I think Sam should take away the police department and give it to Randy for this.
The only person on the council who demonstrates any type of spine whatsoever is Randy, and he's a petty belligerent.
I can't believe so many people in Portland seem proud of our government. We've managed to elect five people to City Council and not one of them is actually a "leader" worth the term.
You mean like the investigation they did that said the officers did nothing wrong when they beat James Chasse to death?
It wasn't just the Police Bureau that reached the conclusion that officers did not "beat James Chasse to death." It was also the DA's office and the coroner.
My suggestion is pretty simple. Shouldn't the facts, not pre-determined opinions and agendas, rule the day? Perhaps more significantly, if we can't afford cops due process, how do we expect them to respect the due process rights of others?
The reason for civilian oversight of police is to occasionally step in and say "hey, maybe that was fine according to regulations, but it was still a pretty messed up thing to do."
Out of the craft cocktail bars and into the streets!
Out of the Mommy & Me playgroups and into the streets!
Apparently this applies to city commissioners as well as common citizens. At least we're even-handed about it.
I'm not sure how you define "beating someone to death," but I feel like hitting someone in such a way that their injuries cause them to die should count.
can ANYONE in the city nut up and take the police by the leash?
where is Randy Leonard on this?
yet further proof that Sam is not up to the job of mayor, and Dan Saltzman is not up to the job of police commissioner.
we have just seen the end of Sam as mayor and Saltzman as a commissioner.
In closing I'll add Punk-Ass Bitch to "spineless pussy"!!!!
The people that work at places like Albertina Kerr that deal with children of all ages with behavior disorders have to deal with girls and boys of this age and many have the same temperament if not worse as this girl.
If they so much as leave a bruise on a minor they can lose their jobs and could possibly be sued. Three adult male cops can tackle a minor and shoot her with a beanbag gun and if you think that's ok you're sick.
It's no wonder the PPD feels like it can do what ever it wants - can't really blame them when the mayor gets away with admittedly lying to get elected and is not held to the city code of ethics as other city employees are.
- Desk Job - Yard job, Union Job or No job ...what we are now hearing sounds like: - bean bagging teenagers in Portland "is acceptable procedure"
