True to lefty form, Mayor of Portland completely dodges Police Union head’s charge that the city is a cesspool – IOTW Report

True to lefty form, Mayor of Portland completely dodges Police Union head’s charge that the city is a cesspool

Daryl Turner, Portland’s police union head, stated that mayor Ted Wheeler’s policies have turned the city into a cesspool.

He cites feces, needles, aggressive panhandling and overstuffed unsightly RVs lining the streets as contributors to the unlivability of the once vibrant and great city.

Wheeler points out that 53% of the crime in the city is committed by 3% of the population- the homeless.

How did Wheeler respond?

He’s putting together a study of the police department to see why that is. There must be some sort of profiling and bias going on.

UNBELIEVABLE.

OregonLive reports:

“True to form, instead of standing up and leading, Mayor Wheeler has reverted to the, ‘Is there some sort of profiling or implicit bias by the cops’ rhetoric to smokescreen his own failed policies,” the statement says. “Will investigating our officers result in more housing for the homeless? Will it provide more mental health or addiction resources for those in need? Will it resolve the livability issues that Portland residents and business owners face daily? Of course not!”

There is something deeply, deeply wrong with leftists. They are destroying the planet.

  1. OT/ Update on that art gallery with the picture of Trump being beheaded. The took it down, closed up their Gallery. Some are reporting the Gallery is totally empty. They shut their FB page down because of threats. Sniff, to bad.

  2. Stop providing free stuff to the homeless and they’ll leave. Make it hard on them and they’ll leave. If they can’t get their free stuff anywhere they may actually begin to take care of themselves.

  3. Hey That’s why why cops, nationwide ,are “responding and Reporting” and having the detectives investigate.
    Sorry America, not our intent ever! If you don’t understand what I mean then attend college.

  4. I haven’t been to portlandia for over 5 years and that was to meet up with some other IOTW’ers for dinner, but I was ARMED! If I had to go back today, I’d be packin’ some real serious shit…that is if you could even get me to go at all!

  5. Our man DJT backed up today. I’m afraid the vocal minority is getting to him. Shit, it’s getting to me. DJT watches FOX and Friends every morning and that turn coat Brian “I’m a midget” Kilamead was bad mouthing him. We need to start a massive e mail campaign, or something, showing our support.

  6. Tim, can’t find city stats but Oregon is 17.7 per 100,000 while Cali is 13 out of 100,000. 42 percent above national average and 30 something respectively.

    Alaska is number 1 with 21.8 suicides per 100,000

  7. Brad, I saw that too, WTF! Did you see his would, wouldn’t, explanation. It was painful. He needed to be Donald Fucking Trump, dammit!! He had an opportunity to stick it up the asses of all his enemies right there. He should have taken the opportunity to say what this whole Russia collusion story is all about, and go on for about 10 minutes giving us the layman’s version of the story. Instead he folded. I bet he never does that again.

  8. Ya know Joe, I’m wondering how much one man can take without a visible show of support. I’m really thinking the man needs to hear from us. I’m not smart enough to figure out the how. But I do think this guy is our last chance.

  9. @Brad It would be glorious to see the tea party rise again and march into WashingtonDC but this time AntiFa would be there too and regular joes and nice families would get the snot beat out of them. It’d be the spark we all worry about.

    A postcard writing campaign? Send cards to POTUS from all over the country with a short note that says, #MAGA You are a good man DJT!

    Or, send bags of nuts to Congress/Senate. Just like what happened when Jericho was cancelled. Another way to tell POTUS not to give up…surrounded by the swamp.

  10. Trump simply used the Lefts own words against them. By saying he “misspoke”, like many of the crooked Dems have, he’s backed the Media into a corner. They used the term as an excuse to drop whatever it was that was said.
    The Left is going to hate the new rules..

  11. @Brad I’m not sure how to launch a positive postcard campaign. The Dems seem able to whip together a March, rally or protest instantly.

    If we created a hashtag on Twitter it would be known to Lefties and ruined. It would have to travel conservative circles first. Nice thing about postcards-people could be anonymous if they wanted. Maybe an email to Rush tomorrow? I don’t know!?!?
