EXCERPT:

Use of force by local police in response to the protests has been of much concern, even resulting in temporary restraining orders. However, many have noted an escalation in police violence since federal officers became more prominent at protests in recent weeks.

Not long after midnight Wednesday morning, federal officers fired a riot munition striking Miller in his head as he filmed the officers and backpedaled away from them.

Miller, who is African American, was one of at least two people confirmed to have suffered serious injuries at the hands of federal officers at the protest beginning Tuesday night and lasting into Wednesday morning. James McNulty, a white 42-year-old Portland man, said he too was hospitalized after being hit with multiple less-lethal munitions. Portland police said they had no presence at the protests that night.

Miller and Anderson have four children together. She said she was with him when he was shot.

“He thought he was losing his life,” Anderson said. “He was saying his last words because he really thought that this was it.”
