Police arrest 14 after Portland rocked by clashes between demonstrators

Federal officers from the Department of Homeland Security clear protesters from in Terry Schrunk Plaza in Portland, Ore., Aug. 22, 2020.Portland police said they arrested 14 people overnight after officers were hit by rocks, bottles and paint balls, following violent clashes between rival groups of demonstrators that roiled the city’s downtown area earlier in the day.

Crowd control munitions were used, but not tear gas, the police department said in a statement on Sunday.Demonstrations against racism and police brutality have swept the United States since the death in May of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

'Demonstrators' Outside of woke Canada and the US, these violent anarchists would be beaten and in jail, or dead.

Yup so called anti-racism demonstaters against right wingers. What about rioters and looters against normal citizens protecting their city since the Police can't?

Good going; USA will be the USSR of the 21st century soon.

Still trying to push a narrative I see The actions of these people are NOT the actions of “demonstrators” or “protesters” any more than my tossing a molotov cocktail at the HoC would be

The ‘right wing’ were showing support for police. Is that the threshold now? Anti racist too? How about far left violent anarchists?

Is this how it all starts?
