Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Demonstrators returned to downtown Portland Friday to call for police reforms after taking a hiatus of more than a week due to unhealthy air quality.
The protests had continued for more than 101 days, beginning at the end of May and stalling last week after smoke from wildfires throughout the region choked the city with smoke, with air quality consistently being rated as hazardous or unhealthy until the end of this week.
