OP
This was in no way connected to any protests. Not by location or people involved.

The circumstances around why the shooting happened are still unclear. Some residents believe its gang-related, but Portland police have not released those details. The Portland Police Bureau has gone through some changes. The Gun Violence Reduction team, formerly the Gang Enforcement Unit, was disbanded in June and at that time, how shootings would be investigated was still up in the air.
----------------------
The shooting itself and the number of rounds fired aren't the only reasons police are rattled. For months now, they've been reporting spikes in shootings, stabbings and other violent crimes.
Last month, the trend culminated in a jarring headline: With 15 homicides, July 2020 was Portland's deadliest month in 30 years.

No clue as to why except guesses.
150 rounds is what, $40 worth of bullets? You really proved your point, kid.
