Summary
At 10 AM, a rally and march was held by the family of Patrick Kimmons, a young black man who was killed by Portland Police in 2018. The rally was held downtown before protestors marched to the site of the shooting.
The nightly demonstration in front of the Justice Center was largely uneventful. Protesters set out umbrellas with the names of black individuals that were killed by police. There was also food, including the ever-present “Riot Ribs” providing protesters and passersby with barbecue, and music. At 2 AM, officers of The Portland Police Bureau and federal U.S. Marshals agents made their first appearance of the night in front of the Justice Center and federal courthouse, respectively, but quickly withdrew back into their buildings. The night ended without any further confrontations, arrests, or munitions deployed.

Night #42 of ongoing protests. Numbers of protesters have been on a steady decline since the 4th of July. It is apparent everyone needs a break. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/Xhob8m1YwW

Modifications have been added to the pioneer statue on Chapman Square. Umbrellas emblazoned with the names of people of color killed by the police now surround the base. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #Blacklivesmatter pic.twitter.com/5OgpIbkokz

It’s time once again for the nightly Portland Justice Center protest thread. A bit of a smaller crowd than usual for the moment, but a lot of umbrellas. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter pic.twitter.com/Hf0EjI3dqd

Decided to finally check the now infamous Riot Ribs. This impromptu kitchen has made it through tear gas, rubber bullets, and stun grenades. They have continued to grill amidst a war zone. #riotribs #PortlandProtest #blacklivesmatter #pdx #blm #portland #justicecenter pic.twitter.com/SDhuiq34gh
