Additional body camera footage released following the resignation of a Eugene Police Department officer over racist comments includes further anti-immigrant remarks and politically charged statements made while the officer was on duty near a protest at the Eugene Federal Building on Jan. 30.

The newly released footage appears to show the same officer, identified as Martin Siller, whose resignation was announced Saturday by EPD Police Chief Chris Skinner after a Eugene community member released body camera footage containing racist remarks.

According to Skinner, Siller was a patrol officer with EPD for seven years and was formerly an officer with the West Valley City Police Department in Utah for 20 years.

The additional footage includes the full 23 minutes of the originally published video as well as an additional 15-minute recording flagged by EPD internal investigations. The recordings show the officer listening to and reacting to political commentary regarding ICE enforcement actions and related protests while driving near the federal building.

At one point in the footage, the officer states, “I’m a big supporter of ICE,” before going on to say, “F**k the Somali and Latino communities. I’m about the American communities,” and later adding, “I only care about left-handed Somalis.”

In the initial footage, the officer joked about Black people while discussing cruise lines, saying, “They can’t swim. You’ve got to be able to swim if you go,” before another individual on the call referenced foods commonly associated with racist stereotypes.

That footage also included a conversation in which the officer and an individual on the phone discussed coworkers who allegedly abused family members, including one allegation that a coworker “chucked” his daughter against a wall and slapped her.

While driving near the protest, the officer also said “none of (the protesters) give a shit about illegal aliens, you know what I mean, they don’t know any,” referring to protesters outside the Eugene Federal Building. He later added, “Shit, I’m married to one. You think I would be out there.”

Skinner on Saturday called the comments in the videos “unacceptable” and said they do not reflect the values of EPD.

“There is no excuse for racist remarks from anyone who wears this badge,” Skinner said in Saturday’s statement.

When asked during a press conference how Eugene community members were feeling following the release of the footage, Skinner said they were “pissed off.”

“I don’t blame them. All we can do at this point is own our role in this,” Skinner said. “Yet you don’t want the entirety of the Eugene Police Department’s reputation to be shaped by one officer’s actions. But we know that that’s fragile.”

Immediately after reviewing the footage, Independent Police Auditor Craig Renetzky opened a preliminary investigation, calling the footage “highly offensive, racist in their nature and simply put, disgusting.”

During the press conference, Renetzky said the case involved allegations of misconduct and that he “won’t lose any sleep bringing it if an officer or employee was aware of it and didn’t bring it forward.”

“They’re obligated to, they’re expected to do so and if they don’t, I’ll have a serious problem with that,” Renetzky said.

Because Siller resigned, the auditor can no longer bring allegations of misconduct against him because he is no longer an EPD employee. However, the investigation will remain open to determine whether any additional voices heard in the recordings belonged to EPD employees.

According to Renetzky, following “phase one” of the investigation, it was determined that the individuals heard on the phone calls were most likely former colleagues of Siller and were not EPD officers.  

“Phase two” of the investigation will include a review of EPD’s background-checking process, while “phase three” will focus on identifying areas for improvement moving forward, Renetzky said.
