PORTLAND, Ore. A crowd gathered outside the federal courthouse in downtown Portland Thursday night for a protest against police violence.
The demonstration began around 8:30 p.m. outside the courthouse on Southwest Third Avenue and Main Street, shortly after the fence surrounding the courthouse was taken down for the first time since last summer.
The courthouse doors were being boarded up when tensions between people and federal officers there erupted. This started a chain reaction of civil unrest and destruction, leading authorities to deploy tear gas.
