PORTLAND, Ore. — Several individuals dressed in all black with their faces covered attempted to keep a KATU camera crew from recording the events unfolding downtown Friday night after the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office declared a gathering of people a riot.
The individuals demanded the crew stop recording.
The group then attacked the KATU camera operator when the crew asserted their right to record in a public space. A confrontation occurred between the individuals and the TV station's security guards.
The KATU crew was uninjured but the camera was damaged.
Portland police said deputies declared the riot when people started damaging a gate to the detention center.
Police said people near the Justice Center at Southwest 2nd Avenue and Madison Street broke windows and damaged doors at city buildings.
Police said people threw rocks at officers.
Officers ordered people to leave the area and told them if they didn't, they could be subjected to pepper spray, impact munitions, detained, arrested or cited. A group of people remained downtown, however.

Can we bring Kyle out to Portland?
Again - this is organized insurrection by the Democrat Party Militia and being organized and coordinated nationwide.
When are the MADia going to realize these are not the innocent little children they themselves portray them as?
it happened at night so, according to Garland, it’s OK.
“The individuals demanded the crew stop recording”
I thought the reason for a riot was to get attention. Lol!
These people are lunatics
“this is organized insurrection by the Democrat Party Militia and being organized and coordinated nationwide”
Really? Nationwide? Where else?
Portland, you voted for this. Enjoy it.
Hey, Aunt Queefa! Come try that in Tennessee. We’d love to welcome you appropriately.
Kati should have disguised themselves the way antifa does
Ride a bike there
Wear a backpack
Wear high-end radio gear
Scrawl ‘ press’ on a helmet.

Look, we’ve long passed the point where a whiff of grapeshot is needed.
Hmm... Conflicted here...
Fascist rioters versus the DNCMedia?
Can they BOTH lose?
Never, because the turds are part of the insurrection.
The protests are very disappointing to the MSM so they are making a big deal out of very little.
That is a fact.
Wake me up when the “riot” is somewhere that’s not already a sh&thole.

Good! Too bad there weren't serious injuries.
The Media enabled these rioters, they should suffer the consequences.
Portland needs to elect a mayor and city council who won’t put up with this crap. Otherwise, the city’s going to be a shell of its former self.
