The part at the end of that video is the cop forcibly stopping my phone from recording and trying to throw my phone on the ground. He told me I would go to jail if I didn't stop filming But he didn't arrest me. Because he fucking can't It's intimidation and I'm done with it

The group has been severely scattered. It was never big enough for this And that's the real reason it's been declared a riot: not because the crowd poses a danger, but because it doesn't. Because it's easy to bully

I really can't imagine this group forming back up. It was so small and it is so scattered I've been wrong before though

Just spoke to some residents who came out to see what was going on. We explained. They were flabbergasted about the barricade destruction. "Those have been up for weeks for businesses to operate outside. Did they forget about COVID?!" "Well, they don't wear masks, so probably"

Back at the PPA where there are maybe 20 people. Even the police can't be assed. They speed by. One of them does the shaka shake as he drives by. 3 or 4 police cars, none of them use their turn signal. If only there was some public safety organization we could call about that

20 or 30 protesters have decided to resume chanting "black lives matter" next to the PPA: an activity which the LRAD immediately reminds everyone constitutes a riot

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

Because Portland has failed to pass meaningful police reform, never mind develop a plan for abolishing the police and replacing them with institutions that actually protect and serve the people
