NORTHWEST East Oregonian Page 2A Tuesday, August 7, 2018 Portland police chief orders review of use of force at protest BRIEFLY ‘Homeward Bound’ covered bridge near Bend set for removal BEND (AP) — Now is the time to see the cov- ered bridge that appeared in the Walt Disney movie “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey.” The Bend Bulletin reports the Hixon Bridge across Tumalo Creek in Shevlin Park is scheduled to be removed next year after experts determined it had reached the end of its lifespan. Judy Prindel of the Covered Bridge Society of Oregon says the organization does not consider the Hixon Bridge an authentic covered bridge because it was originally built with trestles meant for an uncov- ered bridge and the covering was added afterward. The Walt Disney Co. came to Bend in the early 1990s to build a roof to cover the existing bridge so it could be used in the movie. Bridge removal is expected to be complete by October 2019. By ANDREW SELSKY Associated Press SALEM — Portland police were accused Sunday of being heavy-handed against people protesting a rally by extreme-right demonstrators, reportedly injuring some counter-protesters and prompting the city’s new police chief to order a review of officers’ use of force. Police in riot gear tried to keep the two groups apart, many of whom had come on Saturday dressed for battle in helmets and protective clothing. Doz- ens of the extreme-right protesters were bussed to Portland, one of America’s most liberal cities, from nearby Vancou- ver, Washington. Saturday’s clashes were the most recent of several this year in the city as right-wing militants converged, met by counter-protesters, including members of anti-fascist, or “antifa,” groups. City officials have struggled with striking a balance between free speech and keep- ing events from spiraling out of control. But on Saturday, some said police seemed to act mostly against those pro- testing the presence of the extreme- right demonstrators, using stun grenades and what appeared to be rubber bullets against them. Police “targeted Portland residents peacefully counter-protesting against racist far-right groups, including white supremacists, white nationalists, and neo-Nazi gangs,” the Oregon chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Rela- tions and the Portland chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America said in a statement. It called on officials to investigate. The head of the Oregon branch of the American Civil Liberties Union also criticized the way the Portland Police Bureau handled the demonstrations. “The Portland Police Bureau’s response to protest is completely unac- ceptable in a free society,” David Rog- ers said in a statement issued Sunday night. “The repeated use of excessive force, and the targeting of demonstra- tors based on political beliefs are a dan- ger to the First Amendment rights of all people. We call on the Portland Police Bureau, Mayor Wheeler, and Chief Out- law to immediately end the use of weap- ons, munitions, and explosives against protesters.” Police ordered the counter-protesters to disperse, then moved in behind a vol- ley of stun grenades. One of the rounds reportedly hit a counter-protester in the head, becoming embedded in his helmet and injuring him.

Small scuffles broke out Saturday as police in Portland deployed “flash bang” de- vices and other means to disperse hundreds of right-wing and self-described anti-fascist protesters.

Four people were arrested. Police Chief Danielle Outlaw, who assumed command less than a year ago as Portland’s first African-American female police chief, said in a statement Sunday she takes all use-of-force cases seriously. Outlaw directed the professional standards division to begin gathering evidence to determine if the force used was within policy and training guide- lines. The Office of Independent Police Review will be provided with the infor- mation for review and investigation. Saturday’s incidents started with demonstrators aligned with Patriot Prayer and an affiliated group, the Proud Boys, gathering in a riverfront park. The Proud Boys has been characterized as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is “dedicated to fight- ing hate and bigotry and to seeking jus- tice for the most vulnerable members of society.” Hundreds of counter-demonstrators faced them from across the street, hold- ing banners and signs with messages such as “Alt right scum not welcome in Portland.” Some chanted “Nazis go home.” Officers stood in the middle of a four- lane boulevard, essentially forming a wall to keep the two sides separated. The counter-protesters were made up of a coalition of labor unions, immigrant rights advocates, democratic socialists and other groups. Patriot Prayer also has held rallies in many other cities around the U.S. West, including Berkeley, California, that have drawn violent reactions. Saturday’s rally, organized by Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson, was the third to roil Portland this summer. Two previ- ous events ended in bloody fistfights and riots. Gibson disputed the group’s classifi- cation as a hate group. “We’re here to promote freedom and God. That’s it,” Gibson told Portland TV station KGW. “Our country is getting soft.” 211 S.E.

(AP) — Officials are halt- ing fishing on the Columbia River in Tri-City area where sockeye salmon are waiting while Yakima River waters cool down enough for them to move upstream. The Washington state Department of Fish and Wildlife announced that as of Monday, any sockeye or summer chinook salmon must be released if they are caught in the Columbia River in the Tri-City area, starting at the blue bridge between Kennewick and Pasco upstream to the Interstate 182 bridge between Richland and Pasco. Starting Aug. 16, sockeye also cannot be kept upriver to Priest Rapids Dam. The Tri-City Herald reports that temperatures in the Yakima River near Prosser reached more than 80 degrees in July. Biologists say the salmon may stay in the Colum- bia River until temperatures in the Yakima River cool down to at least 73 degrees.

(AP) — An executive with a Hanford Nuclear Reservation private contractor has been accused of taking more than $40,000 in illegal kickbacks. The U.S. Department of Justice says Richard Olsen, vice president of finance for Mission Support Alliance, has agreed to pay about triple that amount, $124,440, to the federal government to settle civil allegations of accepting kickbacks from Lockheed Martin Corp. The Tri-City Herald reported Monday that Mis- sion Support Alliance, once owned by Lockheed, provides a variety of information technology ser- vices at the Hanford site. As part of the settlement, Olsen agreed to cooper- ate with the ongoing investigation. But his attorney says he did not admit any wrong- doing in connection with the investigation. Hanford for decades made plutonium for nuclear weapons and now is engaged in cleaning up the waste.
