The City Council should deny the proposed settlement, and instead fire the City Attorney and hire someone who can defend the city and supply the moral, intellectual, and political arguments necessary to [uphold the rule of law in Portland, mitigate the murder epidemic, and restore our City's reputation]. The money from this settlement is not coming out of the police budget, but out of the general fund: the money could be spent on parks and recreation, sanitation and clean water, community development projects, including for predominately black and brown neighborhoods, but instead its going to plaintiff's attorneys and media/tech professionals who show up at riots to profiteer off a "fight club" style news-entertainment, or else to riot themselves. I'm here today because [[http://bastardslivesmatter.org|BastardsLivesMatter.org]] which is [part of] the reason I was present at the unlawful assemblies, which were usually declared around 10 or 11pm, and the riots, usually declared around midnight. Thats when I was tear-gassed, flash-banged, knocked over in bull rushes: all of that. It was a risk I assumed by choosing to [not follow police orders to disperse] but instead to be present in the midst of a riot: I could have sued the city, but didn't [because it would be stealing from the public: I and all these other so-called journalists are liable for our own injuries. | [[https://www.portland.gov/council/documents/ordinance/passed/192025|192025 Pay settlement of Woodstock et al. civil-rights and personal-injury lawsuit in the sum of $938,328 involving the Portland Police Bureau]] | | | [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl64-o5lqFU|Portland City Council 5th March 2:26:58]] ||| Riots are designed to fail, therefore counter-revolutionary, and that's why this protest movement failed - by inciting a crime wave and ensuring that police are still funded at record levels, while people all over the State and the Country are pointing at Portland as an example of why NOT to "Defund the Police".
