Growing tensions between protesters and the Portland Police Bureau erupted in violence today, as riot police tackled and shot projectiles at a President's Day demonstration.
Video captured at the protest shows a demonstrator confronting police on Southwest 6th Avenue, then being tackled and shot with non-lethal projectiles.
Today's protest, organized by the group Don't Shoot Portland, was officially labeled a "Not My President's Day" protest against President Donald Trump. But protests of Trump have increasingly intersected with marches against police violence, as anti-police sentiments have grown in the wake of the Feb. 9 shooting of black teenager Quanice Hayes.
Around 100 protesters blocked roads in downtown today, and police swooped in on bicycles and quickly pushed protesters to sidewalk, threatening arrest of those who remained in the road. Some remained in the road and riot police arrested several people.

Pepper spray = protestor deodorant
The look on her face when she was grabbed by the police and dragged into their ranks was priceless! It was the same look that was on the face of the swimmer in the opening scene of JAWS just before she went under water ...
Those folks ant normal in any way.....put the tear gas on their asses......to hell with pepper spray.
The attempt to block/close a road or a bridge needs to a much more serious crime. I’m thinking 5 to 10 sounds about right with no suspended sentence possible.
Interesting how some police, such as at San Jose, and Berkley, just stood by and let rioters assault people at will right in front of them, and did nothing.

Effing rude idiots. They deserve what they get.
These snowflakes have gotten used to not being held accountable for their stupidity.....Time to start cracking skulls of the bad ones (not the rare, peaceful ones)...
It’s funny that they video everything so they can use it against police. But the videos end up making the protesters look bad.
Meanwhile the police are making videos as well.
I see that there was a Minnesota Twins fan taking some snaps.
Memories...light the corners of my mind...
Misty watercolor memories... of the way we were...
Police bureau’s have more impact than police departments
Quanice.
Chances are, this woman is mentally ill and not able to function in society. This is just my guess.
I am not at all excusing her behavior, but when she charged the police she was putting them in danger. I kind of liked the way the police handled this.
She was given a chance to walk away,after assaulting an officer and being pushed back onto her ass.
She went back at them thienking to herself ‘ They wouldn’t dare touch a woman!”
She was popped with 4 non lethal projectiles and a dose pof pepper spray. I can tell she was out on her feet and collapsed.
I hate to admit it, but I laughed. What are they protesting?
Authority? Trump? Police violence?
Rebels without a cause.
The police were not going to allow any damage to private property. That message was administered loudly and clearly.
Next up Kenny is Brianna, a kale eater from Portland. Ohhh, have some pepper spray with that kale. Bet she stays home with her cats next time.
Goes to a "Don't Shoot" organized "protest", gets out of hand, get shot anyway.
I love it!
