Riot line push protesters to 9th and Madison. At least 1 arrest Then they get on their riot vans and drive off It wasn't a big line, but then again it's not a big crowd Protest regroups, begins to move
As I pressed send tweet on that arrest video a cop line manifested and pushed us several blocks, to 12th and Salmon Worth noting we were NOT moving towards the MSCO at the time They've left again for now
Police use batons to beat the shit out of a small protester carrying a speaker
Then they let the protester go
Because brutality is the point

It has now been 0 days since I twisted my ankle for literally no good reason. I think it's ok but I'll have to wait for the adrenaline to wear off Sheer clumsiness, all my fault
Taking a nice, loud walk through Ladd's addition "Out of your houses, into the streets!" "No justice, no peace!" My God these houses are large. What would you even do with all these rooms?!
The protest stops in an intersection and takes a vote. Back to the precinct? Or keep waking up the rich people? Vote concluded. We're on the move again
Riot cops met us and pushed to Sandy and 7th. Still pushing Not the worst rush we've experienced
The riot line has left but cop cars are circling like sharks I think it's just a scare tactic "They're tired from rushing 2 blocks!" someone quips. They did do a good double time there at the end
We once again have the phenomenon wherein the protest is small enough to fit onto the wide sidewalks, which is basically what's happening Hard to bullrush that kind of crowd Just hanging out at Sandy and Oak
Some mild arguments "Who is leading the march, because staying here is stupid!" "Buncha white people leading this march..." "Can we get some options so we can voice our opinion?"
And the riot ban has returned with much fanfare
We're still standing here. There is now a dumpster fire
Portland Protest Bureau/Black Unity/Whatever, in bloc, are taking charge
We've returned to the park and I'm gonna return home. I think the night is over and my ankle could definitely use some ice Solidarity to everyone still out here!
