I live in Portland and I'm very concerned. And if you start talking to people I really don't think we're that far apart in our concerns.
Let me ask you this, do you think the Portland Police, as a whole, are doing a good job right now?
I sure don't.
I didn't like the Danielle Outlaw hire and I don't like they just promoted from within for her replacement. A replacement that has kept the same ranking officers in their positions.
Now there are some in the thread that will blame the political makeup of the citizens for the problems with the police. But I don't see dems, repubs, or anarchists being happy with how this city is policed.
