1 Killed, 5 Wounded During Portland Protest of Police Violence
20th February 2022
At least one person was killed and another five were wounded in a shooting during a protest in Portland over police violence. According to preliminary reports from the scene, the shooting took place Saturday night at Normandale Park in the Oregonian city following a “confrontation” between a protester and a nearby homeowner, both of whom were reportedly armed.
Oddly enough, the police apparently didn’t shoot anybody.
The number of homicides in Portland last year surpassed the number in more populous cities such as San Francisco and Boston, and was more than double the number of slayings in nearby Seattle, which has a population of nearly 200K more people.
Doesn’t sound to me as if ‘police violence’ is the problem.
