Just talked to @PDocumentarians. Apparently the police did not declare an unlawful assembly or say much of anything. They simply blocked the road and said the march was blocking the road The march has turned around and is now going Elsewhere

Big crowd tonight. A strong shield wall. Tons of other journos out tonight! Fellow @defendpdx journos @R3volutionDaddy and @bogwitchenergy are here, along with: @hungrybowtie @JFlorencePDX @666hotdogs666 @PhrenologyPhun @Cascadianphotog @PDocumentarians @nogumbofornazis

As we walk, I ponder the "but you can't do that!" phenomenon. Liberals especially like this phrase. We're used to being a society of laws--especjally people privileged enough to receive police protection The truth is laws are paper and words. The police know this

The march changes direction again. This is going to get interesting

New chant: "Slow it down! Pass it up!" Useful and effective

Killingsworth. Jesus autocorrect wtf

Unlawful assembly declared. Claims of paintballs and other objects thrown at police

Reports of 3 K9s behind the line I love dogs but I don't love this development

Standoff. Shield wall on Mississippi just North of Killingsworth A few protesters are sitting in the intersection, facing the cops Riot cops coming down Mississippi from the South

Police once again order everyone to disperse. Safe to say no one's gonna do that "Everyone who ever loved you was wrong!" " No good cops in a racist system!"

Cops drive the protest to Peninsula Park. Lot of violence, not seeing a lot of arrests. They shoved @hungrybowtie HARD Currently loaded up on their riot vans, driving back and forth. I have footage but it's gonna take a second

In the present: another bullrush to Bryant and Albina. I got caught behind the line for most of it. They're so good at losing us in these dark streets The group has split slightly. Calls to regroup

Y'all there are LOT of them. Several riot vans, backed up half a block

Police lights approach the baby dumpster fire and the crowd begins to melt down Lombard

The LRAD sings its old song. Play it again, Sam Did you know they never actually say that line in Casablanca? Anyway, I think we're about to get bullrushes again

Riot line forming up by the dumpster fire a few blocks up. Protest wavers between standing its ground and continuing to move

The thing is, even though "Play it again, Sam" isn't even in Casablanca it's still the most famous quote A lot like how the Bill of Rights is one of the most famous things about America Our brains play tricks on us

Protest on the move. Scouts look for cops as the crowd attempts to avoid them. They flow like water through the residential streets

Cops find us and push us for a really long time. I got separated from the group but I did get told by the Boys in Blue that filming from my mom's basement isn't a real job Thanks boys, very professional Anyway my update is that I'm lost
