Warning for screaming and foul language. This is what the poor officers had to put up with.
The protesters who had been allowed to stay there by the liberal city government have now earned the ire not only of the officers but also the local neighbors and the police have finally told them they have to get out.
Employees of color at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement center in Southwest Portland, Oregon, have reportedly been on the receiving end of an onslaught of racist taunts by the Occupy ICE protesters who set up camp there nearly six weeks ago.
Email records obtained by The Oregonian showed that several nonwhite federal officers reported racial abuse after the occupiers started their non-stop demonstration on June 17.
One black federal officer reported to an administrator that protesters yelled racial slurs, including “blood traitor,” “Uncle Tom” and the N-word.
“These racial slurs have been directed at me throughout the entire length of the deployment,” the officer reportedly wrote.
A female officer, who is of Hispanic and Native American descent, said she was called derogatory terms for Hispanic people and told she is “a weak female” and a “traitor,” The Oregonian reported.
“I was berated for so long I can’t even remember everything that was told to me,” the officer wrote.
