Arrests, standoff, deadly crash during crackdown on Portland street takeovers

Portland police are on a mission to stop street racing this weekend with multiple arrests already being made.

They should be able to arrest spectators too. They’re associated with it after all. 😡

"Dont stop, dont call 911" LOL.. the Hogan's heroes Schultz approach "I know nothing". Portland sure seems like such a dumpster fire these days.

Portland used to be a normal city. Now it is something absolutely awful

[chrisgattman]

If the police had done this before speed racers would not be in the news tonight.

90s Portland was cute and all, but the criminal I-5 corridor has always destroyed it.

[michaelwittman]

Portland was once a beautiful place, but I had to move because of what they did to that city. I'll miss you Portland and perhaps when the adults get back in power ill return. Ted, you destroyed a great city along with your cronies and I know you have no shame.

Tens years of lawlessness and then a brutal swing of violent law enforcement. Sounds about right.

I lived in that area in the ‘70’s, it was nice then . I went to high school for my first 2 years at Gresham Union H. S. It was nice too . I don’t know what has happened to Portland, and the rest of the country for that matter, but I don’t like it ! One bit ! It’s past time for the good people in our country to stand up and take it back from the bad people in our country .

50 stops and 11 citations won't even cover all the o.t and extra patrols.

A free bodybag is quite the consolation prize for attendees of the West Coast Invitational😂

[davidramrut]

OH geez, it is a real shame about that pole, hope it wasn't damaged too bad.

[davidorth]

Policeman, don't tell me to Not report a crime. That's not Legal.

[Truckngirl]

If the Portland PD knew better, their impound lot would be brimming with freshly towed street takeover cars. But since crime is so permissible in your state as well as the two above and below you, just go out and make like you care and are doing your job.

[pdxpete]

See this is why this should be illegal, come on Portland be better.

[backtoobasics]

Dont stop, dont call 911. Great advise😂😂

[kbsmorningbowl]

I say it every time I drive in this city, just because you can afford a nice car doesn't mean you know how to drive it. All these speeders are the ones causing congestion every day.

[Darknova]

Remember don't call this street racing cause it's not this is some block party with cars.

[davidorth]

F-that, call 911 and report it. Its your duty as a responsible citizen. Call....
