A Mostly Peaceful Protest. I wonder if this article is so short because someone with “press identification throwing rocks” was involved in writing it.

Direct Quote

A police precinct was set on fire during a protest in Portland, Oregon, prompting authorities to declare a riot and deploy tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.

Police ordered demonstrators to clear the area, saying that rocks and glass bottles had been thrown at officers

An unlawful assembly had been declared before the gathering was deemed a riot.

Violent demonstrations have gripped Portland for months, following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.

Early Sunday police forced protesters away from a law enforcement building, as efforts to stop the demonstrators from gathering at the building seemingly fell apart.

The gathering was later declared a riot. Officers had been hit with rocks, bottles and other objects, police said. Numerous officers reported seeing people with some type of “press” identification throwing rocks at them, authorities said.

I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag.

Joe Biden should take the same test.
