As we walk past houses, responses are mixed Someone opens their door and screams "Black Lives Matter!!" Someone stands out on his porch and watched wordlessly Someone peeks out from behind curtains. "We see you!!" someone with a megaphone shouts

The protesters with the megaphone yells at people to "get the fuck out of their houses" Then he says no one tells him what to do Then he says people who are black should be outside right now He is white Big yikes

Some other protesters are now having a rather heated conversation with the megaphone guy "Seems like an agitator" someone next to me remarks

I see the Heavenly Donuts sign ahead: a vision which does not exactly conjure visions of paradise at this point The building that stands opposite the shop--the PPA--is certainly not God's handiwork

Immediately the LRAD warns the protesters not to do crimes or "attempt to burn the building down" "Burn it down! guy with the megaphone shouts The crowd begins the chant: "Every City, Every Town: Burn the Precinct to the Ground"

No visible line of cops tonight for the first time in a long time. Trying something new? Or forming up down the street? Time will tell

The Awesome Moms, whomst I have been told are now called MU4BLM, have moved to the front Protesters mostly standing and chanting: "Black Lives Matter!" PPA building still not on fire

Brief chant: "what did you see? Didn't see shit!" PPA remains not on fire

A second dumpster fire burns: now one on each end of the protest I'd take a picture but come on, it's 2020, you know what a dumpster fire looks like

A keen-eyed protester has spotted a surveillance drone and is shining a truly impressive laser at it. His accuracy and skill is astounding. Surely this some kind of super-soldier

For those of you concerned about the state of the PPA: the PPA remains not in fire

Someone warns of an LRAD sighting. I'm not surprised There will be details about what's going on right now at a later time. All I can tell you for sure is that the PPA remains not on fire

LRAD declares an unlawful assembly without explanation

North Portland wifi continues to fuck with me. There will be video but clearly not now The police pushed us to Schofield and Denver, where protesters have erected a giant barricade. The police remain massed two blocks up

Barricade down, protest pushed to Brandon and Kilpatrick There are some activists who are very frustrated that the crowd is running from the armed riot cops I'm not sure what they want

Protest driven into Kenton Park. Something spicy in the air but my respirator is holding up "You're a bunch of cowards! Go home! You don't even live here! This is MY neighborhood! "

Someone is playing I Will Survive. God bless Protesters trying to get the crowd together and tight. The park makes this difficult. We're more used to streets

There's been some serious attrition. Maybe 150 people left

Police fire a large amount of what I think was smoke, then leave. My god there were a lot of them Crowd regrouping. Less attrition than I thought. They are water. They are flowing back
