Oregon's largest newspaper, The Oregonian, has published a mea culpa over their previous endorsement of defunding the police, after 266 shootings and 25 homicides in the first quarter of 2021. In fact, in a Monday article from the paper's editorial board, they heaped praise on the city's gun violence reduction team and defended the mayor's recent proposal to restart the 'canceled' unit after a spate of violence ensued.
The paper then slams the city council for ignoring the "reality of the threat" that removing cops from enforcement jobs has had on the city, saying that a proposal by commissioners to hand $3.5 million to unspecified community groups reflects a "startling lack of seriousness, if not outright naivete," which "fails to show the urgency or understanding of the scope of this crisis."
