Police declared a riot in Oregon's largest city on Tuesday night as a demonstration to commemorate the one year anniversary of George Floyd's death spiralled into chaos.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the Multnomah County Justice Center in downtown Portland on Tuesday evening. As the crowd chanted "burn the building down," some individuals lit a dumpster on fire and pushed it up against the justice center while others vandalized the building with grafitti, according to the Portland Police Bureau.
Police officers warned the crowd that the gathering was now considered an unlawful assembly and that those who continued engaging in criminal activity would be subject to arrest and use of force. Some individuals in the crowd threw frozen water bottles and eggs at the officers as well as metal spikes in the road, police said.
The crowd then marched to the nearby Portland City Hall, where some individuals smashed windows. Police declared the unlawful assembly a riot at around 10 p.m. local time and ordered the crowd to disperse. But the crowd continued wandering through the downtown area, blocking traffic in the streets and breaking windows of various businesses, according to police.
Police said they made "targeted arrests" of some individuals "who have engaged in criminal activity." Further details were not provided.

Targeted arrests?
Further details not provided?
SNORT.
Meaning they likely didn’t arrest anybody...?
Every day is a holiday if “protesting” is all you do. (Who buys food for these people?)
“Who buys food for these people?”
With a name like “Tax-chick”, you have to ask?
The bill comes every April 15th.
It’s NOT terrorist if it happens at night. The attorney general said so!
Come on man: A riot is just an IDEA!
It’d be a lot easier to just declare riot-free days. I suppose the press officer needs a job too.
Is that the point where they officially refuse to do their job and let the Feral Animals run wild without consequences?
Nuke Portland from above and start life over there in a 100 years. Life has failed there.

“Protestors”
Sure. Keep telling us that lie.
