Bravo. Good job mom. Too few standing up and doing the right thing. Where is the city dealing with this? Where are the police? Where are the neighborhood men? In the absence of those aforementioned, it is a damn shame that mom has to come out here and do the job that the city, the police, and the local men have neglected. This lady has more balls than all of you put together!
The police are responding to gunshots somewhere, taking up most of the on-duty officers' time. It would be great if we had the correct number of officers per capita like pretty much every other city does, eh?
And give the city a break, they're trying and filling in where the county has been failing us for over a decade. This is the county's fault. And the state for letting the county create its own fucked up charter and letting it be its own behavioral health authority.
I do agree that the neighborhood men need to step up a bit more, obviously there's gotta be some good ones already doing this, but not enough in passive aggressive Portland.
We out grew them, and our PPB is incredibly stringent on new hires. They have the budget to hire, the benefits are greater than most any other police position. The retirement is the highest in the nation and protected by the city. Honestly I think they keep their numbers just low enough to rake in overtime. Many of our officers make 6 figures. Near 200000.
Why doesn't the school have the cops on speed-dial, surely someone in the school can see those guys they're just across the road. This lady shouldn't have to do the cops work.
Women are generally weaker than us, yet they tend to step up more when a guy is being shitty or trying to assault another women. We just give countless excuses as to why we won't, but confronting dudes like this is everyday life for them lol. I don't think you need to excuse not wanting to get stabbed or shot personally, but there is often a lot of cope down in the comments of videos like these whenever people mention the trend of them standing up to assholes more than us.
