"Portland, Gresham, and TriMet failed to adequately train and supervise
Officer Letsis and the other individual defendants before and during the
incident," the complaint reads, "and maintained policies that allowed
and condoned the acts and omissions of the police during the incident,
and which showed deliberate indifference to the rights of Ms. Medina
under the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments."
Although Transit officers are overseen by Portland police officials, and
funded through TriMet, legal agreements between police agencies, as the
Mercury has reported, leave discipline up to each officer's home department.
