Radio host Jason Rantz joins ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ to explain what is happening on the West Coast

Portland police cracked down on protesters Friday night, detaining more than 100 people in hopes of preventing a second night of window-smashing and fire-setting.

Protestors had gathered in the Pearl District in downtown Portland around 8:30 p.m., but cops quickly warned anyone who blocked the streets would be arrested.

At around 9:20 p.m., cops said on Twitter they were setting up a perimeter around the demonstrators and detaining them.

But they said the detention was temporary and that protestors would be escorted out “one at a time.”

A crowd stood outside the perimeter chanting “let them go,” according to OregonLive, which also reported cops pepper-sprayed two demonstrators.

The detained protesters were released after being photographed individually by the police; it was unclear if any were charged with crimes.

Ongoing anti-police protests turned violent on Thursday when rioters smashed windows near a federal court and set fires. Police responded with tear gas and smoke bombs to drive away the crowds, the outlet reported.
