PPB officers have arrested at least 7 people in the last half hour, and PSU Campus Safety arrested another one. More arrests may follow if necessary to keep people for breaching the library and remaining in the closed park.

As expected, officers have encountered numerous barricades inside the library, mostly piled up furniture. Officers are working through them. We are taking our time and emphasizing safety for all involved.

Rumors have circulated that officers in the library have "tear gas." This is incorrect. Officers have standard issue 40mm less-lethal launchers. They're a tool we have for daily patrol and public order events. They're use is regulated by PPB use of force policy.

There are rumors that city bureaus have been involved in the planning process for some of today's events. That is not true.

Arrests may not happen in the moment, PPB has consistently done follow-up investigations, made arrests, and forwarded cases to the
@DAMikeSchmidt
for prosecution. Just because arrests are not made at the scene does not mean that people are not being charged with crimes later. 5/5

People should keep themselves apart and avoid physical confrontation. While the Portland is supportive of people exercising their constitutional free speech and assembly rights, we know that violence and injuries are avoidable. Violence is not protected free speech. 4/5

The message from
