[News] The USA Police State will never satisfy its lust for beating, gassing, and imprisoning minorities

Bill DiBlasio takes exception to this.
But not as hard as Kate Brown does. Our lovely governor has just (within the last hour or so) announced a new "Law Enforcement Strategy to End the Violence in Portland." I'm not kidding, that's what she called it. So what she's going to do is, she's going to send the OSP in to reinforce the PPB again. She's also calling for representatives from Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, and Gresham Police Department to reinforce the PPB. Additionally, contrary to his plans, the Multnomah County District Attorney WILL prosecute all violent crimes including arson and assault, and all prisoners booked for those crimes WILL be held until such time as they can be tried for their offenses, and the MCSO WILL work to ensure that there is PLENTY of space to house these prisoners. Also, the FBI and US Attorney WILL provide all available assistance in the effort to prosecute these prisoners.
Now, the PPB is the most violent and one of the most racist police departments in the country. It's been shown over and over again. They just are. MCSO and CCSO are almost as bad - last night's Patriot Rally wasn't supposed to be allowed into downtown, but the CCSO specifically blocked traffic for them and directed them straight through the middle of the DT core. Their rally wasn't permitted, but they'd had a bunch of discussions about it and had agreements in place. They committed multiple assaults on people with both their bodies and their vehicles. They fired the first shots multiple times, and they left one of their men dead on the street. They were then escorted safely from the city, AGAIN, after which riot cops came out and brutalized protesters and press, AGAIN.
And the governor's and mayor's responses are to send in more troops that aren't bound by any of the TROs preventing them from outright assault of protesters, press, and legal observers alike; and to coordinate with Trump to silence dissent against the government.

So many fucking boot lickers.
Eight members of the press.
Nine members of the press and a medic.
Defund the police through costly lawsuits.
All members of the press were immediately released - not even booked - because they didn't do anything illegal. Why do people keep pretending that anything other than violent reprisal is going to happen on a nightly basis? Why aren't you wearing armor and de-arresting your comrades like you're supposed to?! You're just standing there and getting beaten and arrested. The people whose minds were going to be changed by seeing that already have, and if they haven't there are 95 days worth of archival footage now. Please, just stop showing up in shorts and t-shirts.
Edit: Correction. One of the members of the press was immediately released without booking. The rest are still being held on interfering with a peace officer charges.

As a resident of the Town of Tonawanda...no? I really don't want this? What the fuck is going on?
What, you don't think cops getting blowjobs in return for "good" policing is a great idea that could never lead to horrible abuses of power?
Sheesh!
Hopefully the tune of "RE: Brains",
I'm half-tempted to go to that town meeting but I suspect the people pushing the "cops can get blowjobs" crowd has a lot of overlap with the "corona is fake and masks are like a bad version of Hitler" crowd.
Look, cops will be cops, and you can't just punish them when they break the laws, because then they might strike or something...
Of course that doesn't mean you can just let them extra free time, so yeah, obviously they'lll need to be finished in 15 min and not take their next 15 min break... because sexual abuse is one thing, but time thefts is a real crime.
C'mon... film it for us.
As a resident of this planet...how was this even allowed to be entered into the public record?

So, if I'm understanding that article correctly, a PSD (not an actual cop) was having an affair with a married woman during working hours, and her husband found out and alerted the department, and PSD-boy was fired because they have a rule you can't have sexual relations during working hours. But now a vocal minority want to change it so cops can have sex, oh, I'm sorry, "receive physical gratitude" while on the clock? First off, I'm pretty sure you can get fired from almost any job if you're not following the rules of your job WHILE you're being paid to do it. And secondly, as others as pointed out, how stupid do you have to be to think this won't be abused AGAINST women before the ink is dry?
The source is a fake news site - I hesitate to call it "satire" like the Onion, as it deliberately doesn't indicate that it is not legit, unlike the Onion.
Though given 2020 insanity, probably this will inspire some tiny, insane groups of Karens to propose similar actual legislation in their own towns (the Rule 34 of "life imitating stupidity"?)
I’m having a super difficult time following this. As in, this can’t be serious. There must be a joke in here, right?

Is it? The other headlines seen pretty mundane...
I don't get the impression that they - or more accurately he (as there only is one listed person associated with the site, one Matthew Ricchiazzi, who is ostensibly the publisher, and no authors/official sources are listed on any of their articles or on their "contacts" page) - writes articles specifically for satire/humor, but rather "embellishes" factual stories, perhaps hoping for increased traffic/ad revenue? So not quite the Onion, but more akin to The Enquirer or The Sun?
Both with this article and multiple others on their site, there is exactly zero corroboration of the story from any other sources at all; instead, all other google hits pull copy or link directly to the original article.
Most damningly, large swaths of copy in the "Chronicle" article (detailing points of the dispatcher's employment and other relatively boring facts) are stolen wholesale from this article from an actual news source, the Buffalo News (which has been a paper since 1873, so that's at least a bit more reputable...though the Buffalo News article fails to mention the Karen brigade, sadly). Ah, plagiarism - the founding principle of the best fake news!
So it seems like a tabloid-esque scenario - believable and salacious story built around a core of truth, but the "interesting" part appears to be made out of whole cloth.
ETA if the wikipedia article on fake news sites wasn't your cup of tea, here are other options

So, a member of the independent media in Portland went swimming in the Willamette. Here's his personal anecdote.
Blast. Sure thing. He went swimming with a friend of his, who hasn't had to deal with spotting for quite some time, and since they went swimming, she has started spotting again. Additionally, there were two kids swimming hear them that asked their mother why the "spicy water made their eyes burn."
Joint Statement from a bunch of cops in our state:
"Preventative Detention and Prosecution."
"Must be publicly voiced support for Law Enforcement."
So, either the governor of our state agrees to allow the police to make "preventative arrests," and agrees to "publicly praise them for their wonderful work," or they won't do shit. Which is, of course, bullshit, since the Sheriff's office and State PD were involved with the PPB last night when they arrested 9 members of the press (and released one).

They've haven't learned that other police forces have made this threat and backed down when people realized things were fine when they stopped?
No, they're setting the state for no state agency to be willing to enter downtown Portland so they have no choice but to call on the feds, since all of the local LEOs are too worried for their safety from the dangerous people violently *checks notes* singing "Hey hey, Ho ho, Tear Gas Ted has got to go."
