I was confused when I read the KATU article on this where they mention the dog was shot by a cop but also in the caption of a photo of the dog they say it was shot and killed during the shootout?
Also, they left the death of a person as almost an afterthought. Bizarre news making.

Updated information shows PPB killed the man and the dog. Absolutely shameful how some media talked about this man’s life like it was an afterthought, and unquestioningly put out copaganda.
This is one of the most insane news segments I’ve ever seen.
Hey this incredible hero dog died this is terrible day for the police — we’re not going to tell you who shot the dog — also a human was shot and killed but we’re not saying by who but the police say he’s violent.
Also cops on admin leave

Here is my full statement on the tweets I made in 2020 regarding the police. The PPA, PPB, Mayor and several of my colleagues have all made statements following that Oregonian piece. The public deserves to know what I think about that and stand for - then and now.

I just signed the Millionaires' Tax into law.
We're rebalancing our unfair system while providing free school meals, the largest small business tax break in state history, no sales tax on baby diapers, and checks to nearly 500,000 working families to make life more affordable.
