    https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2020/09/intruder-with-knife-boy-being-held-no-portland-police-response-for-1-hour-36-minutes.html

    Henry Kirim had ducked out of his Southeast Portland apartment to search his car for a missing bank card when a strange man rushed into his ground-floor unit, closed the door and locked it.

    Kirim’s 12-year-old son remained inside.

    Kirim fumbled for his house key, thankful he had it on the same ring as his car key, and raced to open his apartment door.

    “I was so scared,” he said.

    The next 10 minutes unfolded in a blur on Aug. 22. The stranger grabbed a kitchen knife. Kirim’s petrified son managed to dart out of the apartment. Kirim followed and started yelling for neighbors to help. When the man eventually fled, several residents gave chase and cornered him nearby.

    It took police more than 90 minutes to arrive. Just before an officer finally appeared, the suspect ran off. More than a half-dozen calls had come into 911 over the course of the bizarre ordeal. But that apparently didn’t speed the response.

    The wait confounded and angered Kirim and his neighbors. They wondered what it would take for police to respond if not an armed man placing a child in jeopardy.

    “Every neighbor here was expecting the police to come. We called about a million times, and the police would not show up,” Kirim said.

    Police conceded the delay was unacceptable. They repeated what they’ve said to address previous criticism for holding back or recent slow response times: Their ranks are strapped by record retirements, covering months of social justice protests and other constraints.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Link to video

      This ad was deemed "Fear mongering" by CNN.

      https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/21/politics/fact-check-trump-ad-biden-police-911/index.html

      President Donald Trump's campaign has released another TV ad that dishonestly tries to raise fears about former Vice President Joe Biden's views on policing.

      The ad released Monday, the latest in a series of similarly fear-mongering ads from the Trump campaign, suggests that a Biden presidency would result in 911 calls from senior citizens going unanswered.

      That is just nonsense.

      Also, notice how the supposed objective "fact-checkers" say "That is just nonsense."

      Keep on CNN'ing, CNN! You're doing great!

        Most media is Biden’s side. Just consider their stuff free advertising for Biden.

          They got the police they wanted.

            What would the polls look like if all the media outlets changed sides?

            Would it be possible to make Joe Biden look like a creepy, lying racist?

              George, I don’t really understand your point. CNN isn’t calling nonsense on the fact that defunding police will reduce service levels, or that some cities have taken defunding steps, rather they are calling nonsense on tying Biden to the policy when he’s been consistently against it.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                CNN has deliberately taken the stance through their reporting that the protests have been peaceful and have highlighted any scrap of unsubstantiated innuendo they could that proclaimed that cops are horrible.

                They aren't the only ones. NBC is horrible, too.

                They now have the police they wanted.

                  I’m not surprised, but that’s totally irrelevant to my point.
