American Flag Burned as Clashes Erupt at Patriot Prayer March in Portland

A demonstration organized by the right-wing Patriot Prayer group ended in clashes on Saturday night, October 13, with a brawl erupting among counter-protesters and an American flag being burned on the street.

Portland police said they saw hard-knuckled gloves, firearms, knives and batons at the demonstration, with at least one fight reported.

This footage was shared by Bryan Colombo, who said the flag was burned by members of the Antifa movement who were counter-protesting the Patriot Prayer march. The flag was burned at the site of the police-involved shooting of an African-American man in September, he said. Credit: Bryan Colombo via Storyful
