PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Oregon's Portland Police said it arrested at least two dozen people "during riot" that emerged from a peaceful anti-Donald Trump protest escalated through violence by "anarchists."
About 4,000 people participated in the peak of the demonstration, which began as a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest but turned into what police described as a riot. The violence was encouraged by people not affiliated with the initial protest, Portland community organizer Teressa Raiford and Portland Police spokesman Pete Simpson said.
