LAW ENFORCEMENT PLAN WHICH IS
OUR NEW STRATEGY TO END THE
NIGHTLY VIOLENCE IN PROTEST
OUR LINDSAY NAD RICH IS
DIGGING DEEPER, SHE SPOKE ONE
ON ONE WITH THE GOVERNOR ABOUT
THAT PLAN THIS AFTERNOON WHAT
DID SHE HAVE TO SAY LINDSAY.
WELL THE GOVERNOR'S PLAN
WAS RELEASED JUST ONE DAY
AFTER THAT DEADLY SHOOTING BUT
SHE TOLD ME THAT WASN'T THE
REASON IT WAS PUT OUT NOW SHE
TELL ME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT
THIS PLAN HAVE BEEN WERE
HAPPENING LAST WEEK.
MYLAN'S OFFERS NOTHING
ANSWERS NOT THINK SAUCE NOT
THINK IT MUST AND. GOVERNOR
KATE BROWN'S PLAN THAT HOPES
TO END THAT VIOLENCE INVOLVES
ALL LEVELS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.
INCLUDING THE FBI AND
OREGON STATE POLICE PORTLAND
POLICE RESOURCES HAVE BEEN
STRETCHED THIN SO HER PLAN
ALSO ASKED FOR THE CLACKAMAS
AND WASHINGTON COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS IN
QUESTION POLICE TO PROVIDE
PERSONNEL AND RESOURCES TO
HELP ALL 3 AGENCIES TOLD ME
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS
LOOKS LIKE JUST YET. IT DIDN'T
KNOW ABOUT THIS REQUEST UNTIL
THE PLAN WAS RELEASED WE
TALKING WITH THE SHERIFF'S
OFFICE OF WASHINGTON AND
CLACKAMAS COUNTY IN THE CITY
OF GRESHAM.
THIS IS NO THEM THE MUTUAL
AID AGREEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
HAPPENING IN THIS REGION FOR
YEARS THE PLAN ALSO SAYS THE
MULTNOMAH COUNTY DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WILL
PROSECUTE CRIMINAL OFFENSES,
INCLUDING ARSON AND PHYSICAL
VIOLENCE THAT'S NOT NEW THOUGH
THE DA'S OFFICE SAID THIS PLAN
DOESN'T CHANGE THE PROTEST
POLCIE THEY IMPLEMENTED ON
AUGUST 11TH OREGON STATE
POLICE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO
HELP AND THE MULTNOMAH COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE WILL HOLD
ANYONE PUT FOR VIOLENT
BEHAVIOR AND MAKE SURE THERE'S
ENOUGH SPACE IN THE JAIL. I
THINK THE GOAL HERE IS TO KEEP
THE COMMUNITY SAFE AND TO
ENSURE THAT PROTEST CAN
CONTINUE PEACEFULLY AND WE'RE
GOING TO GIVE IT A IT DOESN'T
WORK. WE'LL TRY SOMETHING ELSE
BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT IN THIS TIME THAT WE
TRY SOMETHING OREGON STATE
POLICE WILL SUPPLY MORE THAN 2
DOZEN BODY CAMERAS. I ASKED
PPB IF YOU PLAN TO USE BODY
CAMERAS AND WAS TOLD THEY'RE
STILL WORKING OUT THE DETAILS.
FINALLY GOVERNOR BROWN PLANS
TO HOLD A COMMUNITY FORUM WITH
FAIR WHEELER BLACK PROTEST
ORGANIZERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY
LEADERS TALK ABOUT RACIAL
JUSTICE AND POLICE REFORM I AM
WILLING TO BRING PEOPLE
TOGETHER TO HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION I THINK IT'S A
REALLY IMPORTANT CONVERSATION
TO HAVE. WELL THERE'S NO DATE
SET YET FOR THAT FORUM AND
LATE THIS AFTERNOON CLACKAMAS
COUNTY SHERIFF ROBERT ROBERTS
SAID HE WILL NOT BE SENDING
HIS STAFF INTO PORTLAND, BUT
SAID THEY WILL ASSIST OREGON
STATE POLICE AS NEEDED WHEN
RESOURCES ARE TIED UP IN
PORTLAND HELPING IN A
STATEMENT, HE SAID INCREASING
LAW ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES IN
PORTLAND WILL NOT SOLVE THE
NIGHTLY VIOLENCE AND NOW
MURDER THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE
CORTLAND SAFE AGAIN IS TO
SUPPORT A POLICY THAT HOLD
OFFENDERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
THEIR DESTRUCTION AND
VIOLENCE, I'M ALSO HEARING
FROM OR LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES ALL HAVE THEIR
STATEMENTS COMING UP.
