News Chasse Incident—One Year On

Posted by Matt Davis on Wed, Aug 15 at 3:04 PM

The Mental Health association of Portland is inviting people to help prepare for the anniversary of the death in police custody of James Chasse last September 17th, by holding a meeting on September 1 from 2 – 4 PM at Midland Library, 805 S.E. 122nd Avenue.jimjimpolaroid.jpgCHASSE AT 17: “Dapper little anarchist…”

“Chasse was attacked, beaten and killed by Portland Police officers Kyle Nice and Christopher Humphreys, and by Multnomah County Sheriff’s Deputy Brett Burton,” says the invitation. The Chasse family is still pursuing a lawsuit against the city over his death.

It’s not clear yet, what is planned for the 17th. But if you’re interested in finding out, maybe you’d like to go to the meeting. The MHA has set up a new blog about Chasse, which you can read here. Or of course you can start with the Mercury’s coverage, right here.

Comments

A hearty "Thanks for not crushing my chest" is always appreciated by the cops scamming overtime at Timbers games.

Ralph,

What do you care if they are "scamming" overtime at Timbers games? You're not paying for it unless you're buying tickets.
