I’m at Laurelhurst park in Portland, where there is a march planned for this evening. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong

A Black person in black bloc saying that “You’re no different from the Police if you police other people’s protest. I’ve been whitewashed cause I wear black [clothes].”

It appears people are preparing to march soon, the specific destination has not been determined yet.

The March has began, the destination was voted on. #blacklivesmatter

The march has arrived at the east Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. #blacklivesmatter

Only a few officers out at the moment. #blacklivesmatter

A few more cops up front now. Also one petting a dog statue. #blacklivesmatter

I count 12 officers on the ground and 2 on the roof. The crowd size is about at 200 people.

Two undercover cops cars a block east, one drove away eastbound and the other headed north (in the very beginning of the clip).

One cop is weirdly debating members of the crowd.
Crowd- “What’s your name?”
Cop- “None of your business.”
Crowd- “I cant see your name tag.”
Cop- “You’ll find it eventually, keep looking.”

Police announcing on a newly arrived LRAD to not enter the precinct. #blacklivesmatter

A whole lot of cops showed up, and they just declared an Unlawful Assembly. Orders to disperse south and west. I haven’t even seen a water bottle thrown from the protesters. #blacklivesmatter

Big push from the Portland Police, videos soon.

The officers move into the street and begin to pressure westward. #blacklivesmatter

The police charge toward a bicycle with a headlight and beat up multiple people. #blacklivesmatter

The cops make their second charge and assault. #blacklivesmatter

The crowd makes a turn and the police rip a car’s tires. #blacklivesmatter

Police continue to push, it gets very dark once we enter purely residential streets. #blacklivesmatter

As I’m walking on the sidewalk, holding my press pass, an officer grabs my arm. I decide to run. #blacklivesmatter

#protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong

Police not letting up. #blacklivesmatter

#protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong

A third big charge and assault from the police. #blacklivesmatter

#protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong

The police form a riot line, they tell press to leave the area, we were on the sidewalk. #blacklivesmatter

#protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong

The group then moved away from the riot line and eventually started to march broadly back in the direction of the precinct.

A few riot vans showed up multiple blocks away from the precinct. #blacklivesmatter

A cop walks up close to me and @IwriteOK and threatens us with pepper spray. #blacklivesmatter

#protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong

It’s pretty dark, but if you look closely you can see the police assault and thrown journalist @FancyJenkins (white helmet) onto the hood of the car. He got badly maced. #blacklivesmatter

Here we have the police filming the protest from a riot van, which is currently illegal per a new court order. @ACLU_OR #blacklivesmatter

Officers form another riot line and yell and make demands at mostly press. #blacklivesmatter

As a riot van drives away, a cop points a can of pepper spray at the press. #blacklivesmatter

As some press walk back to our cars, we find someone has put out water bottles for protesters to grab in front of their house. #Portland #protest #BlackLivesMatter
