(94,376 posts)Police in Portland, Oregon, declared an unlawful assembly Saturday after antifa protesters clashed with far-right demonstrators, including the Proud Boys, in the downtown area, resulting in multiple injuries.
Authorities believe some demonstrators during the noontime action threw "milkshakes" that were actually cups filled with quick-drying concrete, a powder-and-water mixture that can set in as little as 10 minutes.
Police have received information that some of the milkshakes thrown today during the demonstration contained quick-drying cement," the Portland Police Department tweeted. "We are encouraging anyone hit with a substance today to report it to police."
A woman was arrested for allegedly throwing a substance, police said in a statement.
