"An East Portland resident says he was ambushed by men in tactical gear who drew guns on him and tried to pry him from his vehicle. Home surveillance footage shows three men in plain clothes emerge from an unmarked SUV, then immediately indicate they mistook the man in the vehicle for someone else. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to questions asking whether the men in the footage were sworn agents or impersonators."
"If you read Good Morning, News earlier this week, you know that a bunch of racist texts a local developer and some of his conservative activist friends sent in a group chat caused a bit of a stir during the election for a new council president. And you also know that one councilor, Dan Ryan, was publicly very upset about... oh, wait... the reporter? Not the texts, just the reporter?"
An East Portland resident reported being ambushed by men in tactical gear who drew guns and attempted to pull him from his vehicle. Home surveillance footage shows three men in plain clothes emerging from an unmarked SUV and immediately indicating they had mistaken the man for someone else. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to inquiries about whether the men were sworn agents or impersonators. The incident occurred as the city considered a bill to ban law enforcement officers from wearing masks. Separately, racist texts among a local developer and associates disrupted a City Council leadership election and prompted a public apology from Councilor Dan Ryan.
