Demonstrators in Portland honor gang member who shot two and pulled gun on police

PORTLAND, OR – After over 110 days of demonstrations and riots in Portland, protestors gathered on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, to honor a Rollin’ 60s Crips gang member who shot two people and then pointed a gun at police.

On September 30, 2018, according to the OPB, two officers were present at an area known for frequent gang activity.  Fights and a gun had been reported.

The officers observed a fight break out among several people and noted that one person fired several shots at close range at the group.

That person, later identified as gang member Patrick Kimmons, ran away from the group while tucking his revolver in his pants.  One officer commanded Kimmons to put his hands up, but instead Kimmons began to pull out the revolver.  The other officer told Kimmons to drop the gun.
