    As a former chairperson of the NLG's Anti-Racism Committee, past President of the NLG-NYC Chapter, and past member of the NEC, I am writing in favor of the Resolution Supporting the Abolition of Policing. In 2015, the NLG adopted a resolution declaring itself to be an organization committed to the abolition of jails, prisons, and all forms of detention. The Resolution Supporting the Abolition of Policing further deepens the Guild's commitment to tear down the apparatus of oppression and state violence that is the backbone of policing in the United States. Since the fall of 2017, I have lived in Portland, Oregon, where the reality of the limits and counterproductivity of "reformist reforms" of the Portland Police Bureau ("PPB") has become more and more exposed with every night of violent suppression of Black Lives Matter demonstrators. An overwhelming white police force (that includes officers with ties to fascist and white supremacist organizations) has engaged in over 125 nights of unrestrained brutality against protestors, medics, journalists, and Legal Observers. The same police officers do all that they can to protect Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer supporters who waive guns at and physically attack anti-fascist counter-demonstrators. Our Mayor refused for months to ban the PPB's use of CS tear gas, which the police have used indiscriminately and which has saturated neighborhoods in gas. State legislation was passed restricting the use of tear gas to situations when police had officially declared a "riot" - unsurprisingly, the PPB has found almost any excuse to declare the existence of a riot and to gas demonstrators since the law went into effect.

  • Black and Blue: Police-Community Relations in Portland's Albina
    LEANNE C. SERBULO & KAREN J. GIBSON Black and Blue Police-Community Relations in Portland’s Albina District, 1964–1985 It appears that there is sufficient evidence to believe that the Portland Police Department indulges in stop and frisk practices in Albina. They seem to feel that they have the right to stop and frisk someone because his skin is black and he is in the black part of town. — Attorney commenting in City Club of Portland’s Report on Law Enforcement, 1981 DURING THE 1960s, institutionalized discrimination, unemployment, and police brutality fueled inter-racial tensions in cities across America, including Portland, Oregon. Riots became more frequent, often resulting in death and destruction. Pres. Lyndon Johnson’s National Advisory Com- mission on Civil Disorders issued in early 198 what became known as the “Kerner Report,” which declared that the nation was “moving toward two societies, one black, one white — separate and unequal.”2 Later that year, the City Club of Portland published a document titled Report on Problems of Racial Justice in Portland, its own version of the national study. The report documented evidence of racial discrimination in numerous institutions, including the police bureau. The section “Police Policies, Attitudes, and Practices” began with the following statement: The Mayor and the Chief of Police have indicated that in their opinions the Kerner Report is not applicable to Portland. Satisfactory police-citizen relations are not likely to be achieved as a reality in Portland in the absence of a fundamental change in the philosophy of the officials who formulate policy for the police bureau.

  • G20 Leaders: Are You Ready to Save Our Planet?
    G20 Leaders: Are you ready to save our planet? As mayors of many of the world’s great cities, and on behalf of the hundreds of millions of citizens that we represent, we urge you -- G20 Heads of State -- to deliver on your commitments to tackle climate change, one of the world’s most pressing issues. Given the US intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, the resolve of the other 19 leaders at the upcoming G20 Summit to safeguard the future of our planet is more important than ever. Local leaders around the world stand together with you, redoubling our commitment to bold action on climate change, working with business leaders and citizens worldwide. We are inspired by the courage of more than 300 Climate Mayors from cities across the United States who have committed in the past weeks to adopt, honor and uphold the Paris Agreement. Hundreds of US cities, universities, and businesses have declared “We Are Still In” and committed to pursue ambitious climate goals, and to ensure that the US remains a global leader in reducing emissions. This group is now working on the creation of “America’s pledge”, an unprecedented effort to aggregate carbon reductions by cities, regions and businesses to ensure that the US achieves its Paris Agreement pledge. To deliver on the goals of the Paris Agreement requires unprecedented action: urgent reforms are needed in energy, transport, food and waste – driving investment in low carbon economies that will create jobs and improve public health. Research by C40 Cities demonstrates that major progress towards these goals needs to be underway by 2020, by which time global emissions need to have peaked.

  • Portland Police Bureau PPB CASE
    Portland Police Bureau PPB CASE 11-40358 Portland Police Bureau 1111 SW 2nd Ave. Portland OR 97204 Case Overview PPB Case #11-40358 On Thursday May 17, 2011, at 4:59 p.m., officers responded to a residence in the 1900 block of Southeast 134th Drive to conduct a welfare check of a 69-year-old woman. This call was in response to Multnomah County Adult Protective Services (APS) receiving a call from the woman’s doctor who told APS that the woman called asking what to do after her son hit her in the head. APS told officers that the son has a history of assaulting his mother. Officers arrived at the residence and talked to the victim, who had blood on her head, neck and shirt. She told officers that her 42-year-old son hit her in the head, put a knife to her throat and threw her down onto the ground. The victim told officers that her son told her, “I can kill you now,” as he held a knife to her throat. Officers learned that the suspect was not at the residence any longer but later in the evening, at 10:43 p.m., they received information that the suspect returned to the residence and that the victim was on her way home from the hospital. Officers learned from the victim that the suspect was in his bedroom and he kept a sword in his bedroom. Officers opened the door to the house with the victim’s consent and called several times for the suspect to come outside.

