Last night was the 100th night of unrest in the city of Portland. There were flyers announcing thr anniversary passed around downtown, and the crowd was larger than normal, even for a Saturday night.
The Portland police and Oregon State Troopers were prepared though, and they moved quickly to disperse the crowd and make arrests. And in a smart tactical move, they acted first and acted early to disrupt whatever “celebration” plans the rioters had in mind. The police made several pushes into the protesters, split them into two groups headed different directions, ordered them off a city street, and then declared a “riot” when they failed to disperse.
At one point rioters threw firebombs with indifferent results. All they managed to set on fire was one of their own.
Maybe the individual who threw the Molotov should have spent some time doing some exercise instead of studying critical race theory. . . .
The cops had finally had enough, and they put an end to the riots for the night.
It appears the OSP are the ones making the arrests. I covered the reasons behind that here.
