What gives you the impression that he was a Washington resident?
Just more guessing. The police attempted to take him into custody at an apartment complex and they had good information that he would be there. The most likely way would be if it were an address of record.
But even if he was a resident of Oregon he would still have had to have a permit to carry a weapon in Portland.
Well, it was not his address of record. That much has been said in the news stories, which also refer to him as “a Portland man”.
You don’t have to listen to an hour, just ten minutes and three seconds. I gave the time stamps: 18:52 - 28:55.
This Rochester killing, like that of George Floyd, looks indefensible. 
The police are not properly trained in dealing with people that have mental issues and should not be the call of first resort if a person is behaving oddly.
God damn, this runs right through the tape of “totalitarian” and gets to “dystopian.” Actual quote:
"Rodgers and his team would show up at people’s homes just to make them uncomfortable, he said. They didn’t always log the contacts in the agency’s official records. He recalled parking five patrol cars outside one target’s home all night and visiting some as many as six times in a single day.
They would do the same to targets’ friends, relatives and other “associates,” he said."
The top comment said that the white guy in the car hadn’t been arrested, so that was the difference. But the actual difference is that he wasn’t arrested.
ETA: Apologies. That was about the video of the white guy who cursed out a cop while the cop had his gun raised. I clicked on reply, and couldn’t see any other way to reply to that specific post.
An old story but there’s a reason I’m posting it.
That same Popeyes is currently the target of a BLM protest because another guard maced and forcibly detained a woman working for UberEats. Saturday night, she allegedly used the wrong door when picking up an order; I can’t find anything online.
And now for something from our Hong Kong bureau…
Yep, that’s the one.
The complete headline is: ‘He’s a small child’: Utah police shot a 13-year-old autistic boy after his mother called 911 for help
Some interesting (and frankly, disheartening) responses in the comments section. One in particular struck me:
“Never, never ever call the cops on a member of your family, unless you want that person dead.”
In case anyone has questions, that’s exactly what is meant by “defund the police”.
School calls police on a boy playing with a toy gun in his own home while socially distancing during online schooling, then suspends him from school.
Black Student Suspended For Waving Toy Gun In Virtual Class?
Fucking hell.
I don’t disagree that a classroom is not a gun show.
But that deserves a mention to the parents, not a suspension and intervention from police.
Those were Nerf guns, not even Airsoft guns. Could he show off his water pistols?
I pretty sure the kids have to remain clothed…
Schools are, in fact, imposing their at-school dress codes on students doing remote learning from home.
