PORTLAND, Ore. — For a 13th straight night, protesters against police brutality and racial injustice gathered throughout the city on Wednesday night.
A group again assembled at Revolution Hall in Southeast Portland and marched up Grand Avenue to Unthank Park in North Portland where they listened to speakers.
Another crowd showed up downtown around 11:00pm. Police warned the crowd about criminal activity. They spent a few hours deescalating the situation after a section of the fence at Southwest 3rd and Main was knocked down. The crowd dispersed around 2:00am.
