The local rag commie commenters are blaming it on republicans not passing the spending bill. Of course.

Binge watching Grimm the past month.

Nick Burkhardt is needed back in Portland. Black Claw is running wild.

In our area (CT) it is routine for cops to do their training years in the big bad city and maybe stay for a while, but eventually they get easy jobs in the relatively crime-free outer suburbs.

I would imagine Portland cops would have resumes out there right now.

I have no doubt that what you say is true. One group among many. I knew about communists/trade unionists but as you sau even more than that.

Still with all that - they purported to solve a problem that they had a hand in creating.

And I think there are parallels to what we are seeing playing out before our eyes now.

Sure real history is always infinitely complicated as your post suggests.

My son wants to join me in LEO, but doesn't want to work in the city we live in (and I can't blame him one bit!)

He's finding it's tough because so many LEOs are leaving the city for a place where there's less crime, more public support, and less hostile oversight.

He and I were in Fargo ND last fall and struck up a conversation with a Fargo LEO. I asked him (the Fargo LEO) if he was constantly filmed whenever he made a traffic stop. He looked at me like I was talking about the price of real estate on the moon and asked for clarification on what exactly I meant.

Nice to know he (my son) and I have one place to re-locate to should our situation here become untenable.

Portland needs to hire Capitol Police officer Lt. Michael Byrd...he shot Ashli Babbitt just for climbing through a window frame...

I love your way of thinking!!!

Unfortunately in this bizarre world, we both know that isn't ever going to happen.

The Nazis were the faction that many Germans felt would end the trouble; they’d show up and tangle with the communists when they were demonstrating/trying to “fundamentally change” Germany.

They did restore order - with a huge price.

I think that many insurance policies do not cover damage from war or civil unrest
