Let this be a lesson to Portland that prompt independent investigations and accountability of the police are crucial. If you let the police police themselves you're only encouraging tyranny and injustice. This article scapegoats one cop but the whole system failed. news.wttw.com/2026/10/01/c...

Excellent reality check. I think it's legit to argue that having the Blazers here has real cultural and vibes value (the Oregonian editorial board did just this), but the fiscal case is marginal at best.

Would Portland be Better Off Financially Without the Blazers?

Empty arena? Lost revenue? Not so fast.

Not liking police is a solid opinion and one I endorse Green on. PPA is insane to think cop hating is a disqualification these days.

This is one of the most insane news segments I’ve ever seen. Hey this incredible hero dog died this is terrible day for the police — we’re not going to tell you who shot the dog — also a human was shot and killed but we’re not saying by who but the police say he’s violent. Also cops on admin leave

In anticipation of the next few days I want to make it clear that the ICE Permit revocation issue is a land use question which means that city councilors will be operating in a quasi judicial manner when it gets to us after the investigation. We can be exempt from voting on it if we r deemed biased.

If police and prisons stopped crime, the United States, which has the largest, most militarized, and most expensive police force and prison system in the history of the world (seriously, our police forces are larger than most militaries), would have no crime. Defund the police.

Clark County Deputy Fisk did some get-to-know-you questions. Fisk would rather tackle a suspect than do paperwork. He would rather do a high speed chase than dance at an event. Hurting people and endangering others is just so much more fun than behaving like a responsible caring adult. #honesty

In light of the Utah 50501 stuff, I just think that if your first thought when a cop opens their mouth isn't "they are lying," you might be a racist and a collaborator. Don't trust orgs who are chummy with cops.

Stop interviewing Aaron Schmautz, he’s not the chief - he’s the PPA. He’s not in charge… unless he really is and the chief has no say. But whatever weird power dynamic they have internally - police do not stop crime. If that were true, we’d see no crime in cities that have the ratio. This is bs.
