Portland police clash with residents over discarded food
Fox News
Portland police officers clashed with a group of residents on Tuesday after some people tried to take food that had been thrown away at a Fred Meyer in the city, according to a report.
Employees originally started guarding the dumpsters after some people showed up to get some of the discarded food, said local resident Morgan Mckniff, according to The Oregonian. Mckniff said the store manager then called the police, resulting in about a dozen officers arriving at the scene. The officers guarded the dumpsters and stopped people from taking the items, reports said.More Related News
