What happens when your police force is overwhelmed?
On Saturday night, a mob of antifa rioters ravaged the Pearl District of Portland, smashing windows and spray-painting anti-police messages on businesses, including a Safeway, a Starbucks, and a Chipotle, among others. Police resources to deal with the riot had been strained by multiple shootings in the city that same evening.
When a police force gets overwhelmed, the logical management technique it to start prioritizing the response. A shooting scene is more important than public disturbance. Especially when the mayor really doesn't want yo to stop the disturbance. The business owners whose businesses were wrecked have soe choices, either rebuild o the location or somewhere else. That is ow cities get "hollowed out", when businesses can' survive in crime-wracked places, they tend to leave. To go somewhere that they are more likely to not be damaged by uncontrolled rioting.
It sounds to me like Portland is becoming a lawless city. I've seen it happen before, and trying to placate the rioters never works. Roof Koreans, anyone?
Put me in a AH-1S Cobra fully loaded. I'll stop the riot rather quickly.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that we haven't already heard about people using deadly force to defend themselves in the Portland area...
ReplyDeleteIf the Libs think this is representative of how Americans elsewhere will respond, they are quite mistaken...
I have the same opinion that Thomas Jefferson had about cities . He said that the larger the city the more degeneracy you would find in that city . He refused to sleep in DC and rode his horse 11 miles each day to and from the Whitehouse to sleep at his farm .
