99% of everywhere is boring neoliberal nothingness, including Portland, which makes everything in this subforum inconsequential. But relative to the other inane shit we discuss here, Portland rioters are as meaningful as the rest.

This week the police dept I work at is getting new in-car cameras and now all officers will have body cams. So now I have to support 17 total in cars cams and 40+ body cams. (I’m in IT)
Thanks protestors!
(Just kidding. This upgrade has been planned since last year. These can do a lot more than our old stuff)

The chart in this article is a great tool for showing why reallocating police budgets may not be such a big deal.
Also, Portland is awesome.

So cops only respond to violent crimes and the rest is handled by social workers or whatever you would choose to label them? Guess you need to hire a bunch more staff then?

Calls for service do not include time spent investigating after an incident; training sessions; administrative duties; and off-duty employment. As such, they are not a perfect encapsulation of how police officers spend all their time, but they do provide a good representation of how police departments interact with the public.

I was just suggesting that maybe posting something that says what those are percentages of would help people decide if it's worth clicking.

Speaking for myself, I had no idea that cops sometimes spend their time doing administrative work and have no inference skills of my own. Thank you for your service.

Derek Chauvin, who murdered a man for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill, appears to have been stealing thousands of dollars from the United States.

At least they have a charge that might stick if he gets acquitted for killing Floyd.

I didn’t see him on the live feed again after that.

if one guy smashing windows at autozone counts as the 'worst post-floyd violence in Minnesota' then MN should be pretty happy about where they stand at this point compared to a couple months ago

It's hilarious that they think he instigated all or even any of the violence. It's as if they think no one was watching it unfold live. You'd have to be utterly brain dead to buy this shit.
