Hi there, it's Friday and I'm at Kenton Park along with probably 200 protesters. Music faintly plays. The crowd relaxes, for now

Let's see what Night 99 brings

#PortlandProtests #PortlandRiots #PortlandProtest #BlackLivesMatter     #PoliceBrutality #DefendPDX

Looks like the police are gathering also: https://twitter.com/F8thInStrangers/status/1302095915121950720?s=19

I have finally attained my very own squeeky pig. My life is complete

Robust support here tonight. PDX Resistance Assistance serving ribs. Zine station. Snack Bloc with the necessities. NLG and medics sharing a tent

Lotta block tonight. Good numbers

A facilitator gets on the megaphone and discusses the now-common knowledge that the police are waiting for the group, in force, at the PPA

What to do?

Plans are discussed

An activist talks about tomorrow's events: two sit-ins, a car caravan, and a direct action march

It's gonna be a big day

I overhear some protesters talk about worries of the far right showing up. They've certainly been threatening it

A new (to me) fighter enters the arena!

"We Got Us"

If I were a cop, I would want to arrest as many people tonight as I could. Deterrance for Night 100 festivities tomorrow

Hopefully I'm wrong about that but my prediction is a high number tonight

The protest arrives at the Portland Police Association building

DJ LRAD immediately orders the 200+ person protest to move to the sidewalk

DJ LRAD stresses that direction to move onto the sidewalk applies to press and legal observers as well as protesters

It orders the car portion of the protest to move or be towed

Boy howdy it's a lot of riot cops tonight

The activist on the megaphone reminds the crowd that they will rush. To be prepared. To pick up the megaphone if he goes silent and keep this going

A chant for Daniel Prude, the man asphyxiated by Rochester police. The coroner ruled homicide, but the police reported an overdose

The officers were suspended...but only after it became a national news story

Think about how many cases just like this one that we don't know about

A white car speeds through the crowd. No injuries

DJ LRAD commands protesters to move out of their road for their own safety. "Vehicles may not stop for you. This endangers your own lives"

Sure sounds like a threat to me

"Hey, do you want some soup for your family? We've got soup!"

It's been a good year for memes

I was always bad at thread integrity but this new conversation mode is not improving things. Thread continues here: https://twitter.com/1misanthrophile/status/1302111809315287041?s=19
