Protests against police violence in the United States are taking place daily in Portland after the death of African-American George Floyd , who was strangled by a white police officer during a violent arrest in May. The movement was further strengthened after African-American Jacob Blake was wounded in a police shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Hundreds of cars in support of the US president arrived in an organized manner on Saturday in Portland, downtown where protesters from the Black Lives Matter movement gathered, sparking an exchange of insults, quarrels and the firing of paintball and tear gas, according to amateur footage. Local police reported "violence by protesters and counter-protesters" and police arrests. The shots resounded around 8.45pm local time in the city center and police found the victim shot in the chest. It is unknown at this time whether the death was linked to the protests, and an investigation is open.

In the United States, the police are under the jurisdiction of the local government. "In less than an hour, our National Guard would solve those problems," Trump tweeted. "The people of Portland will no longer endure this insecurity for long. The mayor is an imbecile. Send the National Guard!" He added, calling for the establishment of "the establishment of law and order." Division policy Democrats, on the other hand, accuse the president of adding fuel to the fire and inciting violence. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler sent an open letter to Donald Trump on Friday warning him of his “politics of division and demagoguery”. “We know you have concluded that images of violence and vandalism are your only passport to re-election,” Wheeler wrote.
