Portland Police described what happened in a news release:

“On Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at approximately 7:00 p.m., a group of about 50 people engaged in a demonstration outside PPB’s North Precinct. Initially, they chanted and banged on pots and PPB members observed the activity from a distance. After about 20 minutes, numerous people approached North Precinct’s main entrance and began tagging windows and newly painted walls. PPB members moved in and made targeted arrests. At this time, many in the crowd retreated, but they returned to the main entrance minutes later. PPB members managed to get the crowd away from the building at which point tape was put up. The crowd was told they would be subject to arrest if they crossed over the line and into the closed area. A short time later, the tape was ripped down and people entered the prohibited area. PPB members made several additional arrests. Eventually, the crowd disbanded.”
