Further context: there are inmates in the justice center awaiting trial, Multnomah county sheriff is charged with their care while in custody. If protestors breached the fence, that would likely give the sheriff the legal justification to use tear gaspic.twitter.com/8DdCQ4CFgc

It should be noted: the fence caved in like this probably would have been enough, in previous nights, for PBB to declare unlawful assembly and use tear gas. Tonight, police are still standing out of sight, shooting pepper balls from a distance.pic.twitter.com/iGJOl3lIwO
