When Portland elected this woman, the PPB started their unofficial “work slow down”, well before the big protests. The PPB and PPA were so angry that the city would elect someone who ran on a campaign of police reform that they just stopped showing up to calls…
Edit: Which basically translates to them holding the city hostage over having their fee-fees hurt…
Wasn’t it the current PPB leader (still in the role, fyi) that recently all but confessed to eradicating traffic stops, learning police presence throughout the city, etc. in order to pressure the city for more money?
I don’t think that was Chief Lovell, but yes, I do remember reading about that recently.
People in the city literally died because of that stunt. And they’ll face absolutely no consequences over it too…
ACAB.
Aren’t >80% of the PPB officers not even from Portland itself? Most are from Vancouver, in an entirely different state! 🤬🖕🏽
