If you have nothing to do for about 30 minutes, here are two YouTube videos
that put you on the streets of PDX during yesterday's (11/17/11) N17 event.

Two things happened in PDX yesterday that were different.
For the first time, pepper spray was used on one woman.
And for the first time, the police in riot gear actually charged into the crowd.
I have not yet found a video of the pepper spray incident, but there is a pic making the rounds.

The first video below is primarily about officers in riot gear with NO badge or ID
The second is the charge of the police to clear one of the streets
By coincidence, I think these two videos were taken directly across the street from one another
