Surprise..Another Liberal city where the Defund the Police Movement is working wonderfully.
Quote:
In the past 10 months, the department has experienced a rapid turnover on its police force and has its lowest staffing levels in decades. Many of the officers who have left cited low morale and burnout from nightly racial justice protests that ended in confrontation and plumes of teargas.
The city was roiled by protests against police brutality and racial injustice for months following the murder of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis who died after a White officer held a knee to his neck.
In the wake of sustained protests and calls to defund the police last summer, Portland's City Commission cut some funding and disbanded the gun violence reduction unit.
Who would have thought that disbanding the gun violence reduction unit would cause more gun crimes..
