Intruder with knife, boy being held: No Portland police response for 1 hour, 36 minutes

[libertylover]

When seconds count the police in Portland are only 96 minutes away.

It really astonishes me that people can’t see the consequences of stupid notions like defund the police (and pretend homosexuality is normal).

When seconds count, the police are only 1 hour and 36 minutes away!!

"And in this particular case, police were responding at the same time to a tactical call in East Precinct that required a special team and also were monitoring what turned out to be a violent clash between dueling protesters in downtown as well as preparing for another nightly protest..."

All those peaceful protests sure do take a toll on the available police

[PAR35]

Reminds me of the old joke about police not responding when the burglar was being held by the homeowner.

Call 911 and get no meaninful update on progress.

Fire three shots in the ground.

Tell them there’s no rush on the cops, but please notify the coroner.

Get immediate police response.

Screw the social workers. Send a single sniper with carte blanche and instructions to snuff the perp.

>>Send in a social worker along with someone from Child Protective Services. Make popcorn.<<

I think s’mores are in order!

Black man + knife+ police = race riot.

And the police, with a minor procedural slip-up, go to prison for years.

“ Maybe they can overwhelm the guy with the knife.”

More likely jawbone him to death with evaluations of his privilege, why he’s causing trouble, getting in touch with his feelings, and then letting him shout numerous unhinged epithets about the police, Trump, white people, and statues.

The guy’s lucky the intruder didn’t declare the apartment an Autonomous Zone. It would’ve taken weeks to get him out.

I wonder when the dude was let out of jail because of Covid, has some interesting ink.

[a fool in paradise]

Send in CPS, armed with a tablet computer.

[Vendome]

Is that still a crime?

If it is, it’s heinously medieval...

[old curmudgeon]

SWhat kind of person would say that?

[Paleo Pete]

Set up a PA system outside and play “Baby Shark” at high volume on an endless loop.

I’d last about 4 minutes...

COME GET ME!!
