Portland’s protests against racial injustice seemed to be dwindling, then the federal government came to town, ratcheting up tension. Now, state and federal leaders said they’ve reached an agreement in which state troopers will protect the courthouse and federal forces will step away, some leaving as soon as Thursday.

On this episode, three of The Oregonian/OregonLive reporters most experienced in protest coverage discussed the latest situation on the ground in a small section of downtown. Eder Campuzano, our schools reporter, joined photojournalists Beth Nakamura and Dave Killen to discuss the latest developments.

We talked about tear gas and rubber bullets, the best images from the months of demonstrations and what people should know about the nightly protests if they haven’t been down there.
