In this Aug. 30, 2020 file photo, Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell speaks during a news conference. On Tuesday, June 22, 2021, Lovell and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced that officers will no longer pull over vehicles for low-level violations where public safety isn't a concern. Wheeler said the change was due in part to the fact that Black drivers are pulled over in disproportionate numbers in the city. (Sean Meagher/The Oregonian via AP)
