News Cops Out on Alberta for Last Thursday

Posted by Matt Davis on Thu, May 31 at 4:02 PM

The cops plan to be out in force tonight on Alberta following last month’s last Thursday ridiculousness on the part of one drunk reveler, who reportedly picked up an officer’s Tazer from the ground, then got pissy when the Officer “over-reacted” by pulling his gun. From PIO Brian Schmautz:

Later this afternoon, Northeast Precinct officers along with representatives from OLCC and PDOT will be out on foot patrol in the area of Last Thursday on Northeast Alberta Street. Emphasis will be placed on alcohol problems, graffiti, and pedestrian/vehicle problems.

And please, nobody try to grab anybody’s Tazer, okay?

Uh-oh! This sounds like an overtime boondoggle...a contrived "crisis" so as to
lamely justify overtime pay. Once again,
Portland's WE THE PEOPLE are ask to bend over for a financial-screwing. Are we just going to take it, or scream out heads
off and call it what it is...a screwing?

Wow, someone actually asked me a few days ago if I thought the cops would be out in force at Last Thursday, given the last dust-up. I said, "Ha, probably not. They know it was a totally overblown situation, and sending more cops out would only add fuel to a fire that doesn't need to exist."

I guess that's what I get for talking out of my ass.

I hope someone takes a Taser to one of the goons from the OLCC SS...

Cops. Guns. Tasers. I love 'em.

Now if they could just pick off a few graffiti "artists" in SE PDX.

Chop!
