COMBS, Branden Officer Branden Combs is one of the cops that, according to the Portland Independent Media Center (“Breaking News Archive Anti-Police Brutality/Murder March 3/29/10”), was observed by participants in the March 29 th 2010 street march assaulting people with his bicycle. He is also named in a lawsuit for false arrest, assault and battery, and denial of civil rights stemming from an incident on August 5, 2007. According to the lawsuit, “without warning, he was tackled and thrown to the Officer Branden Combs sidewalk and into a building by three to four police officers. His hands were handcuffed behind his back, he was kicked in the ribs several times, and he was struck or kicked in the temple.” The person that was beat up by the cops was charged with harassment and interfering with a police officer, but was acquitted at trial and is now suing the City of Portland and police officers Branden Combs, Brian Hubbard, Aaron Schmautz, Matthew Wells and Jason Worthington. “Another Alleged Portland Police Tackle: This Time, It’s a Lawsuit” August 6th, 2009, Willamette Week
DAUCHY, Aaron Aaron Dauchy was the cop who pulled the hair of a 12- year-old girl at a MAX stop, prompting her to then resist. According to a March 4, 2010 article in the Portland Mercury (“DA Prosecutes 13-Year-Old Girl over Beanbag Shooting”), "use of force expert Stephen Yurger said he had watched the video, and saw no reason for Officer Dauchy to reach out to grab the defendant's hair." It was only after being pulled by the hair, by a full grown male police officer, that she allegedly punched Officer Dauchy in the mouth. While cops routinely tell lies and it should not be assumed that the girl actually did hit Officer Dauchy, if she did she was probably justified. Nonetheless, the girl was convicted and sentenced to one year probation and 24 hours community service.
