THE CITY COUNCIL, WE'LL LET
YOU KNOW IF AND WHEN WE HEAR
BACK AND GOVERNOR BROWN NOW
SHEDDING LIGHT ON HER NEW
STRATEGY TO END THE NIGHTLY
VIOLENCE AT THE PORTLAND
PROTEST. IT'S CALLED THE
UNIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT PLAN.
OR LINDSAY NAD RATES TALKED
WITH THE GOVERNOR ONE ON ONE
ABOUT THAT PLAN THIS
AFTERNOON, WHAT YOU HAVE TO
SAY LINDSAY.
WELL THIS PLAN WAS RELEASED
JUST A DAY AFTER THE DEADLY
SHOOTING THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE
GOAL IS TO PROTECT FREE SPEECH
AND END THE NIGHTLY VIOLENCE
WE'VE BEEN SEEING IN DOWNTOWN
THE PLAN INVOLVES ALL LEVELS
OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TO HELP
PORTLAND POLICE BECAUSE
RESOURCES HAVE BEEN STRETCHED
THIN FIRST 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. IT DOESN'T
CHANGE THE PROTEST POLICY THEY
IMPLEMENTED ON AUGUST 11TH.
THE PLAN ALSO SAYS OREGON
STATE POLICE WILL CONTINUE TO
HELP AND THE MULTNOMAH COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE WILL HOLD
ANYONE BUT FOR VIOLENT
BEHAVIOR AND MAKE SURE THERE'S
ENOUGH SPACE IN THE JAIL. WHAT
IS NEWS. HOW IS THAT THE
GOVERNOR IS ASKING THE
CLACKAMAS AND WASHINGTON
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND
RUSSIAN POLICE TO PROVIDE
PERSONNEL AND RESOURCES TO
HELP PORTLAND POLICE ALL 3
AGENCIES TOLD ME THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE YET
IT DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS
REQUEST UNTIL THE PLAN WAS
RELEASED.
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.
THE PLAN ALSO SAYS LOCAL
FBI AND THE U.S. ATTORNEYS
WILL ALSO HELP INVESTIGATE
PROTEST-RELATED CRIMES AND
OREGON STATE POLICE WILL
SUPPLY MORE THAN 2 DOZEN PARTY
CAMERAS TO PORTLAND POLICE I
ASKED IF THEY PLAN TO USE
THOSE BODY CAMERAS AND AGAIN
WAS TOLD THEY'RE WORKING OUT
THE DETAILS. FINALLY GOVERNOR
BROWN PLANS TO HOLD A
COMMUNITY FORM WITH MAYOR
WHEELER BLOCK PROTEST,
ORGANIZERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY
LEADERS TO TALK ABOUT RACIAL
JUSTICE AND POLICE REFORM
WELL, SOME OF CRITICIZING
GOVERNOR FOR NOT RELEASING A
PLAN LIKE THIS SOONER I ASKED
HER IF IT WAS RELEASED BECAUSE
OF THE DEADLY SHOOTING. I'LL
HAVE HER ANSWER COMING UP AT 5
