Portland Oregon's murder Rate is up 1,600% as a result of Democrat support of foreign-funded domestic terrorists, the facilitation of mass violence and crime, and defunding the police.
In response to a call for reversing the failed policy of defunding the police, Portland's Democrat Leaders have announced they will fund the hiring of another 24 unarmed PARK RANGERS to combat the massive increase in violence and murder.
These Park Rangers are 'armed' with pepper spray and a radio. Recently 2 patrolling Park Rangers were chased several blocks by a knife-wielding criminal. They are not trained to handle armed incidents like this. Instead they have to run and call the police, as they did in this case. The under-manned police showed up and arrested the knife-wielding criminal.
These Park Rangers have no training, no weapons, and no body armor.
"Park rangers are not sworn law enforcement officers and they are unarmed, but they have the authority to enforce Title 20, which is the City Code related to park rule violations - those range from vandalism to carrying weapons."
Again, 2 Park Rangers were chased several city blocks by a KNIFE-wielding criminal....do you really think they will attempt to step in and disarm a criminal carrying a GUN?
WTF, Portland?!
