In the elite Left's fantasy utopia, things are getting worse for human beings.
Civilian police funding has been slashed by more than $25 million since George Floyd’s murder, and some 150 officers have resigned or retired since June 2020, said Daryl Turner, executive director of the Portland Police Association.
That includes 50 officers who served on a crowd-control unit. Mr. Lovell said the on day of the riot police responded to a fatal crash, a shooting that injured five people, and street racing that shut down the Fremont Bridge, among other crimes. Portland has seen 61 homicides this year, up from 32 in all of 2019.
“We are trying our best,” Police Chief Chuck Lovell added, describing how “our critical staffing shortage, as well as legal restrictions, impacts our response.”
