Sgt. Scott Westerman, head of the Portland police union, says Adams’ lies are unacceptable despite the announcement today by Attorney General John Kroger that he will not prosecute the mayor.

“We don’t accept a police officer lying in the course of their duties,” Westerman says. “I’m not understanding why we should accept it from our politicians.”

The police union called for Adams to resign when Adams admitted in January that he lied repeatedly about his affair with Beau Breedlove. But Westerman says the union will not take an active role in an Adams recall.

“We will allow our membership that lives in the city of Portland to vote as they see fit (in a recall),” Westerman says.

    The same Westerman that said this “We’re here to show Joey a friendly face” after attending the arraignment of an sexually threatening little girls. He throws the Mayor under the bus for dishonesty but supports his membership even though they are literally terrorizing Portlanders.

  2. Rose says:

    Lies still unacceptable?

    Well, asking somebody about their personal sex life is also unacceptable and totally invasive.

    I’d lie about who I have had sex with too, if you asked me.

      Why lie? Why not just respond with “none of your business”? Had our illustrious mayor done so, think of all the electrons that would have been saved not dealing with it…
