Thousands of protesters alternately booed and interrogated Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler after hundreds of mothers dubbed 'the Wall of Moms' led a march against police brutality.
over the objection of Wheeler and other local officials.
Contractors on Wednesday surrounded the building with a tall metal-and-concrete fence, and prosecutors warned that anyone who breached it would be arrested. In court files, federal officials say protesters had inflicted more than $50,000 in damage to federal buildings in Portland, including tearing down security cameras and shattering glass doors.
The mayor appeared to be attempting to walk a fine line of blasting the federal government while addressing a crowd that only days earlier, before federal officials swept into the city, had been organizing in opposition against his office. As mayor, Wheeler helps set the city's budget priorities. As police commissioner, he helps sets law-enforcement priorities.
Wheeler's attempts to answer her questions were repeatedly drowned out by the angry crowd, which booed and jeered as he tried to explain a lengthy process for making reforms. He later acknowledged that he's a"white, privileged male."After standing before the jeering crowd, Wheeler huddled with Black activists who demanded he move more quickly to reform the police department.
Officials say 42 people have been arrested by federal agents in the past few days, several of them over accusations that they managed to pry open the front doors of the courthouse and scuffle with officers inside. Kitty-corner from the courthouse, city park rangers Wednesday removed the metal benches from Chapman Square, a small park where many protesters had been resting and regrouping during overnight clashes. But there was no evidence the city was planning to evict the protest encampment from Lownsdale Square, directly across Southwest 3rd Avenue from the courthouse.
