On Monday, Portland Mayor and Police Commissioner Ted Wheeler said that he is “supportive” of the police bureau legally using “kettling” as a tactic during destructive demonstrations.

Police used the tactic Friday night. Instead of dispersing the crowd, officers corralled close to 100 people within a single city block, recorded their names and photographed their faces. One by one, people were either escorted out of the perimeter, police said, or charged. During this process, police found people with loaded guns, smoke bombs, a dagger, slingshot and spray paint.
“My observation is that tactic was used successfully, it was used peacefully, and it ended what could have been further criminal destruction in the city of Portland,” Wheeler said. “In that particular case, I applaud PPB [Portland Police Bureau] for their thoughtfulness, planning and attention to detail and legally dotting I’s and crossing t’s.”
Laura Appleman, a law professor at Willamette University, said that “kettling” is legal.
