FTP [Film The Police] Portland is made up of citizens concerned about police accountability. For over a year, this small group has been videotaping and documenting the police while out in public. FTP then uses social media platforms to share their footage and analysis. According to their Facebook page their goal is to "use alternative media to interface with [the] Portland Police Bureau in a positive professional manner [and] inspire other activists to interact in a similar fashion with the ones charged with the hard work of protecting their communities!" Despite their concerns about misconduct, FTP Portland says they are willing to build a working relationship with the Portland Police. Another group, Oregon Copblock, is centered in Clackamas County. In March, they obtained footage of a traffic stop by Clackamas County Deputy Robert Nashif, who was posting on his Facebook page images of people he'd ticketed in order to mock them. The Sheriff said he didn't violate policy because at the time, they did not have one (KATU-TV, March 25). Portland Copwatch can't be in every neighborhood or show up at every inter-action between cops and the community. The more people watching the better.

Two More Portland Cops Arrested A 9 year old African American girl who had been fighting with a peer in April 2013 was cuffed and arrested days later by the PPB. Since no policy prohibits it, the officers received a "Service Improvement Opportunity." |
