Portland has been under protests and many of the articles written about what’s happening in Portland regularly reference police and federal police brutality in those protests. That is, law enforcement officers doing harm to the general public in those protests.
These laws probably spawn out of that. It’s dealing with the manifestations they’re seeing in the protests at that local level.
I don’t live in Portland and I don’t read the articles closely. This is an uneducated guess.
- tadfisher 6y agoI live here and would generally agree with your assessment. You bring up a good point about dealing with local issues. This movement is centered around a municipal budget concern, which is diverting funds from the police department to other forms of emergency response and community support programs. That our city is now the poster-child of the Trump campaign is telling.
