And then we hear the LRAD and the dizzying hilarity wears off immediately Protest moves back slowly

If that sprint in my respirator didn't kill me, masks will never kill anyone. Several blocks. They wheel right and effectively block 3/4ths of the press from entering the residential neighborhood. Currently trying to find a way through

This thing where they force everyone into the sidewalk is another great way to stop press from doing their fucking jobs. It's nice to see them get creative I guess. Pair brutality with wily tactics: who needs arrests?

I've found the group. Serious kettling concerns expressed. Portland hasn't seen a kettle yet in all this time. Will this be the night? I kinda doubt it. Still, good to be aware

As we ran through residential streets to get here, someone yelled from inside their house: "Hey PPB! Last time I checked, this was a democracy!!" " No it isn't!" a protester yells back. "Not to them! Not anymore."

The group is pretty scattered but seems to be making its way back down the street @IwriteOK and @hungrybowtie tell me the police pushed a bit into the residential area, then left I can't believe it's only 11:00

The group has reconvened and paused. The Coup blasting. Protesters sitting, taking off masks. I do the same. The air is incredible on my skin A truck speeds through too fast, but no one is hurt

Protesters on the move, organizing to let cars through. Chanting George Floyd's name
