Anti-racism and police brutality protests continued in Portland for the 72nd consecutive night on Saturday, where police declared a riot outside the Portland Police Association (PPA) building.
People chanted in the street. At one point, a dumpster was overturned and the trash inside was set on fire.
Officers used pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
Just before midnight, Portland police announced over their loudspeaker that the demonstration was an unlawful assembly and told people to leave the area.
Minutes later, authorities declared a riot.
Police said a riot was declared after a group of people broke into the PPA office and started a fire inside. "Officers moved the crowd so the fire could be extinguished before it could grow out of control," said Portland police via Twitter.
