Portland
The chaos again raged in Portland with a riot declared and numerous arrests of rioters. The night started badly with one man being set on fire from a molotov cocktail thrown at police that missed and hit protesters. This marked the 101 night of consecutive violence in Portland with no end in sight and the police arrested 59 protesters, more than any other night.

This was followed by the police using tear gas and rushing the protesters to clear the streets.
