UPDATE AT END OF STORY. Reporters in Portland, Oregon were attacked by anti-Trump rioters Sunday night, according to Portland Police. The protesters also handed out leaflets warning people to not record the riots.

One reporter, Mike Bivins, who was threatened by the pro-Hillary mob decided to not report the threats but changed his mind after the announcement by police that a news crew had been attacked. Bivins is student at Portland State University and was reporting for PSU”s Pacific Sentinel.

“@MrAndyNgo that flier also came through my direct messages :-/. It’s definitely dangerous out there.”

Bivins also noted a film crew camera had been destroyed by rioters.

a local news camera was smashed, and threatening fliers have been circulating. The danger is no secret. Perhaps you're not… — Mike Bivins (@itsmikebivins) November 13, 2016

“@fredamoon a local news camera was smashed, and threatening fliers have been circulating. The danger is no secret. Perhaps you’re not…”

Bivins posted video of Portland police dropping in to clear out a group of rioters (wait for it). Being a student reporter, Bivins ran away from the story (cussing up a storm) instead covering it, but he captured the intensity of the police action. (EXPLANATION FROM BIVINS AT END OF STORY–He was headed to his other job.)

“LIVE on #Periscope: #PortlandProtest. I’m here coincidentally”

@KristinnFR hi. Please update this story to reflect the fact that I was on my way to my other job. https://t.co/FRubjfv6Nb — Mike Bivins (@itsmikebivins) November 15, 2016

“@KristinnFR hi. Please update this story to reflect the fact that I was on my way to my other job.”

If it were up to me I would have stayed. Cops also looked poised to make another mass arrest and i had no time for detainment.

I was scheduled to clock in 25 minutes later. Of course I’m gonna scramble away. And I’m a part time student.
