Antifa-Controlled Portland Police Bureau Faces Mass 'Exodus' As 50+ Officers Quit Over Insane and Dangerous Far Left Policies


As Portland trends further and further from Democrat to Marxist, the rank-and-file officers of the Portland Police Bureau have been put in the unenviable position of being ordered by the mayor to cater to the far left protesters and rioters like Antifa.
At the same time the officers also face a more and more irate public, angry at the police bureau's propensity for ceding the city to the protesters on a regular basis.

The latest shocker? The city council is consulting with a Baltimore based Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson to strategize over how the next police contract should be written.

Staff for Portland Commissioners Jo Ann Hardesty and Chloe Eudaly met Thursday with national Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson to strategize over the city labor contract with the Portland police officers' union, an official in Hardesty's office said.

Mckesson, 33, met with the officials as part of his work managing Campaign Zero, a group that reviews police union contracts nationwide and points out what it says are policies that shield officers from accountability for misconduct.

The official in Hardesty's office said Mckesson gave "a detailed presentation about policing, contracts, accountability and their relationship to violence."

Also present at the meeting were members of the Albina Ministerial Alliance Coalition for Justice and Police Reform, a faith-based group seeking greater police oversight.

Baltimore-based Mckesson wears many hats: Civil rights activist, author, podcast host and one-time mayoral candidate, among other work. He was in Portland on Wednesday for a taping of his podcast, Pod Save the People, for which Hardesty was a guest. Hardesty's office asked him to extend his trip to give a briefing on the police contract, the official said.

Mckesson tweeted his take on Thursday's meeting to his more than 1 million Twitter followers, saying he led a talk with "activists and advocates" to "discuss avenues for structural change."

This has all culminated in what one inside source calls an "exodus" of officers who are retiring early, transferring to a different agency, or otherwise leaving the bureau.

Another anonymous source, who happens to be a former Portland police officer, tells The Gateway Pundit that he knows of about 50 officers who are retiring within the next month.

It's a damn shame what the liberals are doing to that beautiful city of Portland.. I remember years ago when I drove OTR and use to stop at Jubitz Truck Stop for the weekend.

I thought Portland was supposed to be all laid back and weird.  Why are leftists so violent?

Yep, I remember back in the 60s when the "So Called" Libertarians were abandoning the Bay Area for freedom. This is the end result of true Libertarianism.

There are more than 38,500 farms in Oregon but most of the people are in big cities.  I know two farm boys down in Eastern Oregon that there driveways are over 10 miles long.

Well 50+ are going out the door.  I am sure when they retire they will move out of Portland also.

Oh what tales and secrets these 50 will expose......

How pissed are some of the older guys?  They thought they'd be a cop in Portland, which shouldn't be that hard.... worse thing is someone lost a sandal in the river, or someone lost their hackeysack in the water drain.  They'll retire... live on the outskirts, do some fishing... maybe start a brewery....

Instead they're placed in the middle of AntiFa riots and told to sit there and take it.

True...
Yeah, here I was having a quiet afternoon harassing two little girls for selling lemonade against the Mayors orders rules for not purchasing a $200.0 business license, when I get a call that evil Conservatives were breaking peaceful ANTIFA knuckles with their faces.

What's sad is, many of the cops staying behind sympathize with the Marxists. Portland, like so many small Western towns of the 50s are fighting for last place among the likes of Chicago big city crime.
The left destroys everything it touches, Everything..
