Black people in Portland struggle to be heard amid protests. “We all want the same thing. But so often we get drowned out,' says one Black business owner.
“These are the moms who actually want to ... make our reparations happen. Make this revolution happen,” she said.
The Portland Police Bureau, with its newly appointed Black police chief, is for many Black residents just as polarizing as the protests. In June, the City Council cut nearly $16 million from the Police Bureau budget. The cuts shuttered programs like the gun violence reduction unit, a youth services program and ended the presence of school resource officers in three school districts.
“You took away the expertise that was there, the relationships that were there,” Dixon said. “That connectivity is important, historical context is important. When you disbanded it, did you rebuild? ... This is the carnage that is left in the community.”
