02:06 "'No -- I'm gonna help my husband!' she said. Surveillance video shows what happened next. With weapons drawn, both officers rush to confront Carter. He can be seen dropping the weapon and running out the door, but the husband and wife duo pursued him. They held him at gunpoint a few blocks away until LMPD officers arrived to arrest him."

04:03 "In the past, right-wing would-be leaders have seemingly exploited clashes with Portland left-wing counter-protesters as a tactic to raise their profile, intentionally walking into hostile crowds to spark a backlash that is captured on video. Often turning violent, such protests have fueled millions of dollars of expenses in police overtime."

05:23 "Howard, for his part, denies several aspects of the police report documenting conversations with him — for instance, that he doesn't have an address in Vancouver, that he flew in from out of town in advance of the rally, that he intended to fly KKK members in from other states and that he has a warrant out for his arrest in the state of Washington. 'I don't know where that's coming from,' he said."

11:04 "Though Howard did not show up on Feb. 8, others did, including about 200 protesters, many wearing black 'anti-fascist,' or 'antifa'-style masks. Police seemed to show little sympathy for those who appeared to try to provoke them, and three arrests were made."
