Huh.
I know a couple of guys who work for TVFR- I should hit em up for a SITREP. |

Until 911 is answered with, “sorry this number is no longer in service” people won’t learn a fucking thing.

If Portland became Kim's down range nuclear test site, I'd have not a single fuck to give.

Quoted: Enjoy your socialist paradise https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-police-tell-residents-911-response-times-may-be-delayed-due-to-staffing-shortage-critical-incidents View Quote Well.... if it's anything like my AO, then the 'burbs where there property values are high and there isn't much crime will have PDs with time to respond to most everything. The crappy 'burbs with low property values and high crime will have PDs so overwhelmed that anything other than critical calls will take a looooong time to respond to, if at all. So... the middle and upper class white liberals will still enjoy their relative safety, being insulated from the true effects of what they've voted for. It's the less fortunate people that will get to suck it down even harder. |

So are the normal people just doing it old school? ""Charlie, I just killed some motherfuckers breaking into my place, can you bring the backhoe over?"

Regardless of the precinct where an offender is booked, the DA is refusing to prosecute - and is even less likely to prosecute crimes against those evil rich white people who live in affluent neighborhoods. |

Quoted: Also- being on priority calls only was due to the shooting/chase/car jacking mess. It actually happens all the time. On big riot days, it is priority calls only for entire shifts. Not really unusual, it just ties in with all the retirements, people quitting, budget cuts, etc. View Quote Yup. Kinda busy yesterday. That shit shut down I5 for about 7 hours. |

I hate to see innocent people suffer.
But these lessons need to be painful and swift. They need to learn that following their naive feelings and wishing for a socialist utopia is a recipe for disaster. |

There are areas other than Portland out west where you often won't get a response unless there is a dead body, and even then they may drag their feet. And it's not just blue areas.
If there is one thing I have learned in arfcom in the last month or so it's that a ton of people have no idea what things are like in various parts of the US. |

I grew up 100 miles from the nearest police station. They generally didn't care about what went on out there unless it was a dead person or on fire. |

Quoted: Maybe they could import a bunch of them from some country where the average salary is 3 dollars a month - Like they do with nurses. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: It's not like they can even hire new guys either. Anyone that would apply to be an LEO in PDX, isn't someone that should be an LEO in the first place. Maybe they could import a bunch of them from some country where the average salary is 3 dollars a month - Like they do with nurses. Sounds good to me. Roaming PDX death squads like La Sombra Negra cleaning up the streets after hours. |

100% all of this is to implement a national police force. There are no other reasons for doing this at all...

The solution is clear. Shut up with the rhetoric and disband with the police already. Then invite even more Antifa and BLM terrorists in to ramp up their burning and looting. I'm sure that will solve all their crime and injustices.

Good.
It'll be even better after then next riots, when the department is down to 20 or 30 of their worst, more inept cops remaining. Epic youtube streams of the parasites looting and burning whatever is left on a nightly basis. |

I used to live in Portland.
I might still have NextDoor from that neighborhood loaded because of the lulz. |

Quoted: True, but that won’t stop them from hiring a few dreamy eyed fools who think they are going to talk down the methed wackos without ever using any force... Or the true believer leftists. Replacing the old school cops is at least part of what all this is about. That place has everyone who is older kind of stuck working there, due to being in the city’s retirement system. But the younger ones are in the state wide retirement system, so many are going elsewhere in OR, since literally every single city and county is less nuts than PDX. Who wouldn’t take a pay cut to get away from there? View Quote There it is. |

Quoted: Officers in precincts near affluent areas are being transferred to high-crime precincts. Regardless of the precinct where an offender is booked, the DA is refusing to prosecute - and is even less likely to prosecute crimes against those evil rich white people who live in affluent neighborhoods. View Quote They are all high crime precincts, and they only have three nowadays, they used to have 5 active precincts. And everyone gets booked downtown at the jail, not at the precincts. (Well those people that can be booked these days anyways.) The most affluent areas are not part of the city- they don’t want to pay city taxes or deal with their BS. Who can blame them? But they do have the same idiot DA for the entire county, thanks to PDX voters. I predict it will get far worse before it gets better. There is a lot of talk of the city giving up on having a police agency, and just contracting to the Sheriff’s Office instead (PPB members get absorbed into the S.O.). See then the city council can bitch and moan about how mean and bad the police are, while also saying there is nothing they can do about it, because it isn’t a city department anymore. Brilliant. It actually would be a good thing, except that the S.O. is beholden to the county commissioners (who are only 1% better than the city council members) for funding, so would be more of the same hands tied behind your back policing theory. |

PPB has been bleeding people for a while and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.
The entire city is drive-by territory for me now. It's a cesspool, may as well be San Francisco. |

An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects. A scanning transmission electron microscope has achieved better than 50 pm resolution in annular dark-field imaging mode[1] and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000× whereas most light microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 nm resolution and useful magnifications below 2000×.
If you had one of these electron microscopes you still could not see how little I care. |

Quoted: 100% all of this is to implement a national police force. There are no other reasons for doing this at all... View Quote I think a shit ton of consent decrees will result from this, which gives the feds a degree of control over some local departments. Those are a real fed force multiplier. The central problem is staffing Socialist Paradises. That's where the crisis is and they'll simply lower the hiring standards further and convince themselves that pervasive surveillance gives them "control" over officers. L.E. will look and respond very differently a decade from now. Just part and parcel of living in a city... |
