Portland Police Bureau, saying five officers unlawfully entered their apartment
while they were sleeping, tased the man, and forced the woman to stand in her
underwear during a search. Police went onto the couple’s balcony and shined
lights into the apartment, where the couple was sleeping. After an hour on
scene, police decided to enter the apartment through an unlocked front door.

not a crime. The heart of this lawsuit is after the police found the couple in
bed, they knew that there was no emergency. They should have left the home
Instead they turned it into a confrontation and escalated the violence until
