According to Portland’s leftist Mayor Ted Wheeler, blacks have been unfairly targeted for low-level traffic infractions, and that is a chief reason he is recommending that police stop pursuing people who commit them.
Unless there is an immediate safety threat, Wheeler said, the practice of pursuing such traffic infractions must end. He stated that 6% of Portland residents are black, but they comprise 18% of traffic stops in the city.
