Thanks for the comment. The 2012 DOJ settlement is no secret, but some police decisions regarding the standoff on Northwest 21st Avenue last month were not known by the public.

The DOJ settlement agreement is no secret to anyone. It's easy to access online and connect the dots. Sam Adams invited the DOJ in 2012. This is nothing new. We, as a city, demanded rigorous procedural scrutiny for use of force and other matters. That stand off and custodial process are the natural outcome of those demands. We can not expect the police bureau to play by any other rule.
