The 18 people arrested in Friday night’s protest against police shootings of black men that blocked off a busy portion of Commercial Street in Portland for hours were mostly residents of the city in their 20s.
Portland police released a list of the names of those arrested Saturday afternoon. A 16-year-old minor was not identified. All were charged with obstructing a public way.
They Portland residents were identified as: Idman Abdul, 22; Salma Hassan, 22, Alba Briggs, 25; Mariana Angelo, 20; Sable Knapp, 26; Kennedy Johnson, 22; Caitlin Vaughan, 29; Sarah Lazar, 32; Nasreen Sheikhyousef, 25; Kennedy Barteaux, 38; Shadiyo Hussain-Ali, 23; Llewellyn Pinkerton, 21; Leah Karvette, 25; Barbara Van Derburgh, 22; and Jenessa Hayden, 23. Also arrested were Karen Lane, 50, of Lewiston and Lelia Saad, 24, South Portland.
Portland officials released statements Saturday in response to the protest.
Mayor Ethan Strimling called the police department’s response admirable.
“We should not underestimate the fact that while they worked toward a peaceful culmination to the protests downtown, our police and first responders continued to protect and serve the nearly 70,000 people who call Portland home. I thank all of our first responders for their service,” Strimling said.
Strimling also directed his statement to the protesters, calling their anger understandable but urging them to protest peacefully.
“I urge you to join the dialogue and work with the city and our police department to make sure your words are heard and not overshadowed by breaking laws meant to keep people safe. I understand and respect the right to protest. But we must remember that it is when we stop shouting that we hear each other best,” he said.
City Manager Jon Jennings said he was proud of the Police Department’s response to the protest.
“The commitment and professionalism shown by every member of the Portland Police Department is a tremendous example of what makes this city great. I want to thank Chief Sauschuck and all the men and women who serve our city bravely and with great sacrifice,” he said, referring to Police Chief Michael Sauschuck. “The City administration supports our police department wholeheartedly and can never thank them enough for all they do to keep us safe.”
Just as surprising is the support of the police dept from our very liberal mayor Ethan Strimling.
This morning I saw a Facebook post that two of the arrestees were not being released because they refused to take off their head covering for their mug shots. The libs were all in thither over this microagression. Which was reported resolved when they complied.
Notice the Muslim names there as well. Never at a peace rally.
“Notice the Muslim names there as well. Never at a peace rally.”
And the feckess, stupid women who are indolently following these a$$holes!
Strimling, another jackass ‘ from away ‘ who knows what’s best for the locals.
Lotta muzzards in that. So IS is sponsoring subversion at the local level.
It’s all about love until 100 Arab men marry them.
- and two clowns named ‘ Kennedy ‘ one of whom has the last name of Johnson. ‘ Kennedy Johnson ‘ as in the 1960 Democrat ticket.
Llewellyn Pinkerton, 21

Half expected names like Gonna Rhea, Sly Phyllis, and Calm Medea.
Wasn’t disappointed.
Where’s Gersh Kuntzman?
And several white sounding names.
He’s been hiding under his bed since the 4th of July.
Neighbor kid dropped a sparkler on his sidewalk.
Professionalism....... BS

“Notice the Muslim names there as well”
Muslim names - men
American names - women
Last time I was in the UK I noticed lots of brown man - blonde girl couples. This is very common in Scandinavia, also.
I think Euro females are very angry at their own men for giving in to their feminist BS.
