A surreal announcement from the Portland Police Bureau asking protesters to respect each other while protesters exchange paintball fire This is not an unlawful assembly, apparently: this is fine by the PPB. Very cool

The far right charges into the park, macing indiscriminately, beating people, brawling This is, apparently, not a riot. After all, not a single water bottle was thrown
