in response to strong community concerns about the labels that have disproportionately affected minorities.

For the LOVE!

[Dave911]

Problem solved. Just call it something else. No more gangs who’d have thunk it?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Let’s all wear blindfolds so we don’t ever see any crime........../s

[posterchild]

Why can’t they just send a letter periodically like the Social Security Admin used to do to show employment history?

‘Dear Sir/Madam, Our records show you registered as a member of the following gangs....’

If the person is no longer a member of any gang they can be taken off the list.

[alternatives?]

Why didn’t they start calling them clubs?

That is the typical progressive way, just change the name.

[Navy Patriot]

Portland police to halt, purge all gang designations

Including the Liberal Socialist DemoRat Gang they work for??

[Oatka]

A rose by any other name . . . (Some old white guy).

[tumblindice]

Isn’t Portlandia magistrate Monica Herranz’s stomping grounds?

[5th MEB]

Does that include the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, Hells Angels, and the Bandidos?

[DoughtyOne]

Please, it’s so unfair to stigmatize gang members? /s

Well then why not quit referencing murderers, rapists, pedophiles, armed robbers, street thugs, burglars, bank robbers, car thieves...

What this does is make it look as if the worst thing you can do is stigmatize. Being a gang member that preys on others, doesn’t even compare.

You know folks, there has to be a “stupid pill” out there, and I think the Left is overdosing.

More Orwellian tactics. If something is true but the powers that be do not like the answer, simply stop telling the truth.

Seems more crap comes out of Portland than just about any city in the USA. They’re a delusional bunch.

They’re almost 80% white and they think they understand racial issues better than anyone else. I’ve got some tickets to the ghetto if any of these clowns want to understand diversity a little better.

I believe their “white guilt” and “white privilege” feelings are from feelings of thinking they’re superior.

“We will no longer designate gang members as “gang members” because it might imply that gang members are a part of a gang. “

[BenLurkin]

So a program which protected businesses from criminal applicants was a success.

[JimRed]

Stop designating them; start SHOOTING them!

[fuzzthatwuz]

This stupid attempt at being liberally correct is going to make the jail classification process a challenge. Watch the law suits generate when members of certain social groups are housed together in the same unit.

[blueplum]

Let’s pretend gangs don’t exist! Yeah, that’s the ticket! It’s a perfect world again.

[Architect of Avalon]

Diversity Is Our Strength.

However, if diversity manifests as violent criminal gangs, erase the records.

The important thing is to keep the image alive.

[Fungi]

It's really easy, even monkeys can do it. .

[Gritty]

This idiocy isn’t “mildly amusing” any more. It is downright dangerous.
