Portland: Antifa & Far-Right Groups Clash in Protest & Counterprotest
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Portland, Oregon, anti-racist, anti-fascist protesters faced off
against members of the far-right-wing group "Patriot Prayer" during a
protest and counterprotest Saturday. Hours into the competing protests,
police officers attacked the left-wing, anti-fascist counterprotesters
with pepper spray and stun grenades. Portland's police chief has ordered
a review of the use of force at Saturday's protest.
