PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Portland police said they detained a crowd of about 100 protesters Friday night when violence broke out during a demonstration, halting the march minutes after it started. Thirteen people were charged with crimes.
The mass detainment shortly after 9 p.m. Friday in the Pearl District appeared to an example of kettling, a police tactic of surrounding a crowd and containing people within a perimeter, The Oregonian/OregonLive.com reported.
So long, James Madison. Hello, Leodis McDaniel High School

Madison High School is no more. The Northeast Portland school once named after the fourth president of the United States is now Leodis V. McDaniel High.
A coalition of students, educators, alumni and community members chose one of the school’s beloved former principals as its next namesake. The group surveyed nearly 2,500 people since September and received more than 400 nominations.
