Portland Says No To Defunding The Police
Primemuscle:
A recent poll of folks in the Portland Metro area shows that 88% what to maintain or increase police funding. Only 15% want say defund them and 3% are undecided. A slightly lower percentage of people in the City of Portland want to maintain or increase police funding.
Surprised anyone? Looks like those of us who live in the 'burbs' have more respect for the police-person's sometimes difficult job. Don't know yet if Measure 3-566 to increase funding for the Clackamas County sheriffs department, which was on the ballot yesterday, passed. Guess it takes awhile to count the vote. LOL!

Doesn't matter how much you fund them if their bosses are enemy sympathizers. The Oregon politicos have already shown who they really side with.

Ted Wheeler is the Portland Police Bureau's commissioner or the top 'boss' of the Portland police. Ted Wheeler was reelected Portland's mayor on November 4, 2020. Portland's Mayoral position has no term limits. Former Mayor, Vera Katz held the position for 10 years. If Ted Wheeler doesn't preform as the people in the city Portland want, he can be voted out at anytime, either in a recall or during a regular election cycle.
This thread is not about whether the police will or will not be defunded; it is only speaks to how people in the Portland Metro area feel about it.

Thus thread is about whatever the fuck we want it to be.

Did I offend you? If so, you should lighten up and check your anger levels. This much hostility over small potatoes can't be good for your health.
Going off topic is par for the course on Getbig. It is one of the downsides of a basically under moderated forum.
How do you feel about defunding the police? Is it a good move or a bad one?
