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.

“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”
I was referring to last night specifically. There was unrest in all those cities last night?
Yup. The coordination (er, ‘coincidence’) of those facts are a distinct curiosity.
Some protests, but I’m not aware of a lot of violence. I predicted yesterday that the organizers of BLM and Antifa - who are NOT dumb people - might get the word out for their people not necessarily to stand down, but to avoid violence. They would want to draw a contrast between Rittenhouse and their own behavior, which would - on this one occasion - be peaceful. They want to control public perceptions.
How many were arrested??? Probably NONE!
Some people wonder why they can’t find a U-Haul any where on the left coast.
Portland is their TRAINING GROUND!!!
The internet will be society’s downfall, what with the ability bad players now have to radicalize and organize mass numbers rapidly for the purpose of unlawful acts and intimidation.
I thought the reason for a riot was to get attention
