Portland is in big trouble. Gun violence is up 2 1/2 times over the same period last year and ever since the city council voted a 7% cut in the police budget, the city streets have exploded in violence.
The police unit dedicated to fighting gun violence — the Gun Violence Reduction Team — was disbanded because too many black people were being arrested, which means it was racist…or something. Regardless, getting rid of a unit that did nothing all day but combat gun violence had immediate consequences.
Former Salinas, Calif., Police Chief Kelly McMillin told the Portland police,

I wonder if Portland can "reimagine" murdered people back to life.

I suppose this new police unit would be dedicated to dealing with the ''gun-toting white supremist'' but not with honest black criminals.... You can see this coming from a mile away!

What sane person would even apply for this job. That mayor is nuts
These riots could be stopped in one minute. Shoot em. And while that mess is being stopped, the tent village where the rioters are being housed on city property, should be leveled. But. Like I said. That mayor could stop this none sense. But wont

I would say that the city councilors can’t see anything past the tip of their tongues. Not too many thinkers in that group.

Having a real hard time mustering up any sympathy for Portland or any bastions of the left these days. Tired of pouring money and human treasure into these hellholes while they burn them down and tell me I'm the problem.

Now is the time the Portland Police should ALL walk off the Job. Let the Thugs rule for maybe a week or two. THEN when Ted Wheeler comes begging, hat in hand, for the Police to return, they will be able to NEGOTIATE the Terms of how they will police the streets. They MUST have the right to use force, they MUST be free from prosecution if they should shoot to kill one of the Thugs who has been in power! No Police Officer should have to do their job and at the same time worry about going to prison if they shoot someone! If Ted Wheeler says no, WALK out! It's come to a stand off IMHO! It's now or never to save Portland. If Wheeler guesses wrong, the Business owners had better start packing up because they will be robbed over and over again! And once that happens, the BLM and ANTIFA Thugs will begin moving into the neighborhoods!

The mayor should staff that reinstated police unit with culturally and socially appropriate Black officers, stand back, and see that happens. They should not be surprised if more Black violent criminals are then arrested by the new Black officer reinstated unit then before. The truth be known Black criminals hate legitimate Black police officers a lot more than White officers, as they usually can’t Bas the Black officers who know “hood” culture.
The problem with applying for a police officer job in a city like Portland today is that the leftist and liberal Democrats are getting ready to pass a new law stripping police officers of qualified immunity which will result in officers being continuously sued anytime they come up against a tough situation on the streets. Nobody needs that so the smart move is to become a firefighter instead.

The only solution for police in Portland - old cops hang on and do as little as possible until they can retire, young cops look for jobs in more police-friendly jurisdictions. Those in the middle - decide which approach works best on an individual basis. Let the social workers take over.

The Mayor hardly did anything to stop the rioting and violence during the summer. In addition, the GVRT was disbanded a while back and the shootings have recently skyrocketed. Human waste and syringe needles on the streets and sidewalks, "homeless" tents blanket neighborhoods. It's too late Mayor Puke. The city is a s**thole while you attempt to raise taxes. So pleasure to see the city go down the toilet in rapid fashion.

Liberals are incapable of learning anything. Their Democrat cities should burn to the ground. Law enforcement should declare them a No-Go Zone and pull out.

Does this mean that the social workers didn't work out?
