Haynes Demands Police Accountability | Portland News

Reverend LeRoy Haynes Jr. and his coalition are sounding the alarm after Portland city officials refused to hold police leadership accountable for mishandling 2020 racial justice protests — despite a damning Independent Police Review that found failures in reporting and oversight. Joining forces with Mental Health Alliance and Portland Copwatch, they’re demanding full transparency and documents from the city, challenging Mayor Keith Wilson and Deputy City Administrator Tracy Warren for ignoring two key reform recommendations. While the review didn’t blame leadership for excessive force, it exposed systemic breakdowns during high-stress demonstrations — problems the city now dismisses as resolved, even as federal lawsuits loom. Haynes remains undeterred, vowing to keep pushing until every protester is treated with dignity and respect — no matter their background.
