#Portland police officers injured by fireworks during riots

The officers were struck around 10 p.m., as protesters tried to take over the Portland Police Association office, prompting cops to declare a riot for the second night in a row.

One officer suffered burns to her neck and had her face mask partially melted, while a piece of the firework injured the other officer’s leg, Portland police said.

Sixteen people were arrested on charges ranging from interfering with a peace officer to disorderly conduct.

Earlier in the night, about 200 protesters gathered at a park for the march to the police union building about a half-mile away, with one declaring through a megaphone, “Tonight we will be civilly disobedient. And there’s nothing peaceful about the protest,” KOIN reported.

They then tried barricading the street with fencing and dumpsters and lit a dumpster on fire during the march. At one point after a riot was declared, they tossed eggs at cops.

A similar scene played out Saturday night when the anti-cop demonstrators broke through the PPA office and lit a fire inside the building.
