I took a brief look at this story yesterday and it seems that they resigned from the Riot Squad, but not the PD. idk
Portland is a creaking wreckage.
There are cultural schisms in the Pacific nothwest like earthquake fault lines; plenty of old time fishing and logging and farming people around who have been buried under a thunderdome of tech donations to the radical left, all down the narrow corridor of the west coast.
This could be the second coming of Mount St. Helens led by Antifa, instead of lava.
People are not impervious to reality forever. If they are brought to complete ruin by leftist politics, then some will move away from leftist politics. Eventually, enough will for Thermidor to set in.
As in the 1960s and 70s, when proverbially enough liberal intelligentsia had had their typewriters stolen to acknowledge that the crime problem they had denied for so long was actually real.
I have a sister that lives just outside portland and I went to visit her a few weeks ago. Its hilarious seeing how clean and nice Oregon is, until the very second you get to Portland, where everything is covered in graffiti, trash and homeless people literally everywhere, and the occasional completely run down, boarded up building just sitting there.
That's actually half the problem. People in Beaverton or Oregon City are trying to act like Portland doesn't have problems, because it hasn't arrived in their neighborhoods.
You could redraw state lines. One state would be basically be Seattle, Portland, and maybe Eugene. The other would be the rest of Oregon and Washington. However, the balance of power would have to swing substantially toward states (and away from the federal government) to make it more attractive than having four reliably Democrat senators.
It boggles my mind that people would look around and say, "well, I'm a Democrat, and my state is entirely controlled by Democrats, and when I say entirely I mean the fucking dog catcher is a committed Democrat and so is everyone on up to the governor ....and my state sucks! I think I'll move to a Republican state which is clean and safe and sane ...and then vote in some Democrats"
I just literally don't get it. Do you ever meet CA refuges and talk to them? Do you ask them if they have considered the possibility that their political beliefs will turn Idaho into the exact thing they left behind?
They don't make the connection, ever. They think the reason California sucks is because of some vague external force that they can't control, like every leftist "problem". It's never what's actually happening, it's always the invisible hand of white supremacy or systemic racism or global warming or whatever. It's always something that has no form or definition and cannot ever be defeated because it doesn't actually exist, which conveniently gives the left a perpetual reason to seek more power.
I'm almost certain that most of them are not as dumb as we thought.
It's just they are the "plausible" excuse for the demofascists to stuff ballots and use dominion to flip elections with.
Isn't it unusual how the state flipped blue, we ask? No, no, no say the demofascists, you just got a ton of california migrants! (actual election results are a much bigger swing than that with other discrepancies, but the migrants get the blame not the cheaters.)
Portland gets what it deserves. Cant wait for them to blame it on "muh white supremacist terrorist trump supporters" as antifags burn their news stations to the ground.
Interesting to notice how they haven't resigned when they were obviously used as a political weapon - only when one of them had his mob immunity revoked.

That's what I gathered too. The headline is a bit over-the top.

Greater Idaho when?

I mean it's not an unreasonable argument in california that the states problems are because of the massive tech / rich influx.
But then you go over to Portland, and they don't teally have an excuse.

Bret Weinstein needs to get out of Portland ASAP, lest the freaks go after him.
Real life Arkham City here we come!

Would’ve been much more effective a year ago.

Crazy city.
Good. Hope the entirety of Portland gets the torch, it's what they deserve.
