Police across the US gearing up for widespread violence following election
Unrest anticipated by police after election; insight from Chicago Alderman Anthony Napolitano.
Police in Oregon reportedly arrested at least two people after several protesters broke windows at Portland State University’s public safety office and a nearby Starbucks and threw a "flammable liquid" inside.
Officers were able to stop the “possible arson,” the Multnomah County Sheriff's office said in a tweet.
Police declared an unlawful assembly and the group was ordered to disperse.
Officers said they had been concerned that the march was a “direct action” event, which in the past have often led to vandalism, KATU-TV reported.
