Portland rioters throw balloons filled with feces at police vehicles
As many as 200 Portland rioters stormed a police station Friday night, throwing golf balls, rocks, metal railroad spikes, paint-filled plastic eggs, and balloons filled with feces at unoccupied police vehicles.
Police said rioters also used a street sign to smash cars. Some rioters used lacrosse sticks to throw objects. Police said they did not intervene because it was only property damage at that point.
"Officers in the sound truck used their loudspeaker to warn the group to back off the city property, keep the demonstration peaceful, and the ask crowd to police itself. However, individuals within the group continued to increase their attacks in an attempt to goad the officers into responding," police said.
After rioters burst through the police car barricade, police said they used smoke grenades. One rioter tried to run over officers with a vehicle, police said. Others targeted green lasers at a police helicopter.
Nine rioters were arrested on Friday.
