Authorities say someone left a dead raccoon and a sign with “intimidating language” outside an Oregon city mayor’s law office.
Police aren’t revealing the sign's exact language in order to maintain the integrity of the investigation.Someone left a dead raccoon and a sign with “intimidating language” that mentioned a Black city councilor outside the law office of an Oregon mayor, police said.
Fitch called the sign's language “racially hateful.” He declined to elaborate but told The Bulletin, “I feel bad for Clifford. It seems there’s some people in town that can’t accept the fact that Clifford is Black and is on the City Council.” Evelyn, a retired law enforcement officer who was elected to the council in 2021, described the act as a hate crime but said he has confidence in the police investigation, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
