An independent photographer who said she was assaulted by Portland police during protests last summer received a $50,000 settlement, which her lawyers say is the largest to stem from the city’s recent racial justice protests.
Now Teri Jacobs is calling on Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler to denounce the police force and their actions toward press and protesters.
A spokesperson for Wheeler’s office said they had not previously been aware of the letter.
“Police are consistently assaulting and hurting humans, and that doesn’t seem to bother the mayor,” Jacobs told the newspaper. “It seems like property is the only thing he’s concerned about.”
The Oregon Justice Resource Center, which represented Jacobs, said she was photographing an Aug. 18 protest with a visible press pass when police ordered people to disperse.
The Oregon Justice Resource Center said Jacobs was trying to leave when a police officer ran after Jacobs, hit her on the back of her head, neck and back with a stick, then knocked her down and hit her in the face.
