"But Mayor Keith Wilson and the city’s deputy administrator Tracy Warren declined to sustain the allegations, refusing to hold the high-ranking leaders responsible for inappropriate use of force or the failure to complete force reviews as required." Time for a new Mayor Portland
James Croxton@jwcroxton.bsky.social · 3d agoGood job straightening out PPB, Mayor Wilson! 🫠 "The Independent Police Review recommended holding former Police Chief Chuck Lovell and former Assistant Chief Jami Resch responsible for failing to ensure supervisors reviewed officers’ use of force reports as required by bureau policy."
UPDATE: I have continued to receive emails from Vulnerbach and the article has been updated to include the two lengthy ones in their entirety. ⤵️
James Croxton@jwcroxton.bsky.social · 2mo agoNEW from DSM: Two days ago, a well-known glass artist who recently vanished from the scene harassed a Neighbor Feeding Neighbors breakfast serving at Washington-Jefferson Park for 9+ hours while sharpening an axe. The police were called and they arrested a houseless woman. Read about it ⤵️

As suspected, the company used to erect the fence around the Old Federal Building in #EugeneOR was the same used in #PortlandOR during 2020-2021. From today's article by KLCC regarding the cost of the fence: $269,225
James Croxton@jwcroxton.bsky.social · 4mo agoNew from DSM: The planned fence to be erected in front of the Old Federal Building in #EugeneOR is due to appear soon. In the meantime, we've written a short history of fences in response to protests within the state. Read it below ⤵️

NEW from DSM: Today, the FBI released three Wanted posters for individuals who attended the Jan. 30 protest at the Old Federal Building. In doing so, the government's sequence of events has changed and now ommits any mention of an alleged "breach" of the building. Read more ⤵️
FBI Releases Wanted Posters, Now Omits Allegation of ‘Breach’ During Jan. 30 Protest at Old Federal Building

As less-lethal usage ramps up, I feel it's necessary to make the distinction between green smoke-emitting HC gas (which can be lethal) and more commonly used "Pocket Tactical Green Smoke." A brief thread with a link to Dr. Juniper Simonis' slideshow on HC from Jan. 2021 ⤵️
James Croxton@jwcroxton.bsky.social · 7mo agoImportant to note that HC use is, for the most part, rare. We've only seen confirmed use (i.e., we viewed the canisters with our own eyes) in Portland a limited number of times. It is more common to see Defense Technology "Pocket Tactical Green Smoke" used alongside a separate irritant.
"As a free press remains under attack at the federal level, Ryan's comments are a stark warning that efforts to chill a free press are a threat to democracy anywhere."

NEW from me & LCRW: I tried contacting Netflix no less than seven times regarding a PNW livestreamer's use of its name, logo, and theme music for Proud Boys propaganda. Netflix never responded. Other orgs and experts I talked to ignored me or wouldn't touch the subject. Read about it ⤵️
OPINION—A LIVESTREAMER USED NETFLIX’S LOGO FOR PROUD BOYS PROPAGANDA. NETFLIX... | Left Coast Right Watch
A Proud Boys propagandist made a sizzle reel for the hate group with Netflix’s logo. Netflix—and nobody else apparently—want to talk about it.

One of the many right-wing streamers that has been shooting propaganda at #PortlandOR ICE is now openly using Netflix's logo and "baddum" introduction in her social media clips. Seems bad for @netflix.com, no?

After lots of well-guided speculation, we now have proof that far-right propagandists in Portland have been directly coordinating—through at least text message—with ICE agents. In this case, Chelly got permission from a "Travis D." inside to stand on a half-wall off limits to protesters.

It is egregious that a screening of ANIMAL HOUSE (1978) isn't one of the events celebrating the University of Oregon's Erb Memorial Union's 75th anniversary. The Daily Emerald couldn't even mention that the comedy film's famous "food fight" scene took place in "the fishbowl" of the EMU 😭

4/4 Then, on Aug. 23, 2024, PPB's photos began to trickle out via an unsurprising source: a thread by Andy Ngo on Twitter. He posted over a dozen individuals' photos until Oct. 3. The thread remained unupdated until Sept. 21 of this year, when he added one more individual's photos.
3/4 Many of us knew that the broken windows were the perfect excuse for PPB to kettle and do some MASSIVE information gathering—and they did just that. Nobody *really* knew where the photos were going other than some database PPB likely had/has on activists.
2/4 I watched as countless protesters and members of the press were photographed and let out one by one. Duct tape with their full legal name and birth date was slapped across each person's chest. The "crime" for which over 100 people, including the press, were detained? A few broken windows.
1/4 March 12, 2021 I, too, was kettled and detained during this protest, but was let out with my credentials, and I went to cover protests that formed outside the perimeter. Several others stayed in and documented from inside.
1/2 Last week, the #EugeneOR City Council unanimously voted to turn off the city's Flock cameras temporarily while they research. Then, EPD Chief Skinner announced the arrest of seven people in relation to burglaries targeting the Asian community, citing Flock as key in their investigation.
