READ BARR'S OPENING STATEMENT"Police forces today are far more diverse than ever before; there are both more Black police chiefs and more Black officers in the ranks," Barr is expected to say. At the same time, the attorney general is expected to say, Black Americans too often kill each other. For Barr, the remarks will be an opportunity to reinforce his image as a lawman's lawman. An article by The Associated Press on Sunday documented the harrowing scene inside a Portland federal courthouse, where rioters have been gathering nightly to fire explosives at the building. A number of federal officers have been injured, including one severely burned by a mortar-style firework and three who have suffered serious eye injuries and may be permanently blind.
