According to the report, the march began at 9 pm local time. The number of protesters is estimated to be about 400, many of them wearing helmets, gas masks and body armor.

US
domestic politics increasingly split
On May 25, after Floyd, an African-American man in Minnesota, died during his arrest, anti-racism demonstrations broke out across the United States.
Among them, the Portland urban area demonstrations lasted the longest, and the demonstrations were relatively intense.
US media pointed out that since mid-July, demonstrations in Portland have escalated and violence has increased, and the police have begun to use tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
On August 29, a shooting incident occurred during a demonstration, killing one person.
A man who followed the right-wing organization "Pray for the Patriots" to participate in a parade in support of US President Trump was shot and killed in the streets of Portland, Oregon.
The Portland black man who participated in the demonstrations for more than 70 days said that he would like to see the local police's budget greatly reduced and use the money for other community needs.
He said that the demonstrations will continue for some time, "I think it will continue until the (US) election."
The occurrence of the conflict has also made the domestic politics of the United States more and more divided, and the two parties have constantly "choked" each other.
In July, Trump sent federal agents to Portland in protests to protect the federal courts. The Democrats and civil liberties organizations criticized the move as exceeding federal authority.
A few days ago, Trump signed a memorandum threatening to cut federal funding for "illegal" cities including Portland.
His Democratic challenger Joe Biden accused Trump of inciting violence with his words.
