Police quickly declared a brief Northeast Portland march against capitalism and police violence a riot Saturday after some protesters smashed windows at several businesses along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Posters advertised the Halloween night march with a tagline of “Capitalism is Scary.”
The march began around 7:15 p.m., when about 80 people left Irving Park and marched south on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. “No cops! No prisons! Total abolition,” the crowd chanted.
As the march progressed, some people smashed windows of nearby buildings, including a bank, a real estate agency, two phone company stores, a hotel and a Starbucks. The windows of an AT&T store were smashed out as a worker was inside. People in the crowd attempted to prevent filming of the vandalism.
