Portland police morale ‘as bad as it’s ever been’ | The Story with Dan Haggerty

As Portland faces a huge spike in gun violence, the agency in charge of investigating those crimes is dealing with a major staff shortage and looming budget cuts. Since July 2020, the Portland Police Bureau has lost 129 sworn members. NBC News reporter Gabe Gutierrez came to Portland to talk to police about morale following a challenging year. He shared why they chose to spotlight Portland for this story and what they heard from officers.

    Just looking at one aspect, the city leadership did not seem to understand their decision-making was ruled by time and much of that time seem wasted on inhouse fighting while many police, near retirement or even middle aged could not withstand the much younger midnight protesters, night after night, relentless as fast moving water. The protester did not have to 'win' all they had to do was outlast the police, and by the amount of police leaving the force, they did. Decisions had to be made fast, be effective, and in one voice and Portland's leadership failed to do that. Whatever Portland becomes, it can never be what it once was.

    Of course cops are painted with a broad brush, I don’t know anyone that knows police officers well enough to see anything more than a badge and gun. Then when we see cops are never held accountable, unless you have the MOST damning evidence EVER, we hold ALL cops accountable(as well as the system) Anyone here want to start a business and tell all those employees, who you REALLY don’t know deep down, that they’ll have qualified immunity? That they can do whatever they want, make mistakes, but it won’t matter. NO business owner would do that. The reason, cops know the city pays for police lawsuits, not them. So why should they care. It may have been good back when evidence lacked(didn’t even have DNA evidence) to make sure cops weren’t wrongly charged by actual butthurt criminals. Now, the evidence shows, through cameras EVERYWHERE, that the cops have been infiltrated by too many bad cops while the good cops have to go with it or pay the price of “BROTHERHOOD RETALIATION” by those bad cops that aren’t being held accountable. Now it’s gone WAY too far and now those bad cops hiring bad cops and now we are seeing how much they will abuse their powers. Too many people go into becoming a police officer, to then be forced into a type of “gang” they wanted to fight against. BOTTOM LINE, like ANY owner of a business would say, without accountability you create chaos. The police force, mostly the government, now has to work hard in helping the good cops weed out all the corrupted cops that are too far gone.

    If theres any real women left and you care about your children. Time to defund family court and file for 50/50 physical joint custody. This disfunction is the product of single motherhood. These kids need a balance. These gang members have the seeds of hate in them that was planted by their mothers towards their fathers and men. Thats why its so easy to lash out and destroy what looks like them. If you do your research they mostly all have the same thing in common. And these mothers are never held responsible or accountable for anything.

    I’ll have to assume here that you’re reccomending a more progressive leadership due to the fact that Democrats aren’t doing enough in the realm of gun control. I agree! That’s why you’re commenting on this video, right? You don’t want to see more dead kids, I’m guessing? If you want to see less violence in Portland, there’s no way you’d be encouraging that they get a conservative mayor 😂 I trust that you’re simply praising the Republican leadership of the 1980s… a movement which I’m sure you’re aware was comprised of a bunch of men who, despite being members of the NRA, advocated for strict control of weapons & would absolutely roll over in their graves if they saw what their progeny had become by 2022. No? You just clicked on this video so you could go to the comment section & complain about liberals? Well f*** me, if that’s not a surprise I don’t know what is 🙄

The victim, 45-year-old Raja McCallister, was shot and killed last Wednesday in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood, police said in a statement. With 2023 still three weeks away, the number of homicides in Portland this year has matched the record-breaking total of 90 in 2021. The city is also recording far more homicides than other major west coast cities. San Francisco Police Department recorded 51 homicides in total through early December, while Seattle police reported 46 homicides through October. Sacramento police told KOIN 6 News that they’ve had 54 homicides this year to date and San Diego police say they’ve had 49 homicides in 2022.
