PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police say three officers were injured and eight protesters arrested during the Monday night demonstration in downtown Portland against police shootings.
The eight were arrested for investigation of disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and riot. Police said Tuesday that an investigation may lead to further arrests of people accused of assaulting officers.
A crowd of about 200 people marched through the streets, protesting the shooting deaths of Jack Collins this month and Aaron Campbell in January. During the protest windows were broken at a Bank of America branch.
Separately, the Rev. Jesse Jackson was in town Monday criticizing the shootings as “symptoms of a deeper problem of insensitivity and detachment.”
