A vote to end police cooperation with federal agencies
Wednesday night's discussion followed a unanimous Portland City Council vote to end cooperation between the Portland Police Bureau and federal agencies charged with protecting federal properties on Wednesday, Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said in a statement.
"Today, I introduced two resolutions -- one to cease all cooperation between the Portland Police Bureau and the federal occupiers, and one affirming the rights of members of the press and legal observers covering the protests against police brutality." the statement read.
"I am pleased to share that both of those resolutions were adopted unanimously by City Council."
Eudaly said the resolution could serve as both an example for other cities and a "national call to action."
"I stand in solidarity with protesters defending Black lives, demanding racial justice, and the transformation of our justice system, but whether you agree with the protesters or not, if you believe in the Constitution of the United States, you must oppose the actions of this President and the violent suppression of individuals exercising their constitutional rights," Eudaly said."
