Officers begin to leave:

Someone grabbed an officers bike as he tried to leave, the tug of war turns into a big scuffle.

About 15 more officers in cars just arrived. This feels like the a middle school recess fight?

Black bloc group chants “move back”
at the police line. They do.

Officer throws gas, smells like CS?

Police have disappeared for now.

Abandoned:

Folks are asking if we can march, “because staying in one place isn’t safe.” Marching has begun!

Group leaves west on Stark:

Vibe:

Crowd chants: “Fuck trump, fuck biden too, none of them give a fuck about you.”

A PPB loudspeaker (LRAD) tells crowd to move to sidewalk or “risk arrest.”

Headed west on 7th towards Grand. Folks yell “take the bridge!” Front of march:

Seems like this crowd isn’t in agreement about where they’re marching. Stalling in the middle of Grand by the I 84 on ramp.

Here’s the scene:

Police make another announcement, and the group decides to march toward them.

Group is pausing at the Democratic Party of Oregon HQ on Everett.

Windows broken.

People enter the building. Doesn’t seem like anyone’s inside.

A number of homeless campers set up across the street are yelling at the group to leave. “Now they’re going to make us move! We live here!”

Bike cops approaching:

Group is clustered by NE Glisan and 15. Police say there’s an investigation taking place nearby, and that people must leave the area. At neighboring soccer field, kids’ practices are at a standstill.

A scuffle just broke out. Bike cops jump on a person, seem to be arresting them on the ground.

Two people arrested, handcuffed. Officers stand between them and the crowd.
