Two people who were hired to gather signatures for a Portland ballot initiative that would use clean energy funds to hire police say they were trained to mislead the public about the proposal. If true, the conduct would violate state elections rules, and could spell trouble for the petitioners and the company hired to lead the signature-gathering campaign.

In addition to prohibiting all police from wearing facial coverings and requiring them to have visible identification, the legislation—which Kanal began crafting last September—also instructs city police officers to verify the identity of other law enforcement officers if it’s unclear whether someone is a sworn agent or what agency they work for. The new ordinance also requires local police to document those encounters, as a tool for logging how frequently other law enforcement agencies aren’t cooperating with local rules, and to track where other agencies are operating.

In the past year, both Officer Kerri Ottoman and former union president Brian Hunzeker have been added to prosecutors’ Potential Impeachment Disclosure Index. The index is sometimes known as the Brady List, after a Supreme Court ruling in 1963 that requires prosecutors to disclose any evidence they have that might exonerate a defendant.

What emboldened these people was not just gathering in numbers and terrorizing anyone in their path but also that Mayor Ted Wheeler and the Portland police did so little to hinder in any way these premeditated acts of terrorism. In fact, the city and the various federal law enforcement outfits that aid them failed so miserably that they essentially welcomed and encouraged the extremists to push their neo-fascism to a grander scale. During a 2019 rally by these out-of-state purveyors of terror Mayor Wheeler and the Portland police even inexplicably choose to close down an entire bridge so that the violent interlopers might traverse the city more triumphantly and pose for photo ops.

The Trump administration’s smear campaign against the victim was quickly repeated by supporters on social media. Nick Sortor, one of a group of right-wing influencers camped out in Minneapolis to cover ICE’s campaign there, falsely referred to Pretti as an “illegal alien” and added that he “was armed with a gun and attempted to PULL IT on agents as he was being apprehended.”

A group chat that Owendoff messages includes a contact with the initials “EA.” When reached by phone January 12, Portland Police Bureau officer and City Council District 4 candidate Eli Arnold told the Mercury, “I feel like I may have seen something like that, okay, but they—some people are very prolific texters.” Arnold is not shown responding to the texts.
