Protesters destroyed 19 cars, then headed to the Pearl area. Demonstrators there broke glass of office buildings and enterprises.

USA Today notes that the meetings were initially peaceful, but at some point the protesters merged with a group of anarchists. After that, the pogroms began. Portland Police on his page in Twitter also notes that protesters tried to stop the anarchists, and even shouted “peaceful protest” so as not to provoke a police response.
