A small protest caused delayed police response and ended with some broken windows in downtown Portland.
There were police vehicles parked outside the precinct. As officers went out to move their cars in an effort to prevent them from being damaged, the officers were pelted with icy snowballs by participants.
In an effort to avoid confrontation and de-escalate the situation, and due to lack of available resources, officers remained out of sight as much as possible. However, officers were forced to monitor in case the group became more violent or caused damage to city property.
In other words.
It was not that big of a deal, but we still could not handle the situation due to defunding. And any way, we protected our property, who cares about yours. GFY.
