In Portland, Oregon, protesters have been calling for justice and accountability over the deaths of countless Black lives at the hands of police. Protests have ranged from peaceful marches to violent demonstrations that devolve into arson and vandalism.
Last week, the state's US Attorney called for an investigation into why some protesters were being taken by federal agents without badges and put into unmarked vehicles.Over the weekend, protesters pulled down barricades, moved them into streets, and attempted to light a building on fire. Sunday's demonstrations ended with protesters being dispersed with gas by federal law enforcement, the Portland Police said in a tweet.
Sachs, whose family has been in the area since the 1940's, founded the No Hate Zone, -- an organization which is focused on ending hate and racism through education, engagement and advocacy. While he said that right now Portland is known as a"hotbed for violence," it is also"a city of opportunity."" a city of love. A city of growth. A city that cares about its police.
