PORTLAND, Ore. — A group of 100 to 200 demonstrators marched through downtown Portland as they continued their nightly protests against racial injustice.
Portland police said an unspecified number of individuals broke the storefront windows of some businesses -- and that included U.S. Bank at Southwest Fourth Avenue and Harrison Street, Chipotle Mexican Grill at Southwest Broadway and College Street and a Starbucks coffee shop at Southwest Sixth Avenue and Salmon Street. Police also said some individuals sprayed graffiti.
No arrests were made but police are investigating.
Demonstrators had gathered in Portland for more than 100 nights as of early September, took a more than week-long break when the city was blanketed by heavy smoke from Northwest wildfires and then resumed their protests Friday night.
Police said that at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, officers “engaged the group” to move away from the Multnomah County Justice Center and off of Southwest Second Avenue to clear a path for officers who were ending their shifts to drive their cars into Central Precinct.
Police reported no violence and said officers didn’t use any munitions or other force.
