However, it seems like a coincidence that Portland's recently hired/installed Police Chief, Danielle Outlaw, 41, is an African-American woman and 19-year veteran of the Oakland Police Department. How is the gang situation in Oakland these days?...
Maybe she is trying to bring Oakland CA success to Portland.

| wait.... what???? There is ONLY ONE possible explanation for this, and it isn't one I will explain on a public forum... Even if it WAS something I was willing to do... It would not be in any possible way a replacement for this type of information. This is one of the most foolish things I've seen in a long time....

| The hiring process for the Chief wasn't too smooth either. The mayors job description basically noted what a bunch of racist crackers people in Portland and Oregon historically were, the police union spokesperson (Himself an African-American) took offense and issue with both the description and the search for an outside hire. http://www.oregonlive.com/port..._union_mayor_tr.html Hopefully Chief Outlaw has good managerial skills, if she does, she'll be fine. If not, then it will go shit sideways soon enough once the honeymoon is over. Portland has a history of some total crap Chiefs, so it will be interesting if nothing else. It's off too a fast start: now they no longer have gangs with a mere wave of a pen.  |
