Holy shit, look at the difference in the articles about Portland's 2020 protests:
![Wikipedia's section for the George Floyd riots in Portland: From May 28, 2020, until spring 2021,[65] there were daily protests about the murder of George Floyd by police, and racial injustice. There were instances of looting, vandalism, and police actions causing injuries. One protestor was killed by an opposing one.[66][67][68][69] Local businesses reported losses totaling millions of dollars as the result of vandalism and looting, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.[70] Some protests caused injury to protesters and police. In July, federal officers were deployed to safeguard federal property; their presence and tactics were criticized by Oregon officials, who demanded they leave, while lawsuits were filed against local and federal law enforcement alleging wrongful actions by them.[71][72][73][74]
On May 25, 2021, a protest to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Floyd's murder caused property damage, and was followed by a number of arrests.[75][76]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qtz6kcu4i6lzldkvz3zd6tku/bafkreidviynhiim3bxtq7tq4tjafphm3fpw4exho6lh323ieotm5bxh4gu@jpeg)
![Grokipedia's section for the George Floyd riots in Portland:
The 2020 civil unrest in Portland commenced on May 29, immediately following George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25, manifesting as demonstrations against perceived police brutality that rapidly incorporated elements of rioting, arson, and assaults on public property and personnel. [64] These events persisted nearly nightly through November 16, encompassing over 100 consecutive nights of demonstrations declared as riots by authorities due to involvement of five or more individuals in violent acts under Oregon law. [64] [65] A primary focus of aggression was the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse, where rioters deployed commercial fireworks, lasers, and incendiary devices in repeated attempts to breach and ignite the structure, accompanied by chants opposing U.S. institutions. [66] Federal Protective Service officers sustained over 245 injuries from assaults involving rocks, ball bearings, and other projectiles during protection efforts. [66] By August 2020, U.S. Department of Justice records indicated 74 individuals facing federal charges for offenses including assault on federal officers, arson, and civil disorder committed amid the unrest. [67]
The Portland Police Bureau allocated $6.9 million in overtime expenditures to manage the disturbances, distinguishing between peaceful assemblies and violent episodes while prioritizing de-escalation where feasible. [66] [64] Local responses included declarations of unlawful assemblies, though enforcement faced constraints from city policies limiting use of force and non-interference directives toward federal sites.
Subsequent effects encompassed elevated violent crime rates, with homicides and shootings surging in the years immediately following, peaking before a decline by 2023 amid policy reversals. [69] The unrest contributed to an "urban doom loop," exacerbating business disruptions from vandalism and insecurity, alongside a net population exodus that p](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qtz6kcu4i6lzldkvz3zd6tku/bafkreiby5m37crzyjlmk777wspkvrgfc6kdar3cskdwadynnqnpuemiqby@jpeg)
