Five people were arrested overnight in Portland, Oregon after a riot broke out on the anniversary of George Floyd’s death.

The quintet was part of a crowd who set a fire in a dumpster next to the Justice Center, a building that houses a jail and law enforcement offices, while chanting “Burn the building down,” according to a Portland Police Bureau incident summary and photographs and video footage from the scene.
