Oregon Public Broadcasting observed that flashpoint for contention was Portland’s Gun Violence Reduction Team (GVRT), which was disbanded in early July amid claims that it “disproportionately targeted people of color.”


Maybe because people of color disproportionately targeted other people of color in these shootings

Nah, that can’t be it. They need to do more to catch up to ‘groot’s’ chiraq.

Has to be all of those rural rednecks in their white pickup trucks cruising through Portland shooting unarmed and helpless social justice protestors. It just has to be. /s

Most liberals In a couple of decades, if left alone to their chosen life styles, will have destroyed themselves and their DNA via their abortions, drug abuse, homo sexual life styles, sex changes, both DNA wise and soul wise due to their stupid and terminal life choices.

The Democratic Party has been rapidly morphing into the CCP/DCP/DonnerCrat Party on a daily basis.

Twenty years ago Portland was a lot better.

“will have destroyed themselves and their DNA via their abortions”

That’s why they changed from being staunchly anti-immigration to rabidly pro-immigration of any sort, legal or illegal.

They aborted themselves out of existence. While Evangelicals were having 4-8 kids per family - an American norm - they were having one or zero. Mostly the latter.

Without a massive group of desperately poor Mexicans and other assorted Central and South Americans (but mostly Mexicans), no Democrat could win an election that was run legitimately. But they solved that problem too...we don’t have legitimate elections anymore.

Baltimore City has not had fewer than 300 homicides since the Freddy Gray incident in 2015. The police backed off. It’s a harbinger of things to come around the country.

Not just Portland:

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — In the 11 months of 2020, shootings in New York City have surged to levels unseen in years,

CHICAGO: Homicides are up 52% in Chicago amid COVID-19, with majority involving people of color

LOS ANGELES: Murders in Los Angeles increased by 20% in 2020 ... July had the most murders in at least a decade with 40 reported homicides, a 48% increase

PHILADELPHIA: among top deadliest cities in U.S. this year: Experts also say protests against police are contributing to a sharp rise in violent crimes.

WASHINGTON DC: District records more homicides so far this year than in all of 2019

I thought all those social workers were supposed to put a stop to this. Whatever happened?
