Small march took off from the rally happening at waterfront downtown. Within 10 minutes state troopers started arresting random people quite violently. People that were standing on the sidewalk got grabbed and thrown into walls, shoved to the ground. One person who was already detained by a state trooper got punched in the face by another state trooper.

At least 5 arrests tonight. Cops pushed an elderly person so hard against the window you could hear the bang. They then piled on top of them after already going down to the ground.

They were just walking on the sidewalk. Someone else was trying to get out of their way when they got grabbed and they were just walking with a sign.

This all happened seconds after one single tag went up. Shortly after state troopers were accompanied by PPB. The police presence was pretty massive

all five people arrested last night are yet to be released. Super unusual for portland and not sure what’s going on.

They were all arrested by OSP (state troopers). There has been some speculation by folks that this is the reason they are being held until arraignments, but that is not the case.

I worry this is intentional to make the process even more painful. Portlands new DA, Vasquez, ran his campaign on law & order and was directly going after Schmidt's (old DA) “leniency” towards protest cases.

@alissaazar Sounds like a successful march. This is going to be an interesting summer if the tarrifs go through on February.
