Portland has always been a beacon of free speech. We are proud of that history.
But in the last couple of years, some have increasingly used their opportunity to exercise their 1st amendment rights, as an opportunity to incite violence.
Over the weekend some chose to engage in violence in Portland, which is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
We stand against all forms of violence - regardless of someone’s political leanings.
Portland police officers have the unenviable task of keeping the peace. It’s a difficult job and hard decisions are made in real-time.
While we continue to learn more about what transpired over the weekend, we will keep you informed.
We will do everything we can to make sure that those who have committed violence are held accountable.
