“Some people in the crowd on N. Lombard St. and N. Campbell Ave are involved in criminal activity. It appears these people are trying to break into the Portland Police Association office,” the Portland PD tweeted. “To those attempting to break into and/or damage the Portland Police Association building: Stop now or you may be cited, arrested, or subject to use of force.”
They added, “if you are at this location to peacefully protest, know this criminal behavior is occurring and leave the area now.”
