PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say vandals in Portland threw flares and paint-filled balloons at the house of a city commissioner after he cast the deciding vote against cutting $18 million from city’s police budget.

The vandalism happened late Thursday night after 60 people protesting Commissioner Dan Ryan’s vote marched to his home. Some in the crowd also smashed a window and broke planters.

Police declared a riot that allows officers to use more aggressive than normal police tactics. Two people were arrested.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Department says it was the fourth time this week that Ryan’s home was targeted.
