Portland Police declared a riot on Monday after roughly hundreds of protesters marched on Mayor Ted Wheeler's residence at a condominium tower to demand his resignation, according to reports.
The crowd of about 200 were there to mockingly celebrate the mayor's birthday before the demonstration quickly turned destructive and an "arson fire" was reported, police said.
Protesters lit a fire in the street, as some danced to the "Macarena," according to Allison Mechanic, a reporter for KATU News who posted the video on Twitter. Others placed a picnic table from a nearby business above the fire to feed the blaze. read more

Biden says Trump ‘fomented’ violence, but Dems have their own history of urging confrontation
Rep. Waters famously called on people to 'create a crowd' and 'push back'
By Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News
Democrats say President Trump has inflamed racial tensions and -- in the words of rival Joe Biden on Monday -- “fomented” violence through his comments and rhetoric amid the ongoing unrest in cities across the country.
But some Democrats and critics of Trump also have a history of encouraging supporters to be confrontational with counter-protesters and even local law enforcement.
The most memorable example is that of Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who in the summer of 2018 urged people to “absolutely harass” members of Trump’s staff when they’re spotted in public. read more
