Protests for June 30

Posted on June 30, 2020July 23, 2020 by audrey

Summary

Tonight’s protest and march at Peninsula Park started with speeches from Rabbi Ariel Stone and other community members on topics spanning Palestinian solidarity, police brutality, and other intersectional aspects of the BLM movement. At 8 PM protesters marched from the park to the Portland Police Association headquarters. Tonight the PPB contract expires, and it is scheduled to be extended by city council on Wednesday. At the PPA building, a crowd of police officers including Oregon State Police guarded the building perimeter.

Police declared an “unlawful assembly” not long after protesters arrived there, deploying riot munitions. The group was pushed a distance through the neighborhood, with several arrests. At 10:14 PM the police declared the gathering a “riot” and began tear gassing protesters and the surrounding neighborhood. There were repeated announcements for the protest to move toward Albina St, but on arrival a large number of police were there and began arresting them. Multiple reporters are included in those arrests.

A smaller group of around 50-60 people rallied at the Justice Center tonight, tapering off after 1 AM.

We got a pretty decent little March in the road right now, chanting "Stand up fight back!" and bearing this banner, with the names of people killed by the Portland Police. 300-500 in crowd. Not sure where we are headed. pic.twitter.com/RcdwpFnMlo

Hello! I got to the PPA just in time to watch PPB shoving protesters, NLG, and press while insisting that they walk faster.

They could not walk faster! I promise this is true because I was there also trying to walk faster! But didn’t stop PPB from shoving repeatedly. pic.twitter.com/xAf1om4KHH

This was one of the most immediate escalations of violence we've seen from the PPB in all these protests. They declared an unlawful assembly right when we arrived, and began attacking with batons and munitions only minutes later. Fuck The Police. https://t.co/KuROaWk4Ux

Lots of folks in the apartments outside the PPA Have come outside to watch and film. LRAD is telling them to go inside over and over again. Protesters are asking them to stay outside and witness.
— Tuck Woodstock (@tuckwoodstock) July 1, 2020

PPB Just RAN (bill rushed) at protesters and made a bunch of arrests. Some folks next to me are saying journalists got arrested. I can’t confirm, can someone let me know? @hungrybowtie has good footage of the rush I think. I was typing so not filming.

Bull rushed*****

The two people pushing me back did not hit me when I said MEDIA MEDIA MEDIA MEDIA MEDIA but they certainly did not let me stop and film the arrests or dispersal.

Smoke behind shot behind the crowd??? In the direction we are supposed to be going??

Oh gosh someone is walking at the PPB yelling “shoot me if you want, that’s my house, check my ID”
— Tuck Woodstock (@tuckwoodstock) July 1, 2020

A riot was declared at about 10:14 PM:

I guess it’s a riot now? Really unclear why.

Getting lots of reports of PPB either waiting at peninsula park (where march started) or on albina.

We are back on Lombard and interstate and we are being told to move back East by LRAD again, to albina.

There was also a gathering at the Justice Center:

Here at the Justice Center. SW 3rd is blocked at Main with official road blocks. There's fewer than 60 people here. I know I'm late, but I'm going to see if maybe a group left, and catch up on the past few hours. Here's the Elk, on what used to be the last day of Pride. pic.twitter.com/VhREEBbNs0

Someone who lives in the neighborhood told me that they came outside to see if anyone needed help and ended up tear gassed.

This seems…. bad? like maybe a not good use of Portland tax dollars?

Pushing crowd more East. Someone just got hit with a flash bang(?) and needs a medic but they’re all being pushed back East too. I hope they got out and got help

I just heard PPB come out and go back in the JC. Definitely yells of A-C-A-B, etc., but someone else is saying a person who was standing alone near the JC, just texting, were grabbed by officers and pulled inside.

To reiterate: not a single member of PPB stopped for this obviously injured person. They charged over her when they advanced and did not stop for a health check when they retreated. At least 30 of them. No one stopped. No one called a medic.

