Portland Police kill man at Lents Park today, scramble all officers to contain community outrage.
The cops are geared-up, heavy in numbers, and already have a taste for blood today.
DOJ takes formal action against Portland Police Bureau over egregious accountability and abuse of force violations.
The US Department of Justice has filed a formal letter with the PPB including outrageous detail about abuse of force, coverups of officer misconduct, and the police union (PPS) blatantly flouting accountability rules (among other unconstitutional behavior). The DOJ has been trying for months to get the city and police to work toward fixing these issues, but that request has been denied, forcing the DOJ’s hand in this latest action.
