Today, we’re talking with Portland Mercury reporter Jeremiah Hayden about the string of protests that happened in town this past weekend, including Saturday’s march, where federal agents shot tear gas and flash bangs into a crowd that included children. We're also looking into responses from local leaders and what exactly they can do about any of this.
