Many Portland, Oregon Police officers and supervisors left the state’s largest police force over the last year by taking early retirement or by quitting, according to The Oregonian.
City employees who turned in their badges or retired were brutally honest about their reasons for getting out. "The community shows zero support. The city council are raging idiots, in addition to being stupid. Additionally, the mayor and council ignore facts on crime and policing in favor of radical leftist and anarchists’ fantasy. What’s worse is ppb command (Lt. and above) is arrogantly incompetent and cowardly," one retiring detective wrote, reports the Washington Examiner.

Blue Bloods is indeed more fantastical than Game of Thrones.
I have been waiting for this to happen. Minneapolis, Seattle, San Francisco, Baltimore, NYC and others to follow.

That sounds about right for liberal-run cities.
Already happening in NYC. And didn’t they just pass something about cops can be sued. So they are on their own.
In another time, Ted Wheeler would have been tarred and feathered, at the least.
What Portland needs is the invincible Dirty Harry to clear the streets of punks and to slap some sense into those raging idiots (who are also stupid) downtown.
We are slowly returning to the law of the jungle in urban areas which may really be what Holder’s People want. They are big, mean and can dominate in that environment.
Send the punks to the homes of the city council members that protect them.
Has any taxpaying Portland resident spoken out against Antifa and the Mayor/city council?
Let it burn.

Yup—you do not want to be a cop in a Democratic controlled city if the thugs don’t get the lynching they want.
There are some 800 cops in Portland or were last year. Since July some 115 have retired or resigned to work elsewhere.
The story in the newspaper which was subscriber-exclusive online included a picture of a billboard put up in Portland advertising 40 police officer jobs for the Spokane County Washington Sheriff’s Department.
Good.
Dirty Harry would be sent to prison. And so will any citizens thinking about doing anything about this mess.
Portland voted for this, over and over again.
Seattle had a bunch of cops quit - including the Chief.
It worked out “well” for the City Council though. Now they don’t have to figure out where the cuts would be made when they defunded the police.
Seattle is now a city with tons of homeless people, graffiti and boarded up windows on empty businesses.
This will upset many FReepers that have the opinion that all cops are bad.
Honestly, what Portland needs is for the ENTIRE force to go on strike, and whatever happens, happens. Think “The Purge”.
