Police just cleared a group from the corner of Sixth and Morrison ... firing less-lethal rounds of some sort. Pepper spray smell in the air.pic.twitter.com/Wn8vPXglw3

I hope
@PortlandPolice can use this video to arrest the people who did this. This is just uncalled for. -
It’s blatant assault but they hide behind masks so they won’t be found

Since when is it ever ok to have 10, 20 big so called men pick on one guy? What gets me really angry is not one freaking person tried to help him.

I don’t know what video you saw but I definitely saw one man attempt to stop him from being attacked, only to be then set upon by the rest of the group. Absolutely disgusting to see this kind of behaviour and a total disregard to human life.

This is what happens when you never tell your kids “no” OR ever let them lose at anything.
