Police Use Tear Gas and Pepper Spray at BLM Protest in Portland

By Youtube On Jul 4, 2020 Last updated Jul 4, 2020

Police were seen using what appears to be tear gas and pepper spray at a Black Lives Matter protest in Portland early on Friday.

Portland Police reportedly declared a riot late on Thursday, after fires were set inside and surrounding the Justice Center on Southwest Main Street.

At around 23:00 local time (06:00 GMT) protesters reportedly broke into the Justice Center. Federal officers inside the courthouse rushed outside to protect the building, according to reports citing police.

Several protesters were reportedly arrested. Anti-racism protests have swept the world following the death of 46-year-old George Floyd at the hands of police in the US on May 25.
