VIDEO: Riot Police Clash With Occupy Portland Protesters

By WW Staff

This footage was taken by WW reporters earlier today, when police moved in to clear Occupy Portland protesters from Lownsdale and Chapman parks. TV media has been reporting that police only used batons to push protesters back, but this footage appears to show an officer striking his baton down on the crowds.---
