Sept 6 (Reuters) - Protesters in Portland threw rocks and fire bombs at police who in turn used tear gas on Saturday night and at least one person was injured, on the 100th day of demonstrations in the Oregon city against racism and police brutality.

Police described what they called "tumultuous and violent conduct" by protesters on the city's Southeast Stark Street.

"Fire bombs were thrown at officers, injuring at least one community member", police said https://bit.ly/34lgHyK on Twitter while re-tweeting a video posted by a New York Times reporter showing fire bombs being thrown and a protester running with his legs on fire.

Police used tear gas to disperse the gathering, the Oregonian newspaper reported, estimating the number of protesters at around 400.

Portland has seen nightly protests for over three months that have at times turned into violent clashes between demonstrators and officers, as well as between right- and left-wing groups.

Police said they made arrests but did not give a number.

"There were hundreds at the beginning (of Saturday night's demonstrations). Arrests have been made, yes", police told Reuters in an emailed statement when asked about the crowd size and whether arrests were made.

Elsewhere on Saturday, armed police supporters and anti-racism demonstrators clashed in Louisville before the Kentucky Derby horse race, while Rochester police also used tear gas to disperse protesters.

Demonstrations erupted around the United States following the death in May of George Floyd, a Black man, after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

President Donald Trump signed a memo on Wednesday that threatens to cut federal funding to "lawless" cities, including Portland. His Democratic challenger in the Nov. 3 presidential election, Joe Biden, has accused Trump of stoking violence with his rhetoric.

Its come to the point where cops have to wait until they're within a fraction of a second of losing their own life before using deadly force.....and even then its questioned if the subject is black.

This guy was the wrong color, so no big deal and no protests

These guys obviously held off as long as possible.......and that is what it will take to avoid any uproar from the radical groups. 

It's going to cost many cops lives waiting until there is absolutely no question a suspect is out to kill....many times it will be too late. Criminals are definitely at an advantage now.

I believe that is an old video and the 2nd cop was killed or grievously injured.

The second the guy got back up both officers should have put more rounds in him.   They already determined deadly force was necessary and justified.   Continue to use it until he is no longer a threat.

Shooting them doesn't seem to be stopping these people, Molotov cocktails and firebombs might be where its at.

Even though it was blurred out you can see he was bleeding pretty good.   Getting close and putting some rounds in the head or more center mass when he tried to get up should have been done.  One of the 2 officers should have had their shotgun out as well.  Tasers never should be deployed when they have a knife or gun.

Agreed on shotgun.  I'm still on board with firebombs.
