James Philip Chasse, Jr. (May 7, 1964 – September 17, 2006) was an American from Portland, Oregon. In 2006 his death while in the custody of Portland law enforcement officers caused an outcry over civil rights and an examination of the lack of mental health crisis management training given to Portland police officers.[1] At the time of his death, he was homeless and had schizophrenia.[2]

Death

Chasse died after a physical confrontation with two Portland Police officers and a Multnomah County deputy on September 17, 2006. Officers at the scene described Chasse as a homeless person and said that he ran away from them and fought with them.[1] He was beaten and a Taser was employed multiple times on him. After the incident, Chasse was cleared medically by fire and ambulance personnel. He was then restrained and driven to jail, where nursing staff refused to admit him because of his injuries. The officers were told by jail staff to drive him to a hospital across town. He died en route.

Chasse suffered fractures in 16 of his ribs and had a total of 26 broken bones, as well as a punctured lung, broken collar bone and torn spleen.[1] The Multnomah County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death to be both "accidental" and the result of "blunt force trauma".

Over 500 friends and family members remembered Chasse at a candlelight vigil and memorial on October 14, 2006.[3][4]

Reports

After three years and public pressure, the Portland Police Bureau released an internal investigation on the death of James Chasse. The investigation included six items, a "detective notebook"[5] with six photos by witness Jamie Marquez, two separate two page disciplinary letters[6] to Portland Police officers Kyle Nice and Christopher Humphreys, suspending them for 80 hours without pay. Both were disciplined for unacceptable conduct, violation of Taser policy. After arbitration in July 2012 with the police union, both letters were revoked and Nice and Humphreys were repaid for time lost.[7] "IAD" or "Internal Affairs Division"[8] is a 389-page report including witness, expert and officer interviews, case chronology and exhibits. Detectives included Portland's training[9] manual about mental illness, and a 623-page narrative (archived here in three parts)[10][11][12] review of Chasse's killing with redacted training materials.

The city's auditor commissioned an investigation[13] on the investigation of the death of James Chasse in July 2010.[14]

Public outcry

Chasse's death produced an outcry in the Oregon media, with hundreds of news stories, editorials and front page articles following the case, and from civil rights and health advocates. Although Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk failed to bring an indictment against the officers, he did release all testimony presented to the grand jury. Portland mayor Tom Potter apologized to the Chasse family, convened a Mental Health Task Force to review the city's policies, and implemented a crisis intervention training program to improve the way in which city and county police respond to situations involving mental illness, but failed to discipline the officers who beat Chasse: Kyle Nice, Christopher Humphreys and Bret Barton.

A documentary film, the Life and Death of James Chasse, about James Chasse by Oregon filmmaker Brian Lindstrom premiered February 15, 2013, in Portland, Oregon.[15]
