Portland, Oregon, police officers declared late on July 4 that a protest near the Justice Center had become a riot, and used crowd-control munitions, including a type of tear gas, in an attempt to disperse the crowd.

Meanwhile, the city’s top police official railed against “nightly criminal activity that destroys the value and fabric of our community.”
