Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

What the absolute fuck. "Doing our job would be too time consuming so fuck that shit."
PPD has been far worse than this without any consequences AFAIK. No surprise they don't want to do anything.
PPB
Portland Police Bepartment
/s <3
Portland Police Bureau
& Defectevie Squad!
Ppd coordinated with aspiring browshirt orgs around 2020. Proud boys, et al, informed them of movements of protesters and the police units.
As reported in propublica, not just in portland either, we have accepted having rw extremists running our pd's in our progressive cities without challenge.
Now it will be tougher to get non corrupt leadership with the feds and party getting involved. Not that there was a reform pd leadership movement yet.
We need non corrupt local officials to get non corrupt pd officials. The one chooses the other and the other can take down those officials 7 ways from sunday with all of their corrupt dealings.
After BLM protests, city voted to defund PPB. They said fine, we're not going to donour jobs then. The city responded by increasing their salaries higher than before. They still don't do their jobs, because why would they?
We've ~~investigated ourselves and~~ found no fault.
Too busy watching Fox propaganda videos at the Krispy Kreme.