Universities - including OHSU and PSU - have previously had little involvement in addressing gun violence as preventable public health concerns ever since Congress restricted gun violence prevention funding more than 21 years ago. Yet, our universities also recognize the need to address the impact of conditions like gun violence on the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve in Oregon and elsewhere. Based on contemporary use of the term “gun violence,” the Advisory Committee operationalized the topic broadly as any incidents of shootings – intentional

These forces are conducting crowd control on city streets and detaining individuals. Their threats and actions have as escalated events, and increased the risk of violence against both civilians and local law enforcement officers. These actions also jeopardize the many important ways federal and local law enforcement must work together to protect our cities and country. We urge you to immediately investigate the President and his administration’s actions. The unilateral deployment of these forces into American cities is unprecedented and violates fundamental constitutional protections and tenets of federalism. As you are well aware, President Trump threatened to deploy federal forces in Seattle to “clear out” a protest area and in Chicago to “clean up” the city. Seattle and Chicago authorities objected and threatened legal action to stop such actions. In Washington, DC outside Lafayette Park, extreme action was taken by federal law enforcement against protesters without the Mayor of DC’s approval. Now the administration has deployed federal forces to Portland despite the objections of local and state officials.

  • The Oregonian Portland Police Chief Says
    The Oregonian Portland Police Chief Says Federal Cops Were Told They'd Get Help at ICE Protest If They Were in Danger By Everton Bailey August 1, 2018 Portland Police Chief Danielle Outlaw announced Wednesday that the bureau told the Federal Protective Service it would respond to their officers' emergency calls if their safety was at risk during a 38-day-long protest outside Portland's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Building. The statement comes two days after the union representing ICE employees sent a letter to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler claiming he banned local police from responding to 911 calls from federal officers during the Occupy ICE demonstrations. The union said it left employees vulnerable to threats of violence and harassment. In a response Tuesday, Wheeler said he ordered no such policy. Outlaw said police officers responded to 41 calls for service during the encampment at the ICE building in Southwest Portland, which began June 17 and ended July 25. Portland police made no arrests, and there were no significant injuries to anyone around the camp, she said. The demonstration was to protest the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. The encampment caused the ICE building to be closed for eight days because of security concerns.

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED Ms. Hannah Ahern, Plaintiff, initiates this suit because Defendants unlawfully detained her at a counter-demonstration against white supremacist groups that were using the City of Portland as a staging ground for recruitment and later attacks on other cities. Detective Erik Kammerer, Defendant, fabricated evidence to effectuate an arrest of Ms. Ahern after she spat in the general direction of an approaching van of riot police. Video evidence shows that Defendant Kammerer knew that he did not have probable cause; he merely wanted to punish Ms. Ahern for showing contempt for the riot police.

  • Constructing a Security Threat?
    Constructing a Security Threat? Identifying Securitization in US State Level Politics Framing of the BLM Protests Rebecka Bjuremalm Supervisor: Josefina Erikson Bachelor Thesis, Political Science Department of Government Uppsala University, Spring 2021 Word count: 11,723 Page count: 43 Abstract This thesis investigates US state level politics framing of the BLM protests during 2020, by inductively identifying frames and then proceeding to study if and on what grounds securitization occurs in these. Press statements, interviews and documents from eight Mayors and Governors in six of the states where the protests have been the most prominent are analyzed. From this material, four frames have been identified: the alienated outsider frame, the constructive rage frame, the limited guardian frame, and the desecuritizing frame. Recent developments in securitization theory investigate human life and dignity as a reference object, making a case for integrating humanitarianism in terms of grounds for justifying extraordinary measures. Three grounds for securitization are investigated empirically in the identified frames: state, social and humanitarian security. The study concludes that whilst both state security and to a lesser degree humanitarian security are detected in the identified frames, societal security seems to be the most prominent. This suggests that large-scale identities are the most common reference objects in the treated context. Further research is encouraged, especially in terms of distinguishing potential frame alignment processes by looking at a greater number of states over a longer period of time. Key words: securitization, Copenhagen School, framing analysis, protest movements, Black Lives Matter, securitized citizens, contentious politics 2 List of Abbreviations BLM: Black Lives Matter ACLED: The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project PACT: Protecting American Communities Task Force DHS: Department of Homeland Security B.I.E.: Black Identity Extremists IACHR: Inter-American Commission on Human Rights 3 Table of Contents 1.
