I think I remember the same statistic about how many were actually not from Portland. I also remember reading a piece that said while PPD claims their budget was severely slashed over the years it was actually the opposite, but wasn’t able to find another story for confirmation. I did not see the interview about them lessening coverage, but I had suspected they would do something like that 😒
I think society still needs some type of police force but would agree these clowns need to go and someone more competent needs to be there.
Doesn’t surprise me whatsoever. Policing on trimet seems to be non existent and it’s been known as the crime train for quite some time. Portland police have an entire division dedicated to transit police but seems like they don’t do much after 5pm.
