PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Another night of nationwide protests against Donald Trump's election came to a head in Portland, where thousands marched and some smashed store windows, lit firecrackers and sparked a dumpster blaze. Police termed the protest a riot and used "less lethal munitions" to help clear the streets.

Some 4,000 protesters surged into the downtown area late Thursday night with chants like "we reject the president-elect!"

Officers began physically pushing back against the crowd that at times threw objects at them as midnight approached, arresting several people and using flash-bang devices and types of smoke or tear gas to force people to disperse.

After several orders to leave, police said officers used "less lethal munitions," such as pepper spray and rubber projectiles. Live video footage showed officers firing what appeared to be the non-lethal items. It wasn't immediately clear if anyone was hit.

Protest number continued to dwindle through the night and as the early morning hours wore on, police announced to remaining clusters of protesters to immediately disperse or be "subject to arrest and the use of riot-control agents." Police said they made 26 arrests.

Around the country from New York to Chicago to California, in red states as well as blue, hundreds of demonstrators marched through streets, many for the third straight night though in somewhat smaller numbers.

Trump himself fired back late Thursday, tweeting: "Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!"

In Denver, protesters managed to shut down Interstate 25 near downtown Denver briefly Thursday night. Police said demonstrators made their way onto the freeway and traffic was halted in the northbound and southbound lanes for about a half-hour. Protesters also briefly shut down interstate highways in Minneapolis and Los Angeles.

In San Francisco's downtown, high-spirited high school students marched through, chanting "not my president" and holding signs urging a Donald Trump eviction. They waved rainbow banners and Mexican flags, as bystanders in the heavily Democratic city high-fived the marchers from the sidelines.

"As a white, queer person, we need unity with people of color, we need to stand up," said Claire Bye, a 15-year-old sophomore at Academy High School. "I'm fighting for my rights as an LGBTQ person. I'm fighting for the rights of brown people, black people, Muslim people."

In New York City, a large group of demonstrators once again gathered outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue Thursday night. They chanted angry slogans and waved banners bearing anti-Trump messages.

"You got everything straight up and down the line," demonstrator David Thomas said. "You got climate change, you got the Iran deal. You got gay rights, you got mass deportations. Just everything, straight up and down the line, the guy is wrong on every issue."

In Philadelphia, protesters near City Hall held signs bearing slogans like "Not Our President," ''Trans Against Trump" and "Make America Safe For All."

About 500 people turned out at a protest in Louisville, Kentucky and in Baltimore, hundreds of people marched to the stadium where the Ravens were playing a football game.

Hundreds of protesters demonstrated outside Trump Tower in Chicago and a growing group was getting into some shoving matches with police in Oakland, California.

Mostly peaceful protests also surged again in Los Angles. City News Service reported that dozens of protesters were arrested around midnight when they refused to budge from an area.

As expected, the demonstrations prompted some social media blowback from Trump supporters accusing protesters of sour grapes or worse, though there were no significant counter-protests.

Trump supporters said the protesters were not respecting the democratic process.

As of Thursday, Democrat Hillary Clinton was leading Trump in votes nationwide 47.7 percent to 47.5 percent, but Trump secured victory in the Electoral College

They need to go home, think things through and make plans.
Trashing property and violent demonstrations will only make their positions more vulnerable.

I agree. Plus, burning down property and inciting violence will just make everything worse as they'll be labeled anarchists without a cause and incense the far right even more

That's democracy, if they cannot accept it then it just shows their own emotional immaturity.

"Far right". What does that even mean anymore? Did you ever stop to think that maybe most of the people you label "far right" are just ordinary people?

You should probably start to worry more about the "far left" because that is who these rioters are and they are going to be the source of most of the trouble going froward from here.

You mean how Trump claimed if he didn't win it was rigged?

No one owes Trump a chance. He's a biggot and a hot head. He is getting this for those reasons. Had he acted with class and decency during the election, this wouldn't be happening.

Trump earned his protests. He will now have a very rough 4 years.

Not to mention he completely disrespected the office when Obama was in it with his birther non sense. TRUMP will now get all that back 10 fold.

You don't get to shit on people then claim ok everyone settle down...

Classic case of Stockholm Syndrome, protesting against the man who took the first step of setting them free from establishment control!

Hail God Emperor Trump!

The city here is going crazy. The protests started out peaceful and respectful then, as they often do, they got co-opted by anarchists and other groups and now they are rioting, blocking traffic, destroying things. They gave the governor a list of demands and they are hysterical because none of them have anything to do with Trump being president.

Definitely terrible doughnuts. I see idiots all the time carrying these through the airport to bring home for some reason.

With that said, Portland actually has a great food scene.

Exactly. Voodoo is okay, but it is way overrated and not worth standing in line an hour for.

But Portland as a whole is a food lover's paradise.
