A black police officer from the Portland Police Department is gaining attention online for his testimony describing the racist treatment minority members of his force received from white protesters during Black Lives Matter demonstrations.
The city of Portland, Oregon, has experienced nearly 50 days of ongoing protests following the death of George Floyd in late May, and the abuse from activists toward law enforcement has led members of the PPD and their families to speak out.
One of those speaking out is Officer Jakhary Jackson, who described to Lt. Tina Jones last week during press availability what it has been like on the other side of the nightly protest lines.
"I'll say this," Jackson began, "I got to see folks that really do want change like the rest of us that have been impacted by racism, and then I got to see those people get faded out by people who have no idea what racism is all about who have never experienced racism, that don't even know that the tactics they are using are the same tactics that were used against my people."
Officer Jackson recalled the treatment during demonstrations.
"A lot of times, someone of color black, Hispanic, Asian would come up to the fence and directly want to talk to me," he said. But often, "someone white comes up, 'F the police, don't talk to him."
The officer said it became a pattern.
"I even had a young, African American girl tell me, 'Why is you guys aren't talking to us,' I said, 'Honestly, this is now the 23rd day of doing it, every time I try to have a conversation with someone that looks like me, someone white comes up and blocks them and tells them them not to talk,' and then right when I said that this white girl popped right in front her."
Jackson continued:
It says something when you're at a Black Lives Matter protest you have more minorities on the police side than you have in a violent crowd. And you have white people screaming at black officers, ''You have the biggest nose I've ever seen.' You hear these things and go, 'Are these people, are they going to say somethin
g to this person? No.'
And that's just one example. Having people tell you what to do with your life, that you need to quit your job, that you're hurting your community but they're not even a part of the community. Once again, you as a privileged white person telling someone of color what to do with your life.

Here is an example of oraganized white supremacist racism towards blacks that the "diversity and inclusion", "anti-racist", "social justice" crowd not only won't be bothered by, but that they will ACTIVELY SUPPORT. Because they're anti-racists, of course.
Bunch of haters.
Of course. Because white leftists are the real racists.
What actually is meant by anti-racist? Is this some type of totalitarian term?
Throughout history the left has attracted the most hate filled and violent people humanity has ever seen. It has happened over and over and over again.
The left is a magnet for psychopaths and sociopaths.
Those on the Left find it in their interest to treat minorities as children and zoo animals.
In America, “racism” is a bad word. They want it to refer to anything that isn’t Marxist, so that anyone that disagrees with Marxism will be considered a bad person.
When they say “racism”, they don’t mean what most everyone understands that word to mean, but they want you to think they do.
Bubba got hisself a weekday job???
Could not listen to it; background music as way too high
College collusion at its best.
We have a winner Alex! Show him what he won!
Now the cops are crying about racism....These people should have found other jobs. WTF do they think cops deal with on a daily basis? Fair minded rational people?
They need to find other work. Just like their political bosses...For their own safety, before the wheels come completely off.
A sympathetic post on FreeRepublic.com. LOL
I do appreciate it! :)
Of course!
I don’t think these nutcases care about racism. This is about destroying America and instituting Marxism.
The Black Avenger, Kenny Hamblin, used to to talk about folks like these. Always willing to help black folks out by explaining things to the poor dumb souls, then patting themselves on the back. I believe he called it the ought to be grateful, darkie attitude.
You ought to be grateful....
Did you watch the video? I did and what you wrote is exactly what struck me when I watched it. Black police officer saying the whites were racist to him but the black people were not.
He went on to say how he had faced racism in his life yada yada yada. I think both of the groups at the protest are racist and pieces of crap.
Black people do attack and belittle black cops too. Lots of videos off it since the mostly peaceful riots have been going on.
Standard leftist fare, now this police officer is blaming whitey even though there are plenty of “minority” folk rioting and doing damage.
