Seattle Batcrappery Is Bad Enough, And Now Portland Is Making Taxpayers Pay For Oppression Leave For Employees

This is completely out of control, and now more than ever I think we should be seriously considering splitting up this country into two parts – one part for the lawless anarchist idiots, and one part for the rest of normal people.

Portland’s mayor obviously fits into the former category, because according to this, he just announced that city employees will be given a full week of bereavement leave to “mourn the 400 years of slavery and oppression of African-Americans in the US” and this leave will be uncontested, no questions asked, if you’re a city employee you get a week off to mourn slavery which no longer exists.

This is an Actual Thing, y’all.  And I know Portland is mostly filled with leftist weirdos who probably think this is great, but I feel really sorry for the normal, hard-working taxpayers of that city who are going to continue to work every day, and who will FOOT THE BILL for city employees to take the week off to grieve about slavery which ended 155 years ago.

Here’s mayor Ted Wheeler’s email to the City:

Colleagues:

As a nation and as a City we continue to grieve the recent loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, and others in the country and in our community. We acknowledge that Black employees are experiencing a collective grief and trauma coming from a culmination of oppression that is over 400 years old.

We hear and understand that many of our employees, especially our BiPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) employees, are deeply impacted by these recent events and are hurting.

I want to give our employees space to grieve and reflect: 40 hours of bereavement leave as allowed under HRAR (Human Resources Administrative Rules) 6.03.

I am directing managers and supervisors to approve the leave without question.

I am hopeful that other employers in our community will do likewise.

We’re witnessing a dramatic shift in our nation, one that is urgently charting the path forward for restorative justice, inclusion and understanding. I feel tremendous responsibility, as well as tremendous privilege, to be a part of this historic movement. Thank you for walking that path with me as we continue to serve the City of Portland.

Sincerely,

Ted

And while anarchy is being praised by Seattle’s mayor (she’s calling the CHAZ occupiers “patriots!”), Portland’s Chief of Police has resigned because of the lack of support from city law makers. The cries to defund and dismantle police departments is happening, y’all.  If it doesn’t happen by hostile takeovers like in CHAZ, it’ll happen the way that this 27 year police veteran describes it.  Check this out. 

Here is an excerpt from that powerful essay:

I wouldn’t wish this job on my worst enemy. I would never send anyone I cared about into the hell that this profession has become.

It’s the only job you can do everything right and lose everything.

It’s the only job where the same citizens you risk your life for hate you for it.

It’s the only segment left in society where it’s cool to discriminate and judge, just because of the uniform you wear.

You never get to explain.

You can never reason with them.

The nasty words have now turned into rocks and bottles and gunfire.

I’ve watched it happen to those around me and I have seen the total destruction of their life.

This job is a walking a time bomb and you could get cancelled or prosecuted on the very next call, even if you do everything right.

No profession has to deal with that.

Doctors kill 250,000 people a year. They call them “medical mistakes” because society understands that they do a very difficult job under high stress and they must make the best possible decision in the moment.

Law enforcement is tasked with the same and we are highly successful. Despite the most violent society we have ever seen, less than 1,000 suspects are killed a year. 96% are attacking us with weapons and all but a few others are attacking us with their cars or their fists and more and more with simulated guns so Benjamin Crump can help their family win the lottery.

I’ve seen cops risk their own lives when they shouldn’t have…….just to keep from taking one.

They never get the credit that other professions get.

Cowards are all around us. From chiefs to sheriffs to politicians, no one has our back.

Now, the little we have, we are told they are going to defund us or even abolish us. Citizens with a political agenda will reign over us and all you have to do is wake up and put on a uniform to be a racist.

This weekend I received death threats for just doing my job. It would have been outrageous a decade ago and made national news.

Now, it’s just a Monday.

There will be more threats, more accusations of racism and more lies told about us.

I used to talk cops out of leaving the job. Now I’m encouraging them.

It’s over America. You finally did it.

You aren’t going to have to abolish the police, we won’t be around for it.

And while I know, most Americans still appreciate us, it’s not enough and the risk is too high. Those of you that say thank you or buy the occasional meal, it means everything.

But those of you that were silent while the slow turning of the knives in our backs happened by thugs and cowards, this is on you.

Your belief in hashtags and memes over the truth has and will create an environment in your community that you will never expect.

If you think Minneapolis will turn into Mogadishu and that is far from you, it’s coming.

And when it does, remember what your complicity did.

This is the America that you made.

These AOC inspired Leftist anarchists and Antifa members and other domestic terrorists are destroying our country, city by city. This is why elections are so important, and why it’s critical that idiots like the Seattle mayor be voted out. And it’s why opposition voices are so important. I’m tired of getting emails that say, “Here are my thoughts but I want to stay anonymous.” NO. It’s time to do your part, be loud about it, and fight back with all your might.
