Seattle police say people tagged the exterior of the West Precinct multiple times as a large demonstration took place in front of the building on Friday night. "In the spirit of offering trust and full transparency, I want to advise you that SPD officers will be carrying pepper spray and blast balls today, as would be typical for events that carry potential to include violence," Seattle Police Department (SPD) Chief Carmen Best announced before Saturday's protest. About 174 miles to the south, tensions remained high in Portland, Oregon, which has become the scene of a highly controversial crackdown by federal agents deployed to the city by the Trump administration, in what the White House described as a mission to protect federal buildings and monuments. Amid pushback from local officials, the inspector general of the US Justice Department on Thursday opened an official investigation into the federal agents' actions, but a federal judge in Oregon on Friday rejected a legal bid by the state to stop the agents from detaining protesters.Riot Declared in Downtown Portland July 26-Arrests Made (Photo) Early on Sunday, authorities declared a riot amid clashes in which federal agents fired tear gas and protesters toppled a fence erected around a federal court house that has become the central focus of the demonstrations. Police, who closed the area, also said protesters had thrown fireworks at federal law enforcement, who have been accused of using excessive force and of detaining protesters in unmarked vehicles far from federal sites.  Also on the west coast, in Oakland, California, protesters set fire to a courthouse, damaged a police station and assaulted officers after a peaceful demonstration intensified late on Saturday, police said. In Aurora, Colorado, a vehicle drove through a group of protesters as they walked on Interstate 225 on Saturday in a protests calling attention to Elijah McClain, an unarmed black man who died after police put him in a chokehold in the suburb last year. Police said a protester fired a weapon during the incident, striking at least one person who was taken to a hospital in stable condition. No one else was immediately reported injured. Authorities said the vehicle was towed and they were investigating.Meanwhile, amid protests in Austin, Texas, a man was fatally shot on Saturday, police spokesperson Katrina Ratliff told reporters. A witness told the Austin American-Statesman that the incident occured after a vehicle honked, turned down a road and then sped toward protesters. A man, who the witness said was carrying a rifle, then approached the vehicle and was shot by the driver, who sped away. Initial reports indicated "the victim may have been carrying a rifle," Ratliff told reporters, adding that the suspect was detained and was cooperating with police. In Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday, a group of heavily armed Black protesters marched to demand justice for Breonna Taylor, a Black woman killed in March by police officers who burst into her apartment.Scores of demonstrators, members of a Black militia dubbed NFAC, carried semi-automatic rifles and shotguns and wore black paramilitary gear as they walked in formation to a fenced off intersection where they were separated by police from a smaller group of armed counter-protesters.During the gathering, three members of the militia were accidentally shot, police said. Officers met the victim at Swedish Hospital early this morning, where he was receiving treatment for a head injury. On Friday night, a large group gathered in front of the precinct around 9 p.m. Police say someone reported seeing several people spray painting on the walls a short time later.SPD says it has scheduled cleaning of the building.