Protests for June 28

Posted on June 28, 2020July 23, 2020 by audrey

Summary

Sunday was a relatively quiet night at the Justice Center, with approximately 150-200 protesters gathering to speak and march together. Around 10:30 PM, a car drove through a group near the elk statue, in an apparent attack. Fortunately there were no serious injuries reported. No police were seen throughout the night, and there was no attempt to enforce a midnight park closure.

@JevaRapper aka Snack Van and this black truck are protecting protesters on 3rd now. Today PPB removed everything from a construction site where people were getting most of the barricade material. Without barricades, protesters are more vulnerable to car attacks. pic.twitter.com/C29qDJRRyx

More fireworks, this time in the middle of the crowd outside the JC. (PS we are back outside the JC.)

People on the bullhorn: “Black people are still dying every day. Not just here, everywhere. Call your friends and get them the fuck out here. This isn’t cute. Where is everybody?”

The crowd is maybe 150-200 protesters, medics, legal observers, and press.
— Tuck Woodstock (@tuckwoodstock) June 29, 2020

Some of the crowd wants to march and some of the crowd wants to stay at JC. Compromise: march around the JC.

It’s 12:20 am I have not seen any police presence so far. No announcements to stay out of the street or get out of the park at midnight.

Big fireworks are going off now. A speaker is giving an impromptu workshop on what to do instead of calling the cops. We’re back on 3rd.

Protests for June 27

Posted on June 27, 2020July 23, 2020 by audrey

Summary

Saturday afternoon, PDX Stripper Strike led a march across the Hawthorne Bridge, ending with dancing at Waterfront Park. Along the way, they stopped outside the Golden Dragon strip club to speak about their demands and the harm Black dancers have experienced.

Protesters gathered outside the Justice Center at dusk, building a barricade across SW 3rd and Main St. Around 10:30 PM, the police declared it an unlawful assembly and began shooting tear gas and impact munitions. People with ties to local White supremacist organizations spent much of the day sharing violent threats against BLM protestors on social media. When they attempted to attack protestors around 11:30, the agitators were pushed away from protestors and entered a 7-Eleven. These agitators were escorted away from the area by police.

Police continued to fire gas and other munitions at groups of protesters for the next few hours. At least one significant injury was reported.

Protests for June 26

Posted on June 26, 2020July 23, 2020 by audrey

Summary

Friday morning, Don’t Shoot PDX presented their report, “Riot Control Agents: Systemic Reassessment of Adverse effects on Health, Mental Stability, and Social Inequities“. That evening, a new agreement was filed on their temporary restraining order against the city, further restricting the use of crowd control munitions until July 24.

At a press conference, Police Chief Lovell claimed that the Thursday night protesters at the North Precinct nailed doors shut, barricading people inside, while a fire was started outside the building. This claim is not backed up by reports from protesters or press who were there.

The scheduled Abolish ICE protest march led people to a rally with speeches in Terry Schrunk Plaza, a block from the Justice Center. About 500 attended.

Protesters gathered at the Justice Center, forming groups in the nearby park and streets surrounding the building throughout the evening. Police sporadically emerged from the building to shoot at them. One protester left by ambulance after being struck. Another was taken to the hospital for care after a bb from one of these shots lodged in their eye cavity.

Early in the morning, police attempted to break up the gathering, chasing and attacking protesters.

Scheduled Events

Don’t Shoot PDX press conference on tear gas report

Unemployed Workers March – 1pm at Peninsula Park

Abolish ICE Protest – 4:30pm at Fields Park

Protests for June 25

Posted on June 25, 2020July 23, 2020 by audrey

Summary

Groups of protesters gathered at the Justice Center and Fernhill Park on the night of June 25. The latter event marched to the North Precinct and barricaded off an area of the street. After one of the barricades was set on fire, police swarmed the area with tear gas and impact munitions. Police made statements afterward that protesters had shut them in the building then attempted to set it on fire, which is not backed up by any reporters who were there.

At the Justice Center, protesters held a candlelight vigil and formed a protected fence area in front of the building.
