There’s some very valid criticisms for how the chaostown folks mishandled the safety and protection of the subjects identity in the documentary, but I think it’s also very important to acknowledge how PPB is also targeting these filmmakers as a personal “fuck you.” Earlier today, Portland Police posted a clip from the documentary on their instagram with a song titled “you can’t run, you can’t hide” over it. The documentary got over 500,000 views on YouTube and made the cops look bad. It’s an attempt to shame them and is absolutely politically motivated. A man who removes graffiti as passion project who was featured in the documentary was also profiled by local media and the article was released around the same time the press release came out. I don’t have any proof, but I’m pretty confident that this was a coordinated effort with PPB too. We already know they’re in communication and get a heads up about certain stories and they operate as mouthpieces for the State.

Additionally, if you look at the press release you’ll see photos of Nathan Vasquez, along with a video of him in the stash room that they also posted on their instagram today. Why is he a part of this raid, he’s not even in office yet… is he assigned to these cases? PPB’s PIO is doing this to help boost his image as the “law and order” DA. Police monitoring media and cracking down this way is so concerning, and a coordinated effort to do so with cops and DA is a huge red flag.
