Government ofﬁ cials have increasingly used forced resignations in set- tlements to discourage their employees from suing state agencies, Creighton said. “My experience with the state of Oregon is that they do not take kindly to people who assert their rights even if they are correct in doing so,” she said. Shelby said he was not permitted to discuss speciﬁ cs of Johnson’s case. However, generally, state negotiators “consider how any settle- ment will impact the state in the future — both in terms of individuals ﬁ ling claims against us, and our ability to negotiate them.” By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau Revelations of Oregon Department of Justice agents monitoring social media activity by the agency’s head civil rights attorney Erious Johnson Jr. for using a Black Lives Matter hashtag gar- nered international headlines in late 2015.

Two of the three white co-workers accused of pro- ﬁ ling him still work at the justice department. A third left the agency voluntarily to take another job. Johnson ﬁ led a federal lawsuit against the Depart- ment of Justice last year for violation of his civil rights. State ofﬁ cials agreed earlier this month to pay Johnson $205,000 to settle the case OBITUARIES Submitted P hoto Erious Johnson Jr. was wrongly profiled by his co-workers at the Oregon Department of Justice, but he is the only employee to lose his job in the wake of the scandal. Johnson re- signed his post as part of a settlement of his federal lawsuit against the state. on the condition that he leave the d epartment . He resigned the position effective Friday and is prohibited from work- ing for the state for at least ﬁ ve years. “I just think it’s per se retaliation,” said Beth Creighton, a civil rights law- yer who represented John- son. “First, the state vio- lates his rights, and then they require him to con- sent to continuing to violate his rights, i.e., that he won’t Carol Marie Olson, 74, of Astoria, died Sept.
