Some members of the Portland City Council have put forth a proposal aimed at combatting gun violence in the city and it does not include increased funding for police. The proposal, which KOIN 6 News obtained Thursday from the office of Commissioner Carmen Rubio, is in response to a $2 million proposal floated by Mayor Ted Wheeler for the Portland Police Bureau’s Enhanced Community Safety Team.
“When the Mayor brought forward his proposal, he also offered space for feedback and collaboration around that proposal,” Rubio’s office said in a statement. “At this point, the question is not what proposal is supported and which is opposed, but rather what elements everyone can support. With those in mind, we’re working together to develop a proposal that disrupts cycles of gun violence, and results in real systems change. We look forward to sharing a cohesive proposal once one exists.”

The unreality just got more real (sic). Politicians humored the worst scum among the populace by slashing police and now can only "reimagine", "rethink" the impossibly bad war zone that results in the formerly idyllic PNW show community.
Are they afraid they'd get murdered for bringing back street cops?
