Portland police declared a riot Wednesday night after insurgents tried to burn down a police station and attempted to run over officers with a truck.
Protesters demonstrated near the Portland Police Department's East Precinct, which is located in a residential area. A person with a megaphone asked, "Who's ready to raise some hell tonight?"
Rioters began attacking the police station located on the city's east side on the 69th night of protests. Around 9:30 p.m., rioters wearing helmets and carrying shields attempted to tear down surveillance cameras at the police station. Others spray-painted the cameras to try to prevent their identities from being revealed.
Rioters tore down wood boards protecting the police station's windows. Vandals used wooden 2x4s to smash glass windows and doors. The plywood barricade that was protecting the police station was used to start a fire at the East Precinct station.
