Portland Police Are Purging Their Gang Database Because There Aren’t Enough White Gangs

[Theowl32]

Portland police will no longer maintain a database of suspected gang members, due to concerns that the vast majority of people with the gang label are racial minorities.

Starting Oct. 15, the Portland Police Bureau will end the 20-year practice of issuing gang member designations, which police say can lead to “unintended consequences” and a lifelong stigma even for those who have given up the gang lifestyle. Officials intend to notify the approximately 300 people on the gang list that the bureau will purge all records related to the designations, The Oregonian reported.

“There are still criminal gang members. That doesn’t go away because we don’t have a gang designation,” said Capt. Mike Krantz, according to The Oregonian. “We’re not pretending gang violence doesn’t exist. We’re just taking this one thing away.”

Odd move. How are they going to round up the usual suspects now?

Arbitrarily? No. For good reason? YES. It is still the duty of the police department to protect and serve the public, not play leftie race games.

That's sort of what I was thinking. These people haven't committed crimes, so dissolving this McCarthy-ist list is a good idea. The Daily Caller is blowing this story out of proportion. Tucker Carlson, the editor, is desperately trying to compete against Breitbart. So....consider the source.

Read the article in the Oregonian. These are not people who have been individually arrested or charged with crimes. They are suspected of being affiliated with these gangs.

How stupid of you. Read the fucking article before you post your naivete and prejudice. These are people SUSPECTED of being AFFILIATED with gangs, dumbass.
Law enforcement doesn't arrest a gang, they arrest individuals for crimes suspected of committing.

For all you dumbshits who don't get it:
In America you are innocent until proven guilty by a judge or a jury of your peers.

What are you view of the IRS targeting "patriot" groups because they think they may be up to tax nonsense ?

The IRS isn't in the protection business. Using the IRS as a weapon was an Obama feature of the White House.
