Three self-described counterfascist protesters are suing the city, claiming the Portland Police Bureau displayed excessive force against them when they were arrested.
"An officer then knocked her to the ground with such force that she fell and rolled into the middle of the street, where a large group of officers dog-piled her in a tackle and arrested her," says the suit.
Mattox claims that the police fired rubber bullets at him while he was"flipping off the officers and shouting profanities." One of those bullets hit him in the arm and caused a large gash. The suit claims Mattox was retaliated against for exercising his freedom of speech. "My clients want change from this department, and an acknowledgement that what happened that day shouldn't have happened," Chavez said."We have yet to see from the city an acknowledgement that what happened that day was a travesty."
