PORTLAND (AP) — A Portland protest march against police brutality ended with nearly a dozen arrests Thursday evening.
About 40 black-clad protesters carrying anti-police placards set out on a police-escorted march that took them past Pioneer Courthouse Square.
The Oregonian says officers moved in to arrest a young woman who joined the protest at the courthouse square. As one officer tried to arrest her, a protester kicked the back tire of his bicycle, leading to a scuffle.
About 20 officers dropped their bicycles and moved in to tackle a handful of protesters. Police cars swarmed the area with sirens blaring.
