Protesters again clashed with police on Wednesday evening outside the Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct as a group tried to break the doors of the building, and others chanted “burn the precinct to the ground.”

By 9:45 p.m., police had declared an unlawful assembly. Protesters were seen barricading the front doors and trying to break the glass. Just a few minutes later, police declared a riot and ordered people to disperse or be subject to citation, arrest, or crowd control agents, including tear gas and impact weapons.

Some people in the crowd proceeded to light a fire in front of the doors. Police responded by deploying what appeared to be tear gas to push the crowd away.
