SAN FRANCISCO - A man was shot dead in the protest-hit US city of Portland, police said Sunday, during clashes between Black Lives Matter activists and supporters of President Donald Trump.
"They responded and located a victim with a gunshot wound to the chest. Medical responded and determined that the victim was deceased," Portland Police said in a statement. The Portland clashes followed unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where prosecutors accused 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse of shooting dead two men and wounding another who were protesting against Blake's shooting.Anti-racism protests roiling US cities have become a major issue in the campaign for November's presidential election, with Trump presenting himself as the "law and order" choice and characterising his Democratic challenger Joe Biden as weak on violent crime.
The president has repeatedly threatened to send federal government forces into the west coast city if Mayor Ted Wheeler does not crackdown.
