You got what you deserve for voting Democrat, Portlanders. Enjoy your body count.


According to The Oregonian, starting in the late spring, the riot-gripped city has faced a sharp increase in 911 calls placed on hold for two minutes or longer.

The national standard for 911 hold times is 15 to 20 seconds, but according to data from the Portland Bureau of Emergency Communications obtained by The Oregonian, 574 of the 911 calls in the city had to wait on hold for more than five minutes in July. This number is more than double that of May, in which 221 calls waited that long, and is drastically more than the figure in March, when only eight 911 calls took more than five minutes to answer.

Bob Cozzie, director of Portland’s Bureau of Emergency Communications, said, “I think it’s horrible. There’s no other way to state it,” in regards to the dramatic jump in wait times. “We’re at a tipping point now. It’s become unmanageable,” he said, acknowledging the delay. “The system is broken.”

All very depressing...even though the article doesn't say that the problems are because of de-funding.

To be fair, most 911 calls are a complete waste of time. From complaints of noisy neighbors to long-winded rants about the unfairness of restraining orders, 911 operators put up with a lot of trivial nonsense in between actual emergencies.

They like it like that....that's why they vote Communist!

Let them be happy in their own way.

LMAO! To be fair. Sorry murder victim we didn’t have the resources to come help you.

Is it your intention to be a gun salesman? You’re doing a fine job of it.

Why? Would you like to buy some?

I have plenty. Actually maybe a couple more I’d like but not the point. You are doing a far better job of creating more gun owners with this kind of crap than you think. If 911 becomes worthless and the defunding of the police is a thing. You had better buy a gun, or stay on hold for 15 minutes. Which choice has a better marketing plan.

True. That’s why I prefer a Glock and a backhoe.

Why would any one live there voluntarily?

They voted for this. That’s why. This is what their goal was.

Then they should reap the benefits!

 

[Missouri_Mike]

I agree. They don’t deserve any sympathy. The smart ones that got out voted better arm up and prepare. This is the new normal under democrat rule.

Look up Stockholm syndrome.
