"This is a war, guys," she said. "We're getting ready to get armored up around here."

"I will continue with my mission by any means necessary."

Winston's son Patrick was shot and killed by police in 2018, after he charged them with a gun drawn, shooting five times and injuring two officers, .

The officers involved in the shooting were cleared of any wrongdoing by a grand jury.

"I know you got a gun, but so do I," Winston said. "Go ahead and shoot me - I'm shooting back."

"We're here to take our streets back," she added during her hour-long speech.

The Black Lives Matter protester also slammed officers who pull over black drivers or are involved in police shootings.

She said cops who pull over black drivers are "liars" if they say it is anything other than the color of their skin.

Those officers are "filthy, disgusting animals" and should "go to hell", Winston said.

She said that officers who are involved in police shootings should be executed.

"They need to send you to the electric chair and let you fry like a piece of burnt bacon."

To the cops charged with killing George Floyd over Memorial Day, Winston wishes they died at birth.

"Your mother's umbilical cord should have wrapped around your neck and choked you just the way you choked George Floyd, you filthy animal," she said to cheers from the crowd.

"It should have wrapped around your neck so many times to where you yelled, 'I cannot breathe!'"

The death of George Floyd has sparked thousands of protests across the country for the past few months.

Portland alone has had over 80 straight days of protesting.
