The Portland Police Bureau has a problem with effective policing and the only way they think they can solve it is by lying. The Post Millennial staff reporter Katie Daviscourt has been repeatedly assaulted and threatened. She was assaulted on Sept. 30 for reporting on Antifa and protest activity outside the ICE facility in Portland, Ore. since June. Yet in their documentation of the violence, Sgt. Andrew Braun claimed that Daviscourt was a “counter-protester,” suggesting she was responsible for the violence committed against her. This is defamatory, false and is an unacceptable attack on the professionalism of one of our reporters.
Daviscourt has been diligently reporting on the protest and riot activity for months, recording her work both in The Post Millennial and on X for all the world to see while local legacy media stayed away for safety reasons. On Sept. 30, the world saw another report from Daviscourt, but this one ended with a concussion and an eye hemorrhage. She was reporting outside the facility when a woman swung a flagpole at her, bashing her in the face.
The woman was then whisked away to an Antifa safe house, but Daviscourt followed, bringing a Portland police officer with her. That officer caught up with the assailant, who balked at being questioned at all. The masked suspect claimed to be under age, and the officer simply let her go. Daviscourt followed, at her own peril.
