ICYMI: Following news that he'd once choked his stepson, Portland's new police chief, Mike Marshman, has released his personnel file and investigative files into the incident. Here's our own Dirk VanderHart:
It's a rare and sort of stunning move by the new chief, who's stressed accountability and "community trust" since being promoted last Monday (and it's probably the cheapest any substantive police record has been in this city in years). And the files at times paint a deeply unflattering picture of Marshman.

In recent days, jihadists killed 41 people at Istanbul’s bustling, shiny airport; 22 at a cafe in Bangladesh; and at least 250 celebrating the final days of Ramadan in Baghdad. Then the Islamic State attacked, again, with bombings in three cities in Saudi Arabia.
This is why there hasn't been an outpouring of support from the West.

Bad news for the commenters who blow up my Twitter mentions with "INDICT THE WOAR CRIMINAL" shouting: The FBI is recommending no charges against Hillary Clinton for her email troubles, but take heart! FBI director James Comey did give her a "we're very disappointed" lecture. Meanwhile, Wonkette has a delightful explainer.
