Protesters set fire on some mattresses that were put out eventually by firefighters, Portland police said in a statement.
The police said there were no injuries, adding they arrested 15 people on charges like interfering with a peace officer, disorderly conduct, possession of a dangerous device and reckless burning.
The development came a night after Portland police arrested 59 people and used tear gas late on Saturday as protesters threw rocks and fire bombs at officers.

Portland has seen nightly protests for over three months that have at times turned into violent clashes between demonstrators and officers, as well as between right- and left-wing groups.
Demonstrations erupted around the United States following the death in May of George Floyd, a Black man, after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

President Donald Trump signed a memo on Wednesday that threatens to cut federal funding to "lawless" cities, including Portland. His Democratic challenger in the Nov. 3 presidential election, Joe Biden, has accused Trump of stoking violence with his rhetoric.

And the "peaceful" protests continue on and on and on and on.....
It seems to never end.
Meanwhile back here in reality...

CNN? I thought said it was reality?
But, but, but, it wasn't the peaceful protesters. It was them darned outside agitators again....
Cue the "outside agitator" defense shields-----NOW!
Gonna get a lot worse before it gets better I think, much more if Trump is reelected.
I have no doubt some insane idiots will continue to "protest" and will be worse if Trump wins. With so many liberals out screaming at the sky and folks protesting, the streets will be filled!
And of course your Neo-Nazis.
Seems like we have a shit show on the horizon.
Oh, nothing will happen, remember that only peaceful protesters show up.
And yet 93% of BLM protests have been peaceful.
and yet 93% of BLM protests have been peaceful
Assuming that's right, you think that's a good thing !?! Imagine bragging that 7% of a groups activities are violent. The military's numbers are minuscule in comparison.
What percent of John Wayne Gacy's interactions with people were peaceful? 99.99? DO you defend Gacy as being "mostly peaceful" around kids?
What an insanely dumb standard to normalize violence.
And I am willing to bet that 93% of police do their jobs correctly and don't violate anyone's civil rights, too!
But what about your Neo-Nazi problem?
I don't have a neo-Nazi problem.
Do you?
What neo nazis?
probably something heard on CNN or MSNBC
Floyd died from all the drugs in his system.
Wrong. Not according to the Medical Examiner who would actually KNOW. But I won't expect you to understand what you are pushing is crap & you should be ashamed.
The autopsy report from Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office concludes the cause of death was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression." That conclusion, death due to heart failure, differs from the one reached by an independent examiner hired by the Floyd family; that report listed the cause of death as "asphyxiation from sustained pressure."
Lol OMG. If shit bag EVER had a chance of winning me over, it was done with this crappy comcercial I just saw. It was going on about how Mexicans and Blacks are hellbent on murdering me because I am white, but what really stood out to me was the end.... Damn I forgot, I guess racism was the only message...
Eh, never mind.

More just sympathizing with your "low" standards. I am merely trying to find a way to speak to you all in a way that you understand.
What i took from your post is that Trump's dick holds a lot of fascination for you.
No one else seems to be interested in it one way or the other, so what is your deal with it?
I don't have any deal with it. If micropenis is your thing, then it is your thing. Gay rights and all that.
I only ever mention it cuz I know it will infuriate him, and thus infuriate his whores.
Oh, I see now.
You must be a size queen.
Good on you!
Careful, your obsession is showing.
LOL.
Says the one who brought up Trump's dick all by his lonesome.
Says the guy focused on defending it.
I will always defend your right to be infatuated with trump dick
At least he's not swallowing it. It's really quite sad to watch about a third of America getting used to deep throating Trump lies to the point they no longer gag and are actually wanting four more years of it.
Let the obsession go.
Who brought it up in the first place?
Why, I believe it was you, wasn't it?
It’s like the meme said!
Four more years! Trump-Pence 2020! Keep America Great!
Arresting these thugs is a good thing but if they turn around and let them out it does no good, these idiots will be doing the same thing the next night. If the powers that be in portland want this crap to stop, arrest them, charge them, and put them on trial. If they are found guilty, throw them in prison. In other words, hold them accountable. Make them pay for their actions. Barring consequences, these idiots will not stop.
Idiot city council person in Portland made a statement that the riots in Portland were peaceful.
dumbass councilperson
Indeed!
