Law Officer: No candidates have been identified in the mayor’s national search for a Portland police chief. No interviews have been conducted or finalists selected.
But already Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and the head of the Portland police union are trading barbs, and it’s over the wording of the job description for the top cop’s job.
After the job description was posted on a city website Monday, Officer Daryl Turner, president of the Portland Police Association, issued a lengthy statement Tuesday night, decrying the mayor’s reference to the state’s and the city’s history of “systemic racism.”
The job description prominently points out that Portland has a history of “legally sanctioned systemic racism with legally enforced exclusionary practices.” It said that the successful candidate must have the “capacity and commitment” to improve relationships with members of minority communities, “ensuring that equity is a bedrock of policing.” more here
Portland, the reddened and rubbed raw anus of Oregon, puts SF CA. to shame, a most unsavory political clime indeed. One cannot shout LEECH INFESTED DUNG HEAP loud or long enough to adequately describe it.
I understand Anthony Batts might be available. He did a truly noteworthy job in Baltimore.
Hope the Police Union kicks this limp wristed fairy’s ass. Why would anyone want to be a Portland Policeman? The mayor and the air headed faggots on the city council are against them. So is the media. The city is controlled by democrats and they are not going to support a cop. Guaran-damn-tee you who ever gets the Police Chief’s job is going to be Affirmative Action, very controversial, and a complete loser running from problems the media are going to hide, and in the end, a complete disaster. There is going to be a bad case of buyer’s remorse. Police morale, as low as it is already, will crash.
It’s Portland; so the next police chief needs to be either a lesbian, a gay man, a black democrat, or an illegal alien.
You couldn’t pay me to live in Portland. Come to think of it, you couldn’t pay me to live in Oregon.
