The city of Portland, Oregon, has reached a $250,000 settlement to a federal lawsuit over its police bureau’s use of tear gas and other crowd control devices during the racial justice protests that rocked its streets in 2020, court documents show.

U.S. District Judge Marco A. Hernandez will enforce the 14-month injunction. Hernandez had previously found the city in contempt for violating a court order he issued in June 2020 that prohibited police from using pepper spray and less-lethal launchers against people engaged in passive resistance.

Clown world.

Pathetic. And they weren’t “protestors”. They were left wing agitators/rioters trying to destroy the city, caused millions in damage.

Portland is paying cold hard cash to the people that destroyed the city. Perfect.🤌

God bless the USA
