The police have been successfully defunded in the city of Portland, Oregon but the need for security has only increased as a result, now private security forces roam the streets.
Portland is facing extreme amounts of violence and business are now opting to hire armed security forces to patrol the streets around their stores.
From The Daily Wire:
Armed private security forces, hired by local businesses, are now patrolling Portland, Oregon’s, downtown to keep the peace amid a crime spree, following a Portland city government decision to slash police funding by $16 million.
According to local news sources, Portland, like most major cities, is suffering from a spike in crime. “Homicides in Portland increased from 28 in 2019 to 54 in 2020. Among cities similar in size to Portland, Seattle saw an increase from 34 to 53 homicides, in Minneapolis, a spike from 48 to 82, and Milwaukee saw homicides increase from 97 to 190 from 2019 to 2020, ” KGW reported earlier this summer.
Portland, the outlet added, is likely on track to see around a hundred homicides this year.
The city is also still reeling from an extended spate of demonstrations — a 100-day streak of protests that caused an estimated $23 million in damages, $2 million in damages to federal buildings in downtown Portland alone.
Sanders/Soros solders are in a move. Great.
But everything was ” mostly peaceful” those fires weren’t real fires…and they were not Looting they were borrowing that is the story of the lame stream media anyway
And (1) Police or (2) Private security… GUESS which one is more expensive…You guessed it! Wonder if the poor devils are even allowed to shoot?
You voted your leaders in portland, suck it up it’s your fault!
Hitler has been reincarnated and has a stronghold in Portland
Another example of what happens when voters elect spineless liberal politicians with no leadership skills.
Hilarious!!!
Portland is the best example I can think of good Amerikan democrat political leadership!!!
And this is what you get with democrap city
How to destroy your city, let your politicians allow criminals to run wild. You elected them!
IF YOUR MAYOR IS BLUE…YOUR CITY IS POO !
The best thing to do is shut the businesses down and go elsewhere. And if you don’t want your city to look like Portland, don’t vote blue.
