Portland Says No To Defunding The Police
« on: May 19, 2021, 01:42:10 PM »
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?

Why should we be surprised? Not everyone in Portland is fucked in the head. Especially those who have businesses

There's nothing more disappointing than small potatoes. The volume to skin ratio is smaller so you're doing more labor peeling for less edible potato.

It seems irresponsible of shops to stock small potatoes. They would have grown if they had just left them in the ground. Fish have a size limit. Why not potatoes?

Yeah, there are some real kooks in Eastern Oregon. For example there was the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. Back in the 80's  Rajneeshees squatted in Eastern Oregon and built the commune city of Rajneeshpuram.

I'd say good riddance except only 5 out of 22 counties voting to secede from Oregon to Idaho, the movement has a long ways to go before that happens. Some counties in Northern California also want to become part of 'greater Idaho'.

You should think about relocating....these are your people, politically speaking. They are very conservative. You'd feel right at home except that the coast in Northern CA, although beautiful, isn't as beach friendly because the ocean is too damn cold up there.

Portland is a mess. Why do they allow the small group of delinquents to overrun their city? Should lay the smack down or hand over the keys like they did last year.

Go read the Portland removing the homeless encampment thread, apparently the homeless huddle around potato fires for warmth (instead of eating the potatoes).

88 + 15 + 3 is more than 100%.  ::)

Do they really need a poll to figure out people don't want a protected class of drug addled piss bum tents on their curb in front of their house with no police?

Portland man who pleaded guilty to setting fire near police precinct gets 5 years in prison

Gavaugh Street-Hillerich, 23, was recorded intentionally setting fire to a large dumpster near the exterior of the police precinct on June 26, 2020.

This dude is getting plenty of time to cool his heels. It's about time someone did something to discourage these idiots.

What this really shows is that liberals don’t even believe their own bullshit.

When push came to shove, they are all spineless cowards who suckle on the government teat.

No sanctuary or defund the police city should receive a cent of federal funding.
