The Great Portland Round-Up: How Many Got Wrangled in Those Wacky Riots?
Ah, Portland. City of Roses and...well, let's just say they've had a bit of a reputation lately. Those nightly protests after the whole George Floyd thing sure got...heated. And by heated, we mean things got a little spicy, with some folks taking things a tad too far. But hey, that's beside the point! The question on everyone's lips is: how many people actually got themselves arrested during those wild times?

| How Many People Were Arrested In Portland Riots |
Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's Number Time!
Here's the juicy bit you've all been waiting for: the numbers. Now, depending on who you ask, you might get a slightly different answer. Local police love a good riot declaration (they racked up a cool 17!), and with that came a whole lotta arrests. We're talking over 500 people who got themselves a little too acquainted with the inside of a police station.
But wait, there's more! Remember those pesky feds? They like getting in on the action too. Uncle Sam decided to slap federal charges on a cool 74 people for some not-so-peaceful protesting.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
So, the grand total? We're looking at somewhere in the ballpark of 574 folks who learned a valuable lesson about permit applications and non-violent assembly.
Hold on, There's More Fun to Be Had!
Here's the thing about riots: they're messy. It's hard to keep track of exactly who's doing what, especially when things get a little, shall we say, enthusiastic. So, the exact numbers might be a tad fuzzy, but hey, that's half the fun, right?
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
Bonus Fun Fact: Apparently, there were only seven nights out of those 90-something protests that were completely free of fireworks, vandalism, and arson. Sounds like a wild ride!
