Tensions boiled over into unrest following a vigil for a Black man shot and killed by law enforcement in a city near Portland, Oregon, in southwestern Washington state.

People gather during a counter protest against Black Lives Matter in Vancouver, Wash., Friday, Oct. 30, 2020, after a candlelight vigil for Kevin Peterson Jr., who was killed in Thursday's shooting with police involved. The Clark County Sheriff's office has not released any details on the Thursday evening shooting in Hazel Dell, but a man told The Oregonian/OregonLive that his 21-year-old son was fatally shot by police.

Hundreds of people gathered for the vigil Friday evening, with some holding signs reading, “Honk for Black lives. White silence is violence” and “Scream his name.”Nearby, tensions flared between left- and right-wing protesters. Video recorded by journalists in a parking lot showed two groups of people shouting at each other. Also, some armed demonstrators gathered near a building they told reporters they were protecting.

Authorities declared an unlawful assembly and ordered protesters to disperse. At least one person appeared to have been detained, according to video posted online by a journalist. Authorities have not named the person who was shot, but Kevin E. Peterson Sr. told The Oregonian/OregonLive the person was his son, Kevin E. Peterson Jr. Atkins referenced the Peterson family in his remarks but did not confirm Peterson was the person who was killed.

Narrative

What weapon did he have?

Riot

He was literally shooting at the police. How does this turn into a headline or protest?

The Killing of anyone is abhorrent. Just look at the amount of Police Officers over the last four years, that have been murdered while sitting in their patrol cars, protecting our properties, and our lives! And what rewards do the Police Departments get, DEFUNDING.

When's the vigil for the two black teenagers killed in Seattle's 'CHOP' zone?

Law and Order!!

We keep it's cool

So nine paragraphs into the story we find out he was shooting at the cops. Thanks for leading with that kind of useful piece of info. 🙄

Staged protests to hurt voting margins.

Purple drank.

Armed and dangerous criminal, shot by the police. That news used to make us feel safe. Now we are supposed to fear the police and feel for the criminal. What? WHEN?

There's video footage of right wing protesters armed coming to vigil looking for trouble. At a VIGIL after the death of a black man. In Vancouver Washington shots fired by right wing terrorists.

Armed Black Man - don't leave THAT out!

'Unrest' is now a euphemism for sporadic shooting during an unlawful assembly.

Damn, maybe if he didnt fire a gun at cops he’d still be alive.

Got some MK Ultra with a little bit of Spychodelics? It works wonder. Psyops 101

Mention the prep fired first.

now its just a black man 'killed' by cops no other details,

thanks for this news

No, these aren't 'tensions', these are far-right terrorists intimidating and assaulting people on the street
