There were clashes in downtown Portland Sunday as Antifa squared off with the group Patriots Prayer. From KATU:

Members of Antifa initially showed up [at] the peaceful rally, but quickly made their way to the Patriot Prayer Freedom March several blocks away. The two groups quickly clashed. Several violent fights were witnessed by KATU News crews throughout the area, but as opposed to previous protests, there was little to no police presence breaking up the groups.
Clashes between Antifa and Patriot Prayer moved toward the peaceful rally further north on the waterfront. Organizers quickly moved across the street to avoid any conflict.
Video from KOIN 6 shows one Antifa member running across a park and kicking someone from the opposing group. That starts a scuffle as one man tries to grab the attacker and hold on to him. Later, several members of Antifa are seen attacking someone on the ground using sticks, though its not clear what happened immediately before this.

Fox 12 reports two people were arrested and one person was given a citation and taken to the hospital:
Shortly after police arrived, a 16-year-old boy was arrested for disorderly conduct in the second degree and a felony probation warrant for burglary in the second degree, reckless burning and criminal mischief. He was booked into the Donald E. Long Detention Home.
Officers cited and released 21-year-old Tusitala Toese on a charge of disorderly conduct in the second degree. He was issued a criminal citation instead of being booked into jail because of an injury he sustained during the protest that required medical treatment at a hospital.
Officers also arrested 24-year-old Jonny Perez for disorderly conduct in the second degree, interfering with a police officer, and escape in the third degree. He was booked into the Multnomah County Jail and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.
Heres another video clip showing some of the violence.

Portland is a stronghold for Antifa and these kinds of clashes have become a recurring part of life in the city. During a similar face-off in June, 14 people were arrested. From CNN:
What began as a tense exchange of name-calling and profane insults took a turn when counterdemonstrators began throwing glass bottles, bricks and balloons of foul-smelling liquid at officers, Portland police said. Officers used pepper spray to push back the counterdemonstrators and closed the park where they had gathered, threatening to arrest anyone who remained.
Portland police did not indicate which side those arrested belonged to. CNN crews on the scene observed that most of the arrests were concentrated in the area of counterdemonstrators.
The counterdemonstrators, in that case, were Antifa, some of whom were found with bags of bricks they intended to use as weapons.

Where was Portland’s the new police chief?
The new chief needs to roll up her sleeves and get her skirt dirty dealing with the rioters.
“The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists”-Winston Churchill
When Antifa terrorist imminently and violently threaten the lives of innocent and peaceful demonstrators, deadly force should be authorized. Because Portland has a domestic terrorist city government, and Oregon has domestic terrorist state governor and legislators, normal legal rights may not apply to Christians or conservatives.
This is Portland we are talking about. Jonathon Gruber’s stupid voters comment describes Portland voters to a “T”.
They keep voting liberalprogressivecommunists to power and can’t quite figure out why things are so screwed up.
We’re awake.
Just waiting for the turds to show up here.
Subsonics.
Just wondering what sex robots have to do with Antifa?
What?
Oh, I missed deleting that promo.
I was thinking maybe the message is screw Antifa instead of a robot.
“Antifa gets violent.” Least surprising phrase I’ve seen all day.
They need to be felt with - permanently.
According to the article about her posted here yesterday she won’t start until October.
Antifa girls are robotic in the sack ... they say.
I hereby rename antifa to amnaz.
We are awake. Just what should we do? I’m all for breaking these riots up with superior force. How do we go about it without ending up in jail?
The new police chief, like the old police chief, is under the orders of the mayor. Even if she actually intended to enforce the law, and keep the peace, the mayor has a deal with Antifa, which he supports. Antifa doesn't do any property damage and confines itself to attacking conservatives. In exchange, the Portland PD "can't afford the overtime" and will only arrest someone if they are caught on camera by the networks...
Everyone here knows the rules...
The Patriots insist, however, on fighting the Party.
Sometimes you have to go to jail.
