Portland Looters Raid Apple Store, Pioneer Place and Downtown Shops Until Wee Hours - Willamette Week

PORTLAND NEEDS WILLAMETTE WEEK.

Portland rioters smashed shop windows and looted downtown stores until nearly 4 am today.

The looting followed a protest of the May 25 police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

What followed for the next five hours was a wave of property destruction and looting unrivaled in Portland since 2016 protests of President Donald Trump's election.

The damage was confined to a relatively small geographic swath of the city: about 10 square blocks of downtown, between the Willamette River and Interstate 405.

That was a contrast to a peaceful vigil Friday night in North Portland, where many of the protesters were black.
