Rev. Jesse Jackson leads Ferguson protest in Portland, followed by clashes with police
Kari Chisholm
On Saturday night, a small group of protestors and police clashed in downtown Portland. The activists were gathered to bring attention to issues of police brutality and racism, as once again brought to the nation's attention by the events in Ferguson, Missouri. Earlier in the afternoon, Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke to a larger crowd in Portland.
The following is video from a live report in the 11 p.m. hour by KOIN's Joel Iwanaga and includes video of the Jackson's speech and interview.
Were you in Portland during any of the protests over the last several days -- either as a participant or an observer? What do you see, hear, and experience?
