(Reuters) - Portland Police urged a crowd that had marched towards the Portland Police Association (PPA) building late on Monday to stop attempts to enter or damage the premises, saying it may use tear gas to disperse the demonstration.

The police said it had learnt that people near the PPA building in the city's North Lombard Street "may be attempting to force entry into the building" after a march of about 200 people stopped at the building, causing traffic to be blocked.
