According to KGW8, Nike proposed two options. The company was open to creating an “intergovernmental agreement” with the city of Portland to directly fund full-time police officers who would be selected to police the store. A second option would be to pay off-duty Portland Police Bureau officers as contracted security.

The letter stated the company was “at a critical juncture” and “it is critical that one of these two models be made effective prior to May 1, 2023.”
So far no agreement.

As the natives go for the bait let loose some big dogs.
This could become a ghetto version of bullfights.
Fun for the whole family!
“...BEGS Portland mayor for police protection to reopen shuttered community store plagued with retail theft..”
Now THAT’S choice! Promote discord and destruction, THEN get the taxpayer to pick up the tab-so you can continue to do business!
An Air Jordan desert.
Give everyone $5 million.
How much money did they give the BLM? Hundred million? Whatever it was. Maybe they can call the local BLM/Antifa chapter and ask for some protection.
