Tonight's the 100th night of Portland Protest Riots...

As demonstrations in Portland against police brutality and systemic racism approach their 100th consecutive night of what Governor Brown continues to downplay the events going on in downtown Portland after dark as "Peaceful Protests" in downtown Portland, Oregon we thought we would tell you a bit about night 99.

So last night for about 90 minutes, officers did not engage with the growing gatherors of the nightly show known as the Portland Riot Protests, but of coarse when items including rocks, full beverage cans, water bottles and so forth were thrown at them, that justified authorities did what they to every night, which is to declare it an unlawful assembly. For those who haven't heard the next announcement to come once such is declared, it usually goes like this:

“Failure to comply with this order may subject you to citation or arrest, and may subject you to the use of tear gas, crowd control agents and or impact munitions.”

27 arrests took place just last night, according to the Portland Police Bureau. Most of the people arrested faced charges of interfering with a peace officer and disorderly conduct.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown Thursday, along with Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, Senate President Peter Courtney, state representatives, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and a variety of Oregon organizations, released a statement condemning violent acts during protests.“We are coming together to condemn the acts of violence in Portland that have occurred as thousands of Oregonians have been peacefully protesting …” the statement reads. “The violence must stop. There is no place for white supremacy or vigilantism in Oregon. All who perpetrate violent crimes must be held equally accountable.Together, we are committing ourselves to do the hard work that will bring meaningful change for racial justice and police reform.”

“It’s Labor Day weekend. There are a lot of families here. There are kids here,” Wheeler said. “People are going about their Labor Day weekend the way people do, and what we do not need is groups confronting each other on the streets violently.”

Last week, a man named Aaron “Jay” Danielson was shot and killed during a pro-Trump car caravan that drove through Portland. Danielson was a supporter of Patriot Prayer, a group that has attended, hosted and engaged in violence at Portland protests in the past.

“We are working with both our local law enforcement partners and state law enforcement partners. We will keep separation, as much as we’re able to keep separation, and if people are engaged in criminal activity, we’ll do our best to hold them accountable,” Wheeler said.

Despite the circus that is state government, please everyone, be and stay safe and healthy during these trying times.
