Federal, local police respond to overnight Portland protest Friday, 1st demonstration in days
The Oregonian ^ | Sep 19, 2020 | The Oregonian/OregonLive

The protests continued for more than 101 days before smoke from wildfires stalled the nightly demonstrations earlier this month. Friday was the first late-night protest in more than a week. It was also the first since Mayor Ted Wheeler barred Portland police from unleashing tear gas on demonstrators and people who live nearby.

Yet social media was still filled with reports of tear gas Friday night. Multiple independent reporters said federal officers deployed gas as they forced the crowd away from a South Portland Immigrations and Customs Enforcement building.

Federal officials have not yet confirmed the reports. Live videos from the scene showed officers releasing irritants into the air that dispersed large green, orange or white plumes. Federal officers also shot impact munitions toward the crowd and appeared to detain at least one person.

My main purpose in posting this story is to point out that Federal officers in Portland are apparently using tear gas even though local police have been banned from it by the Democrat Mayor.

Good!

Was more than happy to bypass Portland and Seattle on my trip up to Bellingham, WA. I surprised they still have something to burn in Portland, not that it didn’t need cauterizing for a lot of years.

“The protests continued for more than 101 days before smoke from wildfires stalled the nightly demonstrations earlier this month.”

Was there really a break? I thought the wildfires were a continuation of the protests by other means.
