Unlawful assembly at Portland protest after Chauvin verdict April 21 2021
The Police Bureau declared an unlawful assembly after around 100 protesters gathered near the Justice Center in downtown Portland.
The verdict was guilty. But for a dedicated cadre whose movement has put the entire justice system on trial, that was only one more reason to take to the streets.
Authorities declared an unlawful assembly and made two arrests including for felony assault of an officer during a downtown demonstration on Tuesday evening, April 20.
The protest followed the announcement of a guilty on all charges verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd, a Black man whose death last year spurred an uprising in Portland that lasted for over 100 days without respite.

Statewide polling by the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center asks about lasting effects of pandemic on Oregon.
The novel coronavirus has upended nearly every facet of modern life over the past year but will those changes stick?
Many Oregonians predict that online shopping and working from home are here to stay; virtual schooling and high unemployment, on the other hand, are expected to linger temporarily. And the permanence of other virus-spurred alterations in society, such as the rise of telemedicine, leave Oregon divided.
That s all according to a new polling by the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center.
OVBC, in partnership with DHM Research, conducted the survey of 900 Oregon residents selected to be demographically representative of the state in late February and early March. The margin of error ranges from 2% to 3.3% per question.
