The historian Niall Ferguson said that the capitulation of elites is underappreciated as a cause of revolutions.

As a protest outside Wheeler’s condo got underway around 7 p.m., about a dozen demonstrators congregated in the building’s lobby. The group pledged to stay there until the mayor listened to demands to address systemic police violence and racism.

The list included reducing the Portland Police Bureau budget, pledging never to vote for another police budget increase and resigning as mayor and police commissioner.

The mayor never emerged. The group eventually left after more than three hours.
