Survey: Regardless of your politics, Portland wants more cops
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A new survey of Portland voters shows residents are feeling less safe about the city, know more police are needed but want the police bureau to be reformed and well-trained, not defunded.
That’s the overview from the survey by the GS Strategy Group conducted for the group People of Portland. Between September 22-27, 2021, the survey polled 600 likely voters in the city of Portland.

I feel unsafe because of dishonest police and increase in crime. We need more honest honorable police.
The current leadership will not take the required action. Mayor, commissioners, DA, judges (and perhaps governor) all need to go, otherwise the required action will not be taken.
Then the problem is that the pool of viable candidates (Democrats only) will have the same impotence. Portland has painted itself into a corner.
Now, think about this. It’s all because of one man. What do you think is going to happen when the pendulum swings in 2024 unless Portland gets a grip?
