Rioters in Portland launched chunks of concrete, golf balls, fireworks, and other objects at police officers late Friday after the police blocked a mob from going to the offices of the city’s police union.
Rioters have set fire to the Portland Police Association’s building twice in recent weeks and appeared to be headed there again, prompting police officers to position themselves in a way that demonstrators couldn’t access the building. The rioters were led by a group carrying wooden shields emblazoned with a black fist, a symbol used by Black Lives Matter groups.
