‘Demonstrators’ and Antifa press hurled glass bottles and pointed lasers at police officers late Saturday night. The ‘peaceful protest’ was declared an unlawful assembly and two violent people were arrested.
This rioting in the name of ‘peaceful protests’ has gone on since May, since before federal officers arrived to protect the federal courthouse.
About 200 radicals gathered, despite the virus, near the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse and the Justice Center, their usual target. The lunatics marched, blocked traffic, and ended at the building housing the police where they shone lasers at Portland police officers standing outside the building. The crazy Antifa/BLMers are aware that three officers were blinded by the lasers.
They then began hurling glass bottles at the officers. One had paint in it and hit an officer in the head, according to the official summary by police.
People with ‘press’ written on their outer clothing also threw bottles at officers.
When the crowd left, the police went back into their building.
This comes after an agreement with federal officers to have the feds step back while the State police and officials calmed the ‘demonstrators.’
THERE WAS NO SIGN OF OREGON POLICE!
Trashing Suburbia
The ‘demonstrators’ tried to trash a suburban neighborhood but the police did engage.

Yesterday rioters tore off wood barriers from nearby businesses & started fires in the street. The burnt Bibles and US flags. Tonight they attacked the SE precinct, throwing glass bottles & other projectiles at officers. One was hit in the head. https://t.co/92jvhnbFzm

Fake Press Everywhere
Cory Elia, a pro-antifa videographer, deleted the video. But here’s a screenshot showing the back of the car. You can clearly see a sign that reads: “Gas us if you’re horny.” This was fake press who police rightfully saw as someone obstructing the street. pic.twitter.com/w7002gStVm

From what I read, the 200-person march on the Sheriff’s Office was different from the main Courthouse group.
“Portland police declared an unlawful assembly Saturday night near a Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office location on East Burnside Street.
There is also a separate group of protesters gathered in downtown near the Justice Center, where ongoing protests calling for racial equity and justice reform have been held for more than two months. That demonstration and subsequent march to the Pearl District was peaceful and police did not engage with the crowd on Saturday night.
Officers said a second group of about 200 people marched several blocks from Laurelhurst Park to the Penumbra Kelly Building at 47th Avenue and East Burnside Street.”
Laurelhurst Park is not that close to the Pearl District and Downtwon.
