A protest set to start at Irving Park is suddenly delayed when a car rolls over next to the park.
I’m at Irvington Park, and just as I was getting here a vehicle rolled over in front of us. This is proving to be a very exciting j20. pic.twitter.com/hsORF9Adpt

Allegedly the vehicle overturned after striking the side of a parked car. A mother and her daughter were inside. Immediately members of Antifa ran to the scene, breaking a window in order to get the family out. Both the mother and the daughter are safe. #PDXprotests #Oregon pic.twitter.com/6faOBJAtSD

At around 6:20 pm the demonstration begins despite the police presence in the area due to the car accident.

Motorcycle police still block the road from the earlier rollover. pic.twitter.com/vSxZk98k48

Protesters have marched past police without any interaction. Definitely in stark contrast for what I saw earlier at revolution Hall when a PPB bicycle officer raised a knife during a scuffle. pic.twitter.com/TX89CVZbxW

Everyone’s probably already seen the fire truck, but it’s awesome so here it is again. The message is even better. pic.twitter.com/KuM7yB4hMH

Again, in contrast with the earlier March, people are actually standing on their porches and cheering the protesters on. There’s also no police in sight. pic.twitter.com/vhH97X0mb4

Still marching, still being cheered on, still no cops. pic.twitter.com/6w29SgX5BQ

The march returns to its starting point and comes to an end just before 8 pm.
The march returned to the park without any police presence that I saw. I’m out of this area now and headed to another protest event in portland someone told me about, I’ll start a new thread whenever I get there. Busy day for #blm and the #portlandprotests.
