Young rapper (turned activist?) Glenn Waco has been making waves since he started going hard with the #DONTSHOOTPDX block. Talking to him today, he noted that the city continues to turn a blind eye to police abuses at home because of a lack of “documented complaints”, especially from those in the minority community.
I am personally still waiting for my call from the Independent Police Review guy, Constantine. Not holding my breath though.
For folks looking to get involved, there is a rather major action on Wednesday at The Portland Building. The goal is to share examples of police misbehavior so that they can be documented and reviewed for direction in policy change. GET MORE INFO HERE.
