ALT Stop the sweeps banner hung up on the front pillars of city hall. There are posters that say "how many portlanders must suffer this winter before you care?" "Out of sight and out of mind camping bans should be a crime" "sweep the rich" "housekeys not handcuffs" "why camps, not housing?"

ALT (redacted) continued to resist and I activated my taser. (redacted) locked up again but after the cycle, he continued to resist and ignore commands to release the bag and put his hands behind his back. At this time I noticed several bystanders that were standing in the store behind us. They kept telling us to leave (redacted) alone and just let him go.

ALT Tweet from PDX Real (redacted) is well known that he likes to punch people in the face those who approach him. The neighborhood knows to cut a wide swath around him because he's violent. The witnesses changed their tune because they were afraid of being called anti-homeless. All you need to know is the Homeless Advocacy Cartel is desperate to turn this guy into some kind of martyr, not because they care about Ronny, but because they just love to ACAB. Kevin Dahlgren replies: (redacted) has assaulted me and others multiple times the last few years. Usually he will push or slap. Some days he is mellow and others days completely unpredictable. He has good weeks and bad weeks. He’s been offered housing, mental health treatment many times.
ALT King and he answered the call, (redacted) started packing up his belongings. That lasted a couple of minutes until I arrived and (redacted) walked off. King said he has been dealing with (redacted) for about five years and he has never been violent with him and didn’t expect this type of physical confrontation from him. I gave King a victim’s information sheet with the file number and told him the directions on how to file charges with the DA’s office was on the sheet also.
