Far-left protesters, rioters & their supporters in Portland talk about protecting free speech. But when someone they don’t like enters a public demonstration, they assault them & physically force them out. This is all about making the streets only for them pic.twitter.com/LDcUX5Dea1

The rioters also deployed smoke bombs and lasers, which they use to impede the vision of police officers.

Around 1:30 a.m. local time, the Portland Police Department tweeted that “participants have 5 minutes to remove all barricades around the facility. Failure to follow this direction may subject you to arrest, citation, or use of force including crowd control munitions. Leave the area to the west. SW Columbia to SW Taylor from SW 1st to 6th is closed.”
The event downtown has been deemed an unlawful assembly. People gathering around the Justice Center are interfering with the operations of both government and county facilities.

Shortly after the 5 minutes were up, law enforcement began shooting massive amounts of tear gas into the crowd to disperse them, according to a livestreamer on the scene. They also tore down the barricades set up by the rioters.
