Portland police officer Jakhary Jackson took Black Lives Matter protesters to task last week, calling them hypocritical for having fewer minorities in their “violent” crowd than the police officers they’re supposedly fighting against. The comments from Jackson appeared on a recorded interview that was released by the Portland Police Department on Wednesday. Jackson acknowledged that he did meet decent people at demonstrations who sincerely wanted to reform police departments for the better. The mayor’s office and the Portland Police Department could not be reached for comment Thursday evening. That same day, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said he had rebuked an offer of help from acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf.
