Portland City Councilor Eric Zimmerman lied on a right-wing podcast claiming that six councilors want to investigate Oregon companies who do business with Jewish companies. It’s crazy what conservatives are allowed to get away with in this town, making light of real issues like antisemitism.

It becomes a wedge without ever connecting with reality because it FEELS unfair to SOME people (many of whom have fully grown children) and we can't do anything good if some people feel sad about it. That's the life cycle of centrist pundit-dominated reactive policy. Its function is to waste time.

Press Release: Portland Must Be Better Than This. Chief Bob Day Must Resign

I'm not going to relitigate someone's history on social media. But statements describing socialists as fundamentally incompatible with a peaceful society and mocking them for watching VHSs are
difficult to dismiss as youthful indiscretion. They reflect an agenda.
What concerns me is that this cop
sits on
a unelected body that sets the Police Bureau's budget, shapes its policy, and votes on the tools and staffing our personnel rely on to do the jobs safely. That profound responsibility requires a baseline of good faith: that the council's work will be judged on its merits rather than beginning with the predetermined conclusion that law enforcement should be valorized d.
That is why I have a responsibility to say that | no longer have confidence that this cop evaluating the councilor

That PPA President Schmautz does not understand PPB officers' poor compliance with body worn camera policy, given his time in that position, is confounding but not surprising. (To use the same language he used.)

Our review found that the City complied with nearly every requirement in the portion of Paragraph 194 that is focused on the development of a BWC policy and the logistics of rolling out a BWC program to PPB.26 However, audits assessing adherence to the BWC policy that was ultimately implemented by PPB revealed numerous deviations that are
neither minor nor occasional.

The OIG BWC Audit results noted three primary findings:

1. PPB members delivered required BWC recording announcements when making initial contact with members of the public 26 percent of the time.

2. Supervisors completed required BWC video reviews of certain types of incidents, as further specified in policy, 30 percent of the time.

3. PPB members provided required verbal justifications for deactivating their BWCs 18 percent of the time.

26 The one deviation that we noted from this portion of Paragraph 194 was that implementation of the program was not complete by the deadline set in the paragraph. We found such a deviation unsurprising, given the many foreseeable and unforeseeable challenges of completing a project as complex as this one, and we maintain our belief that it amounts to only a minor deviation from this aspect of the requirements in Paragraph 194, with no systemic impact.

27 PPB reports it was unclear whether members delivered the BWC notification to the public in 10 percent of cases, and that they failed to do so at the beginning of the interaction, as required, in 64 percent of cases. Additionally, among that latter group (of 64 percent) of cases, members delivered the required notification at a later point during the interaction 6.9 percent of the time.

Page number 55 is at the bottom right.

This might be shocking to some, but the police calling for the removal of an elected council member for criticizing them is not how democracy works. The police who live in the city have a chance to vote, just like everyone else. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Let me provide some much-needed context for the series of tweets from 2020 recently published by the Oregonian. This week, I'm being judged for messages I posted for a public audience during Black Lives Matter, the largest mass protest movement in U.S. history.

When I wrote those things on social media, I was outraged like so many Portlanders by the constant stream of anti-Black violence being perpetrated by police departments across the country and the Portland Police Bureau. I was mourning the senseless murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Freddie Grey and countless others at the hands of police. I was part of a community that's been troubled by the Portland Police Bureau's response to our movement. During that period, police officers gassed the entire city and documented more than 6,000 uses of force against protesters, the wall of moms, faith leaders, and Portlanders of all stripes, so much so that the courts had to step in.

The critics want to label my tweets from 2020 as "violence" when we've witnessed actual hundreds of incidents of physical violence resulting in bodily injuries to Portlanders. The movement for Black Lives was not and is not about hatred. It is about a basic respect for human dignity, and a revulsion at the violence and callousness we have all witnessed too many times to count.

So, Chief Bob Day is right, I do have an agenda: protect and expand Portland Street Response, defend the budget against cuts to the non-armed first responders, protect the Office for Community Police Accountability, and push for transparency and accountability. Thousands of Portlanders have been demanding police accountability for decades.

I was elected to scrutinize systems of power, represent the diverse needs of Portlanders, and the ballot initiative for police oversight that more than 80% of Portland voters passed November 2020. I'm concerned that Chief Day seems to expect me and other elected officials to have sterile or supportive views of …
