I would like to reiterate that this riot constitutes people shouting "black lives matter" and clapping in time to the chant

Police strike suddenly and with great speed. Many arrests They chase protesters down a side street, then chase. Then back up again. A protester is led away in zip cuffs. "You can't expect me to follow conflicting orders!" he exclaims

Heavenly Donuts is now broadcasting an extremely good and informatively speech about Oregon's racist history and how that history mirrors the white supremacy of America as a whole This is incredible

Receiving word that an elderly resident of the Kenton neighborhood was shot in the leg with a paintball round while she tried to restore the legal, official neighborhood barriers that the cops tore down

Someone throws a glass bottle at the cops. They flag the whole crowd with their weapons. No shots fired. Things remain tense The Heavenly Donuts speaker (which is apparently a protest speaker there with permission) begins to play Amazing Grace

The police leave. A truly astounding number of cop cars and riot vans head out. Everyone here should be deeply honored at how much of a threat they consider you
