Dozens of people wearing militarized body armour are arriving early for a far-right rally on Saturday in Portland, Ore., that is expected to attract thousands who support U.S. President Donald Trump and his "law and order" re-election campaign.
The rally is taking place as tensions boil over nationwide following the decision not to charge police officers in Louisville, Ky., for killing Breonna Taylor.
Two hours before the event was to start, dozens of people began showing up, some packed into the beds of pickup trucks. Almost everyone was wearing some sort of militarized body armour, including helmets and protective vests. Many flew American flags or black flags bearing the logo of the Three Percenters, another far-right group, and some wore Make America Great Again hats.
