Portland 911

Just a little snippit from an article. This is the world when you defund law enforcement.

“People calling 911 to report a Sept. 4 shootout at a Pearl District restaurant and other emergencies in the following half-hour waited an average of more than 7.5 minutes before a dispatcher answered,” the Oregonian reported. “The lengthy hold time is far above the national standard of 15 to 20 seconds for 911 calls and the latest example of serious problems plaguing the city’s emergency dispatch system.”

I really hope this can be fixed and not spread all over the nation. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to fix it.

Depends, what you want to call him. It could take a minute to say all names he deserves.
