BREAKING: We just released a joint statement with the ACLU of Oregon regarding reports of interference with journalists and legal observers and potential armed extremist activity in Vancouver, WA.
Read below for the details
Reports are alleging that officers in Vancouver, WA interfered with journalists and legal observers performing constitutionally protected functions during a vigil in memory of Kevin Peterson, Jr. who was killed on 10.29.2020, by Clark County sheriff's deputies in Hazel Dell.
A journalist and a legal observer were arrested during the vigil. Additionally, there were reports that law enforcement officers were not adequately protecting protesters from individuals and militarized groups seeking to interfere with the vigil.
As we mourn the loss of another Black life at the hands of police, we are deeply concerned by reports that law enforcement agents have been:
Harassing and arresting members of the press and legal observers.
Interfering with the constitutional right to free speech.
Failing to protect those participating in the vigil from private, militarized groups.
We will continue to vigilantly monitor the situation in Vancouver.
