Episode notes
DOJ Probes Portland Policing
- Tim Pool and guests say the DOJ Civil Rights Division opened an investigation into Portland police for alleged viewpoint-based enforcement after Nick Sorter was arrested and Katie Davis Court was attacked.
- They argue federal scrutiny matters because it can force disclosure of bodycam footage and incident reports to address possible discriminatory policing.
Selective Policing As Political Tool
- Tim Pool argues Portland police protect Antifa and selectively enforce laws to advance local political aims like obstructing ICE.
- He frames selective arrests as evidence of politicized policing that federal oversight should correct.
Use Video To Force Accountability
- Use social media video and crowdsourced attention to force accountability when local authorities ignore assaults on journalists.
