In other words, he wants to become a dictator? No details in the article but it doesn’t sound good.
PPB is basically a white nationalist network operating with state funding. To the point where they were looking to bring back retirees because they couldn't find officers not associated with white nationalists. Could be.
From what I understand, the big drag on hiring is pot use. You can't access federal law enforcement systems as "an illicit drug user" and as far as the feds are concerned, it doesn't matter that it's legal in Oregon.
