Glenn Waco on the Last Thursday Shooting and Gentrification
The Last Thursday shooting on NE 20th and Alberta St. has led to a police response that may do more harm than good.
After people were seen taking selfies near the crime scene, two black men were arrested while helping one of the three shooting victims.
In the meantime, the Portland Police Bureau is adding six new officers to its Gang Enforcement team. The Chief of Police says it will help curb the rise in gun violence.
Glenn Waco is a local rapper and one of the two people who was arrested. He spoke with KBOO's Alan Montecillo about police in Portland and the impact of gentrification.
Waco is scheduled to appear in court on June 11. The rationale for his arrest is still unclear.
