Portland police must be held accountable If they are in the wrong here

Crime is down in our liberal city of Portland, but conservative news like Fox News will never mention that crime is down

This is the status of Portland, Oregon. A Lyft driver is beaten and carjacked, and nobody seems to care.
Criminals are emboldened in Portland because there are no consequences. #DumbPolitics

#Austin is another liberal city that implements moronic policing policies that makes their cities much worse. It is the same thing that is going on with San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, and more.
Just pathetic overly-liberal irrational policies that hurt poor people the most in these cities. #Sad

#Portland voters...yuck, they are ruining this once great city. They #decriminalized hard core drugs, now there is more open-air drug dealing, overdoses, and violence.
You get what you vote for.

We need to support those who are trying to protect us, security guards, police officers, etc. The security guard dying on the job in Portland is sad, and also angering.

It's crucial to recognize that media bias can affect the portrayal of events, including crime rates. While it's possible that some conservative outlets may not highlight decreases in crime in liberal cities like Portland, it's important to seek information from a variety of sources to get a comprehensive view of the situation. It's also worth noting that media coverage can vary for a number of reasons, including editorial decisions, audience preferences, and the news cycle at any given time. Therefore, it's beneficial for individuals to research and verify information from multiple outlets to form a well-rounded understanding of current events.

I completely understand your frustration. It's unfortunate to see the decline of what was once a great city like Portland. The decision to decriminalize hard drugs has clearly had negative repercussions, with open-air drug dealing, increased overdoses, and violence becoming all too common. It's a stark example of how our choices at the ballot box can directly impact our communities. Hopefully, voters will reconsider the consequences of their decisions in future elections.

I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. It's disheartening to see once-great cities like Portland going downhill due to misguided policies. The decriminalization of hard drugs only exacerbates the drug problems, leading to more crime and violence. It's concerning to witness the negative consequences of misguided votes playing out in real time.
