Lots of shields here tonight, some folks were doing a practice routine. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice

The march begins. Over 300 people gathered. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The group is now marching on Burnside. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The march has arrived at the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. I expect this crowd to face a lot of push back from the police tonight. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Some officers advance close to the crowd, attempting to take down the shield wall. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
That shield practice in the park paid off. This could be the strongest phalanx I’ve seen yet. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Police on the LRAD declare an unlawful assembly. Orders to leave east and the regular threats of force. Usually at this location orders are to leave west. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The mood is very tense, people unsure what direction the cops will show up from. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
No police rush yet. Lots of LRAD warnings. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Most people here are just jamming to some music. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Someone walked up closer to the building and the police quickly arrested them. #blacklivesmatter     #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
This has been a pretty uneventful “unlawful assembly” so far. #blacklivesmatter     #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Police moved their line forward a bit. #blacklivesmatter      #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The phalanx forms back up. #blacklivesmatter      #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Looks like apples are being thrown towards the cops. #blacklivesmatter      #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Police return fire with what looks like smoke canisters and impact rounds. #blacklivesmatter      #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Back to the regular ole stand off. The exchange of projectiles have paused. #blacklivesmatter      #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
I called it a night a tad early due being pretty tired after multiple really late nights. Thankfully there’s lots of other press out tonight.
While I was getting ready to sleep one of the fine folks from @45thabsurdist streamed when the police finally did their push. https://twitter.com/45thabsurdist/status/1292007958465847298?s=20
