Policeman Gives
Limited Testimony
L ean
G round B e e f
Before Auditing
Panel
by Jerry Garner
Last Thursday, three Portland
policemen were scheduled to testify
tiefore the Police Internal Investiga
lions Auditing Committee IPIIAC)
concerning a police misconduct
charge brought tiefore the Commit
tee by a Black man However, only
one policeman testified briefly
Although a Multnomah County
district |udge had ruled that the
Auditing Committee has the power
to mako (Xilico officers testify before
it. the actions by the policemen
shows that the Portland Police
Association is still trying to circum
vent the Committee's authority
When members of the Committee
asked one of the policemen involved
in the case specific questions regar
ding the incident, the policeman re
peatodly claimed faulty memory or
told the Committee that the ques
tions were outside their jurisdiction
After this went on for several
minutes, Committee members and
the policeman s attorney agreed to
cease questioning until each officer
reviewed the taped interview they
made with the Bureau's internal
investigation regarding the incident
The case was brought tiefore the
Audit Committee back in 1984 by
Barry J. Franklin. Franklin alleges
that in March 1984. two Portland
policemen on horses stopped him in
the downtown area without justifi
cation and proceeded to physically
abuse him with their horses He said
the officers pinned him against the
wall with the horses, grabbed him,
shouted racist epithets and obseni
ties Franklin said the officers then
told him that he had ton minutes to
get out of downtown He said then
the officers chased him on their
horses, and that he was forced to
run into the Meier and Frank store
Franklin later filed a complaint
against the officers with the Bu
reau’s Internal Investigation D ivi
sion
The Bureau ruled that there
was insufficient evidence to sub
stantiate his allegations He accu
sed the Bureau of not investigating
his complaint in an adequate man
ner to reach for the truth, and that
there was selective questioning on
the part of the investigator.
Franklin stated that although he
was frustrated with the fact that his
case hasn't been resolved after al
most three years, he is determined
to press on until he finds out why he
was attacked by the officers
He
praised the Audit Committee for at
tempting to find out the truth.
"They are trying as hard as they can
to seek the truth and get these offi
cers to testify This is a new situa
tion for them I subpoenaing the offi
cers |."
