△Clashes re-emerged on the 58th day of the Portland protests in the United States
Thousands of protesters gathered in downtown Portland on the same day, holding slogans and chanting slogans such as "Black people's fate is fate" to oppose racial discrimination and violent law enforcement. In the past few days, federal law enforcement officials have frequently used violence to disperse protesters and aroused dissatisfaction among protesters.
That night, the protesters marched outside the federal court in downtown Portland, demanding that federal law enforcement officers take the blame and resign; there were also many protesters who gathered outside the hotel where federal law enforcement officers stayed, chanting "Federal law enforcement officers go home." .
That night, clashes broke out again between protesters and federal law enforcement officials. A large number of federal law enforcement officers armed with batons tried to disperse the protesters, and again used rubber bombs, flash bombs, tear gas, etc. to disperse the protesters. Many protesters were arrested.
Some people who participated in the protest said that racism in the United States is systemic and rooted in nature, and they called on the American people to change this status quo.
Portland protesters: American racism is systemic. This country is built on the basis of white supremacy. It is rooted in all our systems.
Portland protesters: We can bring some changes to this land, and we are protesting in hopes of changes. Carry out police reforms to improve the living environment of our communities, including improvements in law enforcement. We hope that we can use this to make everyone understand that we will not give in. We are not here to make a game or a farce. This is true and we must carry out police reform.
