Ted Wheeler protesters, Police declare riot outside Portland mayor's

Ted Wheeler protesters,  Police declare riot outside Portland mayor's.

Police moved in late Monday night and declared a gathering of protesters outside the Northwest Portland home of Mayor Ted Wheeler a riot.

Hundreds of protesters “celebrated” the mayor’s birthday while wearing party hats, launching fireworks and marching with a large sign that read: “Resign.”

Police said the group broke windows, burglarized a business, and lit a fire in an occupied apartment building.

A garbage can was lit on fire in the middle of the street and then it turned into a party atmosphere as protesters danced to the "Macarena." Protesters then added other pieces of furniture to the flames and started another fire in the street.
