About 15 people were arrested during protests in Portland after a fire started outside a police precinct, authorities say. Police say a mattress was lit on fire and firefighters were brought in to extinguish the blaze.
A police officer searches a woman during the 100th consecutive day of demonstrations in Portland, Ore., on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2020. The demonstrations, which began over the killing of George Floyd, have led to two deaths and frequent clashes between protesters and law enforcement.
Officials warned demonstrators against entering the precinct property, saying they would be trespassing and subject to arrest. Since Multnomah County has a burn ban in effect due to extremely dry conditions, firefighters came in to extinguish the blaze.
