There have been a handful of police shootings in Portland over the past couple years. In each case it was determined to be justified, if looked at reasonably. No police have been punished. For example, in the most recent case a man was pulled over. When asked to show ID he pulled out a gun and shot a cop. He was then shot and killed by other police officers. It's hard to say that isn't a justified use of force.
