(Worthy News) – The 61st night since the death of George Floyd was marked by clashes between police and demonstrators in Portland, Ore., and Tempe, Ariz., while hundreds more gathered in Austin, Texas, for a vigil honoring an AK-47-wielding Black Lives Matter protester gunned down over the weekend.

Monday evening in Portland began with speeches in Lownsdale Square, which sits across the street from where federal officers have been embedded to protect the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse. Speakers called for protesters to leave the building alone in order to effect real change against racial injustice.

Myke Tavarres, a former NFL player who frequents rallies in Portland, told the audience: “Burning that building down does not help Black people,” The Oregonian reported. But at another rally outside the Multnomah County Justice Center, Stand for Children organizer Elona Wilson seemed to encourage street demonstrations to continue. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
