PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An independent photographer who said she was assaulted by Portland police during protests received a $50,000 settlement, which her lawyers say is the biggest after the city’s recent racial justice protests. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Teri Jacobs is now calling on Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler to denounce the police force and their actions toward press and protesters. Jacobs, who won the settlement in February, released an open letter to Wheeler this week, calling for him to condemn the officer she said assaulted her and officers who have been violent to other protesters over the past few months. A spokesperson for Wheeler’s office said they had not previously been aware of the letter.
