PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say 21 people were arrested or detained early Sunday after throwing fireworks and mortars as they clashed with police during the latest rally decrying police brutality.

Several officers were injured when fireworks and mortars exploded near them.
Portland police arrested 13 people while Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Services detained eight others.
