Police Union Clashing With Mayor Wheeler Over Job Posting Language

(Portland, OR)  --  The Portland Police Association is clashing with Mayor Ted Wheeler over the language in a job posting on the city website.  The posting is for the next chief of the Portland Police Bureau and includes a statement that Portland has "a history of legally sanctioned systemic racism."  Wheeler says the posting is accurate, while the police union says the post makes it sound like the bureau is racist.  Wheeler is conducting a national search for a new chief, though he's invited current Chief Mike Marshman to apply.
