Summary

Yesterday was a long day for Portland. Between the Proud Boys Rally during the day and the rampant police brutality at night, it appears protesters are tired enough to take the night off. While the community takes a break from protesting this evening, a rally was held during the day by Letha Winston, mother of Patrick Kimmons, where she spoke to community members.
