Black Lives Matter Protesters Interrupt Ceremony Honoring Portland Police Chief – WABI

From WMTW:

How come you are silent?

It was supposed to be a moment of honor for Portland Police Chief Michael Sauschuck given on behalf of the city council and sponsored by Mayor Ethan Strimling for his service.

But during the mayors proclamation directly behind the chief stood members of the black lives movement with their hands raised over their heads.

Speaking out against the chief.

The mayor calling a recess.

City Councilor Jill Duson offering to talk to the protestors.

Well talk when

Saying this to the chief while leaving.

And good job murderer.

Continuing their protests on the steps of city hall as Chief Sauschuck left the building

Just a few hours earlier city councilors praising the chief standing in solidarity with him regarding a body camera pilot program for his department.

We have example after example of Police Chief Mike Sauschuck being an exemplary leader and police chief and really standing up for the community.

And a day after he addresses public concerns following the deadly force used by an officer against 22-year-old Chance Baker over the weekend.

Im troubled a great deal by anyone that would demean the actions of these Portland Police Officers and make it some kind of issue around body cameras which i do not believe is the case here in any way.
