Protesters in the U.S. city of Portland called for mayor Ted Wheeler's resignation on Monday during the 95th consecutive night of unrest since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Police declared the assembly a riot, and moved in to disperse demonstrators with tear gas.

Demonstrators marched to Wheeler's residence with a banner reading "Resign." Wheeler had warned of an escalation of violence after a shooting on Saturday in which one man died following a day of protests between supporters of President Donald Trump and counter-protesters.

Portland's demonstrators, demanding for police reform and racial justice, have frequently clashed with law enforcement over the past 13 weeks.
