Portland's Nightly Anti-Police-Brutality Protests Continue to Face Police Violence
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Portland, Oregon, mass protests against police brutality and racial
violence are nearing 90 days straight. This comes as police continue to
violently repress protesters. Footage from earlier this week shows
Portland police firing tear gas and explosive crowd control munitions to
disperse crowds. On Tuesday, Portland police declared a riot amid
ongoing protests - at least the third riot declaration within a week.
