This week, a federal judge sanctioned the Portland Police Bureau and ordered the agency to retrain officers on their use of crowd control devices. This came a day after Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler held a press conference condemning protesters who took to the streets again last weekend. Wheeler is also pushing his fellow city council members to fund gun violence prevention efforts, including the PPB’s new Enhanced Community Safety Team. Wheeler, who is also the city’s police commissioner, joins us to talk about all of this and more.
