Still over 1,000 people marching south, I don’t know where they are headed. #blacklivesmatter

Crossing the Steel Bridge. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong

The march turns onto 3rd Ave, undoubtably headed to the courthouse. Roughly 1,000 people, but they are getting tired. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong

And the march has arrived at the federal courthouse. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong

As I arrive, teargas is already in the air. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

So many leafblowers at the front line. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

There were already thousands of people at the courthouse even before the march from the NE showed up. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

The crowd is dispelling teargas at an amazing efficiency. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

I moved a whole block south to see the justice center. This is the other half of the crowd, yes half. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

The Feds retreated inside after being covered in pink paint. Also the part of the fence they shoot out of has been coated in caulking. #blacklivesmatter
#Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms

We got sparks flyin’ #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

Pepper bullets being shot at people messing with the steel fence. Leafblowers quick to blow the pepper away. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

There has been no visible presence of federal officers in quite a while. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

Even since the Feds went inside (due to being covered in paint) it’s just been a few thousand people standing around, occasionally shaking a steel fence or throwing a firework. #BlackLivesMatter
#pdx #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms

The Feds just shot teargas down from the roof. #blacklivesmatter
#PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

About a minute later somebody lit a firework and it blew right at the spot on the roof where teargas was being shot from. #blacklivesmatter
#Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

More teargas shot far into the crowd. #blacklivesmatter

The Portland police Bureau continues to give it out announcements on the LRAD but I see federal troops shooting teargas. #blacklivesmatter
#Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere

Kinda unclear who is using teargas, the LRAD is saying it’s Portland Police, but I see a lot of camo. #blacklivesmatter

Footage doesn’t look great cause my camera is still covered in mace at this point, but here the Portland Police actually shows up and pushes me onto the ground. #blacklivesmatter
#Protests #pdx #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #WallOfVets #wallofmoms

Portland Police illegally ordering press, me specifically, onto the sidewalk. I informed him of the federal restraining order from dispersing press. #blacklivesmatter
