What's he think about shooting naked people with tazers for not putting their pants back on? He talks about all this training, but the problem is that the police get military training. Civilians are not enemy combatants. It's time to rescind the PatRIOT Act, and start profiling Jihadis without the FBI framing them. Local law enforcement has no right to be colluding with the Federal government to infringe the rights of citizens or even tourists. Furthermore, Portland does not need a thousand cops, either. Cut the force in half, at least.

We will try our hardest to optimistic about this new police chief. At the very least its impressive that he wasn't promoted at moment when the PPB was under a crisis and/or scandal

This new police chief is just a skilled politician, who talks out of both sides of his mouth. He supports a big force of Federally militarized civilian police. This wait and see approach inevitably results in justice delayed. Throw the bum out, now.

This phony makes me want to puke.

Let's hear this lap dog plead for withdrawal from JTTF. He will never to it. He likes the military weapons at his disposal, and the Mayor would can his ass if he were to do anything to jeopardize Federal funds being disbursed to Portland, even though it violates the Posse Comitatus Act. He and the Mayor need to be tried for treason.

Maybe Portland could buy back Hilarity's missing MANPADS from al Qaeda?

Better yet, as Portland Police are given military training at Federal expense, send them to Benghazi and have them collect Hilarity's 15,000 missing MANPAD shoulder fired surface to air missile launchers.

Police now receive military training, but the military might not have the detective skills of the police, so the military might be of benefit from sending the police to the so-called, Middle East, to find out which countries all those MANPADs went. They are probably coming across the border in Greyhound Buses with Urdu speaking passengers wearing sombreros. It's time to rescind the PatRIOT Act, and start profiling Jihadis.

Please wait...
