Portland mayor issues state of emergency over gun violence

[buckeyedarren]

Start prosecuting all crimes. Small crimes lead to bigger ones.

Defunding the police and publicly berating/throwing them under the bus for just doing their job seems to really be working out for you PDX. Couple that with, open air drug markets, homelessness, and decriminalization of most misdemeanor crimes within the city really have turned Portland into a model for the rest of the country. Unfortunately, it is a model of what not to do…

Its 2022 and the media still cant say rosecityantifa

You’re a great actor Ted … 2.4 million dollars which will go into the pockets of crooks. “We have to develop a strategy….yada yada…..”
That strategy is called put criminals in jail and throw away the key.

There not stopping anything anytime soon and its not gonna slow down

[johnnybgood]

Not sure why this video came up as I’m English but I do know about the defund the police. You choose these people to run your town then you deserve the results.

How is Ted still mayor after Summer of 2020 still baffles me🤔 worst mayor in history of 🌹city

[WorksopGimp]

Guns for everyone then, to protect yourselves from the gun violencers

Portland has become the meme city of the US. What a joke.

[chuckruckus]

Went up 600% so a reduction of 10% was actually 60% from 2019. So I did 60%!

Will it be as successful s his emergency declaration on homelessness? Hmmm same mayor who got rid of the gang violence prevention unit so I won’t hold my breath.

[synjinkai]

13 percenters costing this country a lot of money

[draperone]

Strange because he was down there with them (antifa) cutting the fence

[karenparker]

I wouldn’t do that job for any amount!

[jamesmathers]

Was Royal on the toilet??? And I hope the people doing the survey are armed

[rayjenkins]

so he is giving himself emergency powers over his failure as a leader. Seems to me that he IS the emergency

[joelramos]

neighborhood security.. $5 -$10 each home
I'd pay it.

[kayakdan]

First action should be for Ted to step down and let a law and order person to step in. Community based "intevention" has the bad guys laughing and making things worse. Minneapolis has tried the same thing and gun crime is up 300%. How bad can it get in Portland...they are going to find out under his leadership. Vote Republican when the choice is there...your life will eventually depend on it...unfortunately.

[tylersmith-bcji]

At its core. So they’re finally going to take care of all the homeless????
