Over 60 Portland 911 calls go unheeded overnight as police respond to riot


More than 60 emergency calls to police went unheeded overnight in Portland as officers were preoccupied with hundreds of demonstrators downtown and were pelted by rocks. Some threw objects at police cars in the parking lot of the building and spray-painted over security cameras. “At the time of this release over 60 calls for police service were holding around the city," the Police Bureau said in a statement. The man allegedly tried to break into an occupied home before 7 a.m. Saturday and made threats with knives before fleeing on foot. Police said the man had been the subject of at least eight 911 calls over the past week.
