Oh, so now we're arguing that Portland is too busy to enforce it's laws, got it. Doesn't that kinda run counter to Governor Kotek's narrative that the city is safe and totally peaceful? If that were true then why can't Portland spare a couple of cops to defend 1 lousy city block?

It's a free country, so you don't ever get to be completely free of protests if people want to protest what you're doing.

I get to be free of harassment, violent threats, bottle of piss thrown at me, rocks lobbed in my direction and other things. I also have freedom of movement and no one is allowed to hold me in one location against my will.

He didn't do much in 2020 during the Floyd protests, because there wasn't much he could do.

DeSantis got the laws changed so that he could do something...because he cares about public safety. Kotek cares about making political points to her base.
