(AP) — Once-forgotten plaques placed by a Portland police officer in a city park to honor five Nazi-era German soldiers have come back to haunt the city. The officer, Capt. Mark Kruger, threatened to sue the city last year over texts sent by a top police official to an officer characterizing him as a Nazi sympathizer. A small cluster of protesters last weekend admonished both Mayor Charlie Hales and the Portland Police Bureau, with organizers calling the settlement an "injustice, and a celebration of white supremacy." The Oregonian detailed the city's dealings with Kruger in a series of stories that culminated with the police chief suspending Kruger and forcing him to take a tolerance training session. Three years later, a police lieutenant complained that Kruger created a hostile work environment when she was promoted to his department — something that she said was made more difficult because she had played a role in the 2010 investigation into his conduct.
