assistance and ACLU legal observers are here. People slowly trickling in. #koin6news
