What Would You Do If You Called 911 And No One Came?

Or if they didn't come for hours? Bloody Portland is struggling to reverse the deadly consequences of its BLM-Antifa agenda, but it's too little and too late, writes journalist Andy Ngo

A lot of places are struggling after 2 years of BLM/Antifa, but Portland may be the worst. "Portland turned over its streets" to the rioters and attacked police and the rule of law, and now that city is reaping the rewards of that policy

Now it's dealing with yet another year of surging murders, shootings, riots, homeless encampments, mass looting and violent criminality.

And it is hurting the taxpayers of the city.

A riot, in which Antifa tried to burn down the county jail, after the Rittenhouse verdict, delayed other response times around the city. And then there is this.

Two days after the riot, a Portland woman called 911 at 3:37 p.m. pleading for help because she was in a hostage situation.

Responding officers were fired upon at the residence in question, forcing them to retreat and call in specialized units.

10 hours after the 911 call, police ended the standoff, but Mariela Gonzalez Rocha was already dead.

Response times are up 60% since before the riots. Low-priority 911 calls are just being ignored. Cops don't have the man power to respond.

The consequences of the political decision-making by Wheeler and those on the city council to defund and demoralize law enforcement after George Floyd's death is clear: more black and brown people are dying—and few are able to get the help they need when they call police.
