On Friday, November 19, 2021 at about 7:00p.m., Portland Police learned that a group had gathered at Southwest Main Street near Southwest 2nd Avenue blocking traffic. A passing driver called and said someone in the group broke his vehicle's window. A short time later the group focused its attention on a metal gate securing a ramp leading to the MCDC.
