Another sign of Portland's insanity: The Chief of Police resigns... because she's white. Mayor pays millions for a week's bereavement leave for city employees.

In the 32 years or so I've lived in this neck of the woods, I've always thought that Portland was, well, strange.

And today takes the cake.

To the list of inanities Portland as reveled into, you can now add that Moron Mayor has decided, out of the kindness of the taxpayer's hearts, to dump millions into the pay of all city employees for "bereavement leave of one week."

And you know it's not coming out of HIS wallet.

On top of that idiocy, the Chief of Police, one Jami Resch, has resigned. 

Because she's white. 

And, on top of that, she recommended her own replacement, who just got the job.... because he's black.

Now, in the process of making him chief (he was a lieutenant) he jumps over a vast number of police officers more senior and, presumably, more qualified.  But also white.  Which clearly makes them UNQUALIFIED.

We're likely not going to notice a great deal of difference in the PPB, since one pathetic social justice warrior appears to have been replaced by an obvious affirmative action hire (One which the city failed to adequately search for) who will, no doubt carry city hall's water like Gunga Din.

Portland has already become one of the, if not THE, most neutered police departments outside of New York, where rumors are flying that the top two officers in NYPD will also be leaving their posts, with their chief only having been there 6 months.

Where's Frank Regan when you need him?

Meanwhile, the rioters infesting Portland for the past several days will expect to have an even clearer field than they've had recently as efforts to handcuff Portland Police by racist bigots on their city council remove their protections and crowd control tools.

There's a reason the Justice Center has been trashed by rioting "protestors," causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages... unnecessarily, I might add, with few to no arrests in sight.

Portland, you've got the government you deserve.  And as for me?

I wouldn't be caught dead in that shit hole.

For a white police chief of a major majority white city to, effectively, fire herself because of her OWN skin color would be funny if it weren't so painfully stupid.

One wonders: as it her OWN genius that thought this up?  Or should we note the stench of Ted Wheeler, running for reelection or one of his lackys who planted that bug in her ear?

Either way, race pandering doesn't solve anything.  As the city of Portland will soon find out.
