I am here in very east Portland, at the first rally to target the east Precinct. The march just started.
The two outer security cameras have been disabled by paint.
A view of the rear of the precinct, next to Big Lots, where a detachment of activists have gathered to protect one flank. The back of the building is currently empty appearing. As is the parking garage, although officers were posted there earlier.
The LRAD has arrived, and demanded that all peaceful protesters leave.
Interestingly this LRAD is using the new kinder, gentler warning that the PPB trotted out last night for the first time.
The front door of the Precinct has received a new decoration.
A lot has been said in the last couple of days about how radicalized the moms at these events are or are not. Their "we are going to fuck shit up chant" seems pretty direct.
Protesters are now trying to break in.
Police are present both inside the building and now on our flanks. The shield wall has formed up in front of the doors.
People are really trying their darndest to get in there.
People are now hammering on the window with a heavy black wrench. Police windows are very tough, it turns out.
Now that this has been declared a riot, the Riot Bard has appeared. While the direct action crew hammers the door, protesters near them chant "You got my back, I got your back."
Things are very spicy at the precinct door.
