US National Guard contins riots in Portland

The US Multnomah County Police Office reported, yesterday evening, Wednesday, that riots broke out in “Portland”, “Oregon,” and eyewitnesses reported that a number of demonstrators smashed windows and destroyed property, as these practices appeared in different footage on social media.

Many demonstrators took to the streets to protest against the appeals of the campaign court of the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, to halt the counting of votes in swing states such as “Pennsylvania and Michigan”, where they were seen carrying signs “count every vote.”

Oregonians voted for Biden in Tuesday’s election, and re-elected two Democratic senators.

For her part, Oregon Governor, Democrat Kate Brown, decided to activate the state’s National Guard to ensure law enforcement in dealing with the wave of unrest.

The statement issued by it stressed the need to stand firm in the face of any acts of violence, to preserve public order and to ensure the safety of society.
