Portland's street takeover exposes the absurd reality of defunded police departments – officers forced to 'monitor' illegal activity from a block away while hundreds of idiots spin donuts in the middle of a public street. Watch as businesses owners express their 'concern' (shocker!) while the same city that slashed police budgets now wonders why officers can't magically control 300 lawbreakers with just a handful of patrol cars. This $90 million experiment in 'progressive' policing has resulted in exactly what critics predicted: chaos on the streets with zero consequences.

Is anyone surprised that the same politicians who championed police defunding now offer empty 'solutions' like updating towing policies they can't even enforce? How many more neighborhoods need to be terrorized before basic public safety becomes a priority again?
