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

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

0:23More shoving of press from earlier. Conflicting orders, impossible to follow#PortlandProtests#blacklivesmatter #PoliceBrutality#ACAB pic.twitter.com/GDlEcAo496Show this thread -
Maybe 1/4 of the protest starts to move out. The rest scream at them to come back. They don't seem to be listening Weekend problems, man. Larger numbers, less cohesion
Show this thread -
Now an activist is yelling a protesters for staying in the park because "black folks never get a break" It's so easy to tell who hasn't been out here every night. Taking breaks are a way to ensure everyone is recovered, maintaining cohesion, and keeping the cops on their toes

Op and the person on the mic is talking about how they've been here since day 1 Man, there were about a thousand people out here on Day 1, just ask them I wasn't. I was out on Day 2. Day 1 was maybe 30 people. Day 2 was maybe 100

Sorry, this maybe isn't constructive but I'm real tired of this shit Anyway we're moving now probably

A resident is yelling at the protest. The protest is yelling at the resident "Slow down in the front!!" Not the most organized night we've ever had

You're not gonna believe this but because we didn't wait, the cops are still right here Shocking, I know. But at least we aren't being privileged so it's all worth it Riot time

Oh cool all press and legal observers have been allowed to leave Very legal

We seem to be surrounded There is nowhere to move. Everyone on the sidewalk "Where do you want us to go?" They keep telling us to move This won't end well

They decided not to kettle us. Let us know they could and then let us pass Same old shit with the press. Keeping us to the sidewalk, keeping us behind them. They have learned to brutalize with impunity. I have to get better

Reinforcements have arrived. Preparing to charge. Or retreat like last time. Who knows

Notice there's no arrest here. A brutal slam. Catch and release The idea is to hurt people extralegally

The police have just announced that along with throwing stuff at the police and setting the precinct on fire, protesters have also "set local businesses ablaze" I certainly haven't seen any local fires

Small group moving down Argyle past Burrage. "Cops two blocks up! Moving parallel!" The smaller the group gets, the more dangerous it is Not sure where everyone else is
Show this thread -
The group pauses. Figures out where everyone else is. Gets ready to try and rejoin them "If they come through, say 'hands up don't shoot!' " I'm not as optimistic but we'll see

I'm the only press with this group. I'm hearing they did that thing where they kept the press back and then sprinted. I ran across a road at the last minute and I guess that made all the difference
