The total crowd at 5 p.m. was estimated at between 4,500 and 5,000 people, interim police Chief Howard Jordan said. About 3,000 were “marching peacefully to the Port,” he added.
“Earlier, we got reports that five businesses have been damaged, mostly banks and Whole Foods. We deeply regret that took place,” Jordan said.
Of the crowd of thousands, Jordan said, a small group of just 60 or 70 people now identified as anarchists were responsible for the vandalism, Jordan said.

Egads what a circus.
And city hall lets the dogs run free.
Unbelievable.
“...Of the crowd of thousands, Jordan said, a small group of just 60 or 70 people now identified as anarchists were responsible for the vandalism, Jordan said...”
That’s all it takes to direct a larger group - a well-trained, hardcore cadre of agitators to move the brainwashed useful idiots like puppets in any direction they choose.
They STUDY crowd dynamics, and tactical mob direction. This is what communist/socialist agitators do. Even that old retarded moron communist Angela Davis is there...
So that when the police “over-react” and the pre-positioned media flunky cameras are rolling, the “peaceful protestors” suddenly become “victims” of police brutality.
Standard tactic. They’ve been well-trained.
That being said, it’s time to stomp them into the ground so the port is re-opened. By blocking the port and destroying people’s properties, they go from peaceful protestors to domestic economic terrorists.
But hey...the cops are good ol’ union boys too. Nothing much will happen.
