PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is not content to let an investigation into the former president of the city’s police union continue with the usual due process. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Portland Police Association President Brian Hunzeker acknowledged in a statement Tuesday that he committed a “serious, isolated mistake” related to a leaked report that wrongly identified Portland Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty as the suspect of a hit-and run crash. It didn’t explain Hunzeker’s mistake. Mayoral spokesman Jim Middaugh said Wednesday that Hunzeker can truncate the investigative process by just telling the whole truth now. Police union president Daryl Turner cited police contract protections that allow accused officers to stay quiet.
