#PortlandProtests day 52

New chant “defund PPB by 50% at least/ where should that money go/to black communities”

Moms in helmets in front of the federal courthouse

Federal agents use flashbang, the moms don’t move

“This is not a riot, this is a revolution”

How does Portland feel about federal agents on city streets?

It’s 11:17pm on a Sunday night and moms in helmets are standing in between Federal agents and the youth

Federal agents used flashbangs, they returned to the federal courthouse

For context: here is the crowd, the fence, and the door where federal agents are hunkered in. They are not standing outside.

The fence is shaken by protestors, moms adjust their goggles and facemask in anticipation of federal response

Federal agents issue arrest warning, use of force warning

Protestors took down a section of the fences, moms in helmets moved in to stand in front of youth in case federal officers came out

Youth atop the fence. Moms in helmets locking arms on the front line.

#PortlandProtests day 53

40min after this area was blanketed in tear gas, riot ribs @riotribs is back

Because of covid lockdown, this is one of the biggest lines to get into a restaurants at this hour in months

This is the scene after tear gassing,: protestors are chanting and one even has a balloon. Day 53

Some people aren’t who they were when this started 53 days, there’s still fear, but protestors tell each to “walk don’t run” from tear gas. Spirits return faster, minutes after tear gas clears, everyday seemingly less afraid to stand up to against the threat of force

I am out downtown.
