The far-right groups stood across the street and laughed as they watched police deploy explosive devices on their adversaries.
In the latest episode of a familiar, violent dance, Portland police deployed explosive devices and chemical irritants at antifascist protesters who arrived on the waterfront to confront right-wing marchers.
The far-right groups, led by U.S. Senate candidate Joey Gibson and a men's fraternity called the Proud Boys, stood across the street and laughed as they watched police deploy "flash-bangs" on their adversaries.
Shortly before 2 pm, police gave multiple orders for people standing at Southwest Naito Parkway and Columbia Street to move west.
Antifascist protesters refused to comply. Some put their hands up. Others banged on plastic shields and shouted "Whose streets? Our streets."
After several announcements over loudspeaker, officers fired several flash bangs into the crowd. Bitter smoke filled the air and people began to scramble west.
Antifascists scrambled for cover near the waterfront Marriott as riot police followed them, shooting off crowd-control devices like pepper balls at the retreating protesters. Someone knocked over a port-a-potty in the chaos, as smoke clouded the streets.

I’m amazed the cops didn’t just stand back and let armed Antifa attack disarmed Proud Boys. This is a better outcome than I expected.
“Somebody knocked over a portapotty...”
is that like knocking over a gas station or a liquor store? I suppose it’s all you can carry.
Portland may be ultra-liberal but the police do their job.
I have seen other videos where the Portland police take down people when they break the law.
A group of people were blocking a bus and they were body slammed by the police.
Oh, they sting alright.
loo-ters?
The author/s left out the part about Antifa terrorists throwing rocks and bottles at the police.
Police deploy flash bangs, say projectiles thrown at officers during Portland protests

They are a communist hardliner paramilitary.
Insanity of the far left fascist fans in full display.
Assorted videos otta be good for several laughs.
This was great. Proud Boys just stood there laughing at the “Kinetic Schadenfreude” unfolding before their eyes.
An innocent oversight, I'm sure.

God, I love when a plan comes together.
