Color me Shocked. Where are the Cops? Frustrated Portland residents say police have ‘almost disappeared’
I'm surprised that there are any cops left in Portland after the past few years.
Violent crime surged 38% in Portland between 2020 and 2021, according to FBI data, outpacing the rest of the country. Property crimes like car theft and vandalism also increased from 2020 to 2021, Portland Police Bureau data show.
Guzman's customers tell her they're frightened by people trespassing on their property and even stealing items, often while high on drugs.
Between "cops are the enemy" and "defund the police," not to mention the rest of the insanity of the past 3 years, I'm shocked that there are any cops in Portland at all. If it weren't for the structure of pensions, I doubt that there would be any cops in Portland.
And people in Portland are high on drugs? Weren't they decriminalized, or was that only in California? What did you think would happen when you made drugs legal?
911 response time has risen from about 9 minutes in 2019 to over 20 minutes in 2022. Didn't the people of Portland want fewer police?
Staffing is also a huge concern for PPB. A spokesperson told Fox News the bureau has lost 250 officers over the past two years due to resignations and retirements.
There you go; they got fewer police. Did they think that fewer police would have no impact on policing?
Hat tip to James Woods.
Does #DefundThePolice ring a bell?
