Whoever is running PBOT is an idiot. And so is the one in charge of the PPB (cough cough mayor).

A city manager can't come fast enough. They'd better get the sweeps going hard and fast.

PPB is basically a white nationalist network operating with state funding. To the point where they were looking to bring back retirees because they couldn't find officers not associated with white nationalists. Could be.
