Officer On Leave For Using Force Against Teen

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Portland police officer who was involved in the death of a mentally ill man was put on administrative leave following an investigation into the use of force against a 12-year-old girl last weekend, the police chief said Thursday.
A Portland police officer involved in the death of James Chasse while he was in police custody has been suspended by police Chief Rosie Sizer, according to a source close to the case.



kPTV is reporting that commissioner Dan Saltzman was the person who requested the suspension

The officer's name is Christopher Humphreys. This guy has proved himself to be a brute and needs to be removed from the force.

This is confusing: The police statement says that officers Humphreys and Aaron Dauchy were riding on the train when Dauchy noticed the 12 year old who allegedly had been barred from Max. However, the video shows both officers walking up to the train at a stop. There are no cops getting off this train. One enters and walks out. A short time later, the girl (in white blouse) walks out. Within seconds, 3 pigs are kicking the shit out of her. She CLEARLY shows no resistance. Instead it looks like one of the officers immediately grabs her by the hair and takes her down. It looks like they easily could have killed her. 100 Little Mark Krugers. Fucking Nazis.

Mother fucking pigs. Sargent Scott Westerman of the Police Union says to watch the video to conclude: "This action was appropriate," he said. "It was just. It was warranted."

He is out of his fucking mind. In addition to being a piece of shit.

Second video on page is the better one.
