Dueling Portland clashes shut down streets, as police try to manage chaos


Portland, Ore., faced another day of violent protests between opposing groups as hundreds clashed Saturday afternoon, forcing police to declare an unlawful assembly. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler tweeted a warning to all of the day’s protesters, telling them to "peacefully exercise their First Amendment Rights." But violent skirmishes broke out around the city anyway as people attacked each other with pepper spray, paintball guns, bats, shields and projectiles. Criminal conduct may also subject you to the use of force, including, but not limited to, crowd control agents and impact weapons. President Trump has been highly critical of the protests, blaming the Democratic Portland leadership for the continued unrest.
