Portland Police collects 1/4 of a billion dollars every year.
For that:
They don't respond to 911 calls:
They don't do traffic enforcement:
They don't have a gang/gun violence taskforce:
Even the bike theft team is gone (after having one of their own bikes stolen).
So what are they doing with 1/4 billion a year?

It sounds like they're already on strike. Doesn't leave much room for negotiation.
