After Defunding Police, Portland To Give Firefighters Bulletproof Vests
After slashing the police budget by $15 million last year in response to the 'defund the police' movement, Portland is now giving its firefighters bulletproof vests as violent crime surges in the Democratic stronghold.
According to Portland Fire & Rescue, the decision was the result of a "changing landscape" which includes more calls involving 'aggressive patients and bystanders.'
According to Oregon Live, many details surrounding the vests are still unclear - including when the vests will be worn (on top of the 45 lbs of gear they're already wearing), how many will be purchased, and when they will become available.
"We always will do anything and everything to keep firefighters safe because that’s what keeps people in Portland safe," said Isaac McLennan, vice president of the Portland Fire Fighters’ Association, who added that the decision is fully supported by the firefighters union.
Firefighters have been more concerned for their safety because of responders being attacked or stabbed in Oregon and other parts of the country, McLennan said.
McLennan referenced a 2018 fire in Springfield where a man started shooting at firefighters responding to a house fire. Police said authorities believed the man intentionally set the 4 a.m. blaze to ambush emergency responders.
No one was seriously injured, but the attack left fire truck windshields riddled with bullet holes. -Oregon Live

just lol at the news saying they're wearing 45 lbs of gear to the stuff they get called out for. That's maybe 1% of all their calls. The other 99% are overdoses and "altered state of mind" calls that cops don't want to deal with.

What is the appeal of living in a place like Portland?
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.
