Democrats’ “defund the police” movement leaves Portland in ruins

The Washington Post is out with a damning new report looking at what happens when liberals in Portland got their way and defunded the police.

The results?

Shootings have more than doubled, the city has a major shortage of police officers, the police budget has been cut by $27 million and Portland is in disarray.

“Portland’s once-vibrant downtown, the heart of a world-class food scene, is still marred by boarded-up windows and closed businesses, the aftermath of a year of pandemic and fear of random assault and vandalism often committed under the name of the police reform movement.”

Despite these warning signs, Oregon Democrats Peter DeFazio and Kurt Schrader refuse to defend police or condemn the violent radicals destroying Portland.
