Police pepper spray crowd at Burnside Bridge

Last Friday, January 20th, was inauguration day. And shortly after Donald Trump was sworn in as president, protestors gathered in Portland’s Pioneer Square for an anti-Trump rally and march.

KBOO reporter Ken Jones was there with a recorder and talked with several of the protestors. All these interviews were conducted in the Square before the march began. You’ll also hear a direct report after the march ended at the western end of the Burnside Bridge.

Marchers were stopped from advancing on the bridge by a line of police in riot gear. The police set off flash-bangs and directed pepper spray at the marchers.
