Three months after George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer, the U.S. is continuing to grapple with how to address police violence and systemic racism against Black Americans. For four Oregonians whose loved ones were killed by police, the past few months have been a time of processing grief, building community and coming up with strategies to end police violence. Joe Keller's son Deontae Keller was killed by Portland police in 1996. Kayla Washington's father Jason Washington was killed by Portland State University police in 2018. Donna Hayes' grandson Quanice Hayes was killed by Portland police in 2017. Stephanie Babb's brother Brian Babb was killed by Eugene police in 2015.

For 63 days, every possible attempt to derail a people’s movement in defense of Black lives has been made against protesters in Portland, Oregon. Every red-baiting, reactionary talking point has been deployed. On the ground, the Portland Police Bureau, the National Guard and three different types of federal paramilitary police have attempted to crush dissent. They claim it is about “law and order,” about protecting federal property from “violent anarchists.” Protesters see it for what it really is: repression. Repression of not only of 1st amendment right to peacefully assemble, but of the right of recourse against a racist government that does not serve the people, and finally, repression of a deepening movement. The protests have ebbed and flowed. There have been internal disputes and setbacks, but the largest crowds ever appeared night after night in the days following the attack on Donavan Labella, shot in the face and permanently brain damaged by a federal rubber bullet. Contingents of protesters–mothers, fathers, veterans, healthcare and culinary workers, teachers, and more–have shown up en masse to join in the call to stop the war on Black America, and to assert the right to protest. To varying degrees, protesters arrive ready to defend themselves from impact munitions and CS gas, donning gear like goggles, helmets, gas masks, gloves, and carrying homemade shields and battery operated leaf blowers. Some national media outlets have tried and failed to smear these largely non-Black groups of protesters as ‘privileged’ people co-opting a Black movement. Meanwhile in the streets, signs carried by white members of ‘the wall of moms’ read: “Wall of Moms is not the story. Black people dying is the story.” Another sign reads, “REST IN PEACE QUANICE/KILLED BY PDX POLICE,” referencing the 2017 killing of a 17-year old Black child named Quanice Hayes, whose killer still serves in the PPB. These small examples represent an attempt to build trust between an increasingly race-and-class conscious white population and the Black communities of Portland. Two months of protest cannot undo this state’s history (and present) of white supremacy, but this is a beginning.

Two years after a Portland Police officer shot and killed 17-year-old Quanice Hayes, his grandmother Donna Hayes has become a regular attendant of Portland City Hall meetings and an advocate for police reform. We talk with Donna Hayes about how her grandson’s death has spurred her activism.

On Feb. 9th 2017, 17-year old Quanice Hayes was shot and killed by Portland Police Officer Andrew Hearst. Just three days after the fatal shooting, Sergeant Gregg Lewis made the statement, "Well, let's just go out and kill all the black people." during roll call. Lewis insisted it was all a joke. He attempted to defend himself by saying it was unfortunate that his comment about shooting black people "is being colored as a racial thing." In today's episode of the Obsessively Outspoken podcast, we further delve into the Police Department cover-up, delayed termination, back pay, pension, and how the first black elected Portland City council woman, Jo Ann Hardesty made a difference. We also discuss Virginia Democratic Governor, Ralph Northam and the latest Blackface scandal involving the governor dressing up as Michael Jackson for a contest in 1984. The question we posed is should Northam step down from his post or should he take this opportunity to confront and challenge his antiquated ideology on race? We end today's episode with the Facetime bug that allows a person to eavesdrop on the other end of the call without the person being called picking up the phone. Thank you so much for joining us. Enjoy!

On February 16th, Whitenoise Project held an event in memory of Quanice Hayes, one year and a week after he was shot and killed by police. Join Pacific Underground as we replay some of the recorded audio from that event and talk about the connections between art and activism, as well as some concrete steps nonblack folks can do to be in solidarity with Black lives.

Stephen Gray is the author of Cannabis and Spirituality:  An Explorer’s Guide to an Ancient Plant Spirit Ally.  On October 1st, 2015, Oregon joined Washington and Colorado as the third state to legalize recreational use of cannabis.     Now that it is easy as going to one of the many cannabis shops in the state and choosing from a wide selection of strains, many who perhaps haven’t used cannabis since college or are curious and using it for the first time  may have many questions about the plant.   Many misconceptions about cannabis abound.   It is much maligned and misunderstood.  Today we will address questions such as: What are its effects?  What is a good dosage?  Why do some people have negative experiences with it (such as paranoia or anxiety)?  Is it addictive?   Is it good for society to legalize cannabis?    We are also going to talk about the spirituality of cannabis.   How can cannabis be an ally in spiritual practice?   I also speak with Michael Eric Dyson, author of Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America about police brutality, racism and the killing of teenager Quanice Hayes by Portland police.  Here is a letter I had published in the Oregonian and the Portland Tribune about the murder of Quanice Hayes and the failure of the grand jury to indict the officer, Andrew Hearst of the Portland Police Department. Also, a piece about it on my blog.

On February 9th 2017 in Northeast Portland, a 17 year old child, Quanice Derrick Hayes was shot three times, twice in the chest and once through the head at point blank range. He was shot and killed by Portland Police Officer Andrew Hearst. The family of Quanice Hayes is calling on Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler who also serves as police commissioner to instruct the district attorney to seek an indictment for Officer Hearst. The mother of Quanice Hayes, Venus Hayes, and the lead organizer of “Don’t Shoot Portland”, Teressa Raiford, speak with me about their struggle for accountability, transparency, and justice.
