Rioters at a Black Lives Matter event in Portland late Saturday threw fire bombs, mortars, and rocks at police officers. One person was set on fire, surrounded by people who frantically tried to put out the flames.

Clashes between law enforcement and rioters, which included members of the far-left anarcho-communist Antifa network, continued into Sunday. Over 50 people were arrested.
