On Thursday night, a group of leftist protesters targeted the home of Portland City Commissioner Dan Ryan after he refused to vote for defunding the police, hurling objects at his home, breaking a window, shining bright lights through windows, and throwing burning flares and paint-filled balloons at the home.
In late October, the five-member city council met to consider Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty’s proposal to cut the Portland Police Bureau’s budget by $18 million. The night before, protesters visited Ryan, who was sworn in September after winning an August runoff over former Multnomah County Commissioner Loretta Smith, at his North Portland home, pushing him to vote for the proposal.
