 We have a ton of problems with our police down here too, and I guess they just finally have come to a decision about the mentally ill homeless man that was beaten to death by police for no real reason. Here's the link to the most recent developments that came about today.

 How can this be in the "best interests of our city and our community" if we have murderers running around enforcing laws? And what the fuck do you mean?  "it is my hope that by settling this case, we as a community can to begin to heal from the death of Mr.Chasse." We can start healing when people stop being killed by the damn police!

Fuck you Dan Saltzman, don't fucking beat yourself up over it or anything though... you're supposed to be against police violence against mentally ill people.

We had a cop kill somebody up here...about 3 days later he was found dead floating on an ice lock by the film crew to Deadliest Catch...you guys should do some more of that down there in the land of ports

It's the fuckin' way she goes...Cops get away with murder, literally. Do you have a link to the original story?

And Duke_Silver, is that for real?

Portland police scare the fucking shit out of me. I've seen things and heard stories that make me NEVER want to confront them again.

I can't find the link to the original story but this should give you all the info you need.

The PPD just seems to run around doing whatever the fuck they see fit.
Some cops might actually be trying to change their behavior though. A car/foot chase ended in my front yard a while back, and when the cop went to take the dude that was running out, his partner was shouting at him to be careful as to how he took the guy down, and I made sure the cop saw me too. Regardless, it was weird and the cops can't be trusted.

Don't recall where I heard it, but apparently James Chasse was the inspiration for the Wipers song "Alien Boy"
