PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland police detained a crowd of at least 100 protesters Friday night at a demonstration, halting the march minutes after it started, the Oregonian/Oregonlive.com reported. You must stay where you are and comply with officers’ lawful orders,” the Portland Police Bureau said in a tweet. Adam Costello, a livestream videographer, told the newspaper that two windows were broken during the early stages of the demonstration. In January, a group of protesters carrying signs against President Joe Biden and police marched in Portland on Inauguration Day and damaged the headquarters of the Democratic Party of Oregon, police said. Portland has been the site of frequent protests, many involving violent clashes between officers and demonstrators, ever since the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May.
