Holy shit - national guard and homeland security out here HEAVY tonight. They outnumber us 2-1 #portlandprotest #BLMpdx

And more come out to the front line. Easily 30+ surrounding the fed building? #portlandprotest #blmpdx

Someon in the middle of 3rd & main is giving out free hard hat helmets! Very cool! Also, someone is letting off loud fireworks behind the crowd and inciting panic. Everyone gears up #portlandprotest #blmpdx

Crowd starts bonfire at base of old elk statue almost immediately

And just like that, more than half of the crowd leaves. Funny how that happens naturally when the police leave as well. Chud with bullhorn comes out of fed building again telling people the building is closed and threatens arrest.

Funny that most of them have gas masks on and some of them have NO MASKS Whatsoever. #portlandprotest #blmpdx
