Occupy Vigil Takes up Camp at the Justice Center: Protest Rough and Targeted Arrest of Organizer

As the vigil to end homelessness in front of city hall faces continual police scrutiny, a new occupy vigil has opened up in front of the Justice Center across from Chapman park.  

Protesters maintain that an organizer was singled out because of his leadership and that the Portland police used excessive force in the arrest.

KBOO’s Joe Meyer was at the vigil and filed this report.
