Im going to guess we disagree about the state of policing, a couple of things you should consider though:

The Oregonian has a pretty obvious slant and bias in related reporting.

Another thing worth considering is “who’s benefiting” from all the reporting about “dirty” “homeless filled” “unsafe” Portland, as generally it’s conservative and pro police organizations that pull it out as a scare tactic to all the people in the suburbs or even more rural areas of the state.
