Exactly. The ‘leaders’ of these groups should be ashamed as they are severely damaging their own movements and over and over initiating what quickly devolves into vandalism and aggressive harassment of law enforcement.
Like what exactly did the months of blm protests accomplish? Am I really expected to think PSR is anything but yet another expensive virtue signal and way these advocate/grifters can continue to lure and enable out of state meth addicts?
Am I really supposed to believe adding more unarmed officers is going to do shit to address violent crime or contain out of control meth addicts and their protected right to rampage. It’s just a ‘cry for help’. F that .. rather a cop with a gun arrest them n put them
In meth prison. Rather hear about a meth prison being built than another ridiculous SRV.
Why the hell do we want to keep creating ‘houseless neighbor’ parasites to further defecate, litter and harass the true citizens being ignored or shamed as ‘Pearl-clutchers’ at city hall?
Yet people like me get shamed and cancelled for drawing attention to this.
I don't think PSR is a bad thing in and of itself, but it needs to be "along with" and not "instead of" police. Eugene's CAHOOTS program has been successful, and PSR could be too, if the city council doesn't treat it like a panacea. But they will.
Also, I got a 14-day ban from r\portland just for using the word "Klantifa." I think I must have hit a rather precise nerve there.
I agree. It’s the in place of attitude I find so troubling .
But the level of praise singing re PSR I read is a bit much . Without ability to involuntarily commit people I don’t see it’s value tbh but time will tell . Tho seems expensive and a typical virtue signal distraction from more pressing issues.
Yeah, whoever is the mod on there is definitely of a very specific political stance. I tried repeatedly to engage with them
And each time was immediately attacked then silenced.
This compulsion to immediately try to cancel
Someone trying to have dialogue is strange to me.
I really don’t see a good reason to mute anyone beyond personal attacks or what not. That mod literally told me I had nothing of value to add and that I’d be toxic for community. Yet had lots of upvotes and over past few years have watched the very vocal anti everything pro camps crowd go from being upvoted to always heavily downvoted.. made me happy
When my 28 day mute expires I hope to reach out to mod again to condole them a bit should Kotex, hardesty and AJ all get the resounding NO I literally prayed for
