The rumor is that the guy had a knife. But if he had been committing a serious crime, or truly dangerous, I suspect we would have heard about it by now. Sounds like yet another stinker. Go by hearse!
Has anyone asked what Rosie is doing in England? Is she there at taxpayer expense? Is this a wise use of funds when about 20% of Portlanders are unemployed, underemployed, or working fewer hours than required to adequately feed themselves and their families?

wasn't Rosie "out of town" when the copsters killed Aaron Campbell, and wasn't she also "out of town" when her presence was wanted at City Council when they initially brought up the issue of "changes" at PPB, and now is once again "out of town" when another fellow citizen is offed by the trigger-happy Testosterone Tommies at PPB. For someone who was slatted to retire/resign within 6 months ago (and that was told 3 months ago) one has to wonder WHAT is it that keeps this woman on the run...hop- ping from city to city till her time as Chief runs out and then she can finally hop out the door one final time? You don't think she's vacationing and traveling about on our dime to escape the unraveling of her misadministration of the PPB do ya? hmmmm!

What a pathetic creature - he looks like one of those sorry dirtbags who prints out computer porn at the public library. (If you are sitting next to the group printer & see some printing out, just ask loudly "Whose Porn on printer No. x? Your order's ready!" It gets a fun reaction all around!
British practice relies mainly on gunless police, backed up when needed by units intensively trained not only in marksmanship but in how to discriminate among dangerous criminals, deranged people and lads larking with an air pistol. Scotland Yard now has some 1,750 officers authorized to use firearms out of a total of about 26,000, less than half of those authorized 20 years ago. The shrinkage is due to a policy of investing more training in officers allowed to pull the trigger, after a spate of incidents in which cops shot innocent people.

So now internal affairs is allowing the union to prep cops before they give details ... loverly. The faster the feds start investigating the PoPo the better.

Is Rosie-fingered Sizer still out-of-town?
Posted by Gardiner Menefree | March 22, 2010 7:28 PM
A little early to be jumping to conclusions in my opinion. I'll say from experience though that Hoyt can have some crazies hanging around.

It's important not to jump to conclusions and, for the record, I love streetcars, but "Go by hearse" is fricking funny.

"Poor Dan Saltzman"?
A guy gets killed and that's your headline?
Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?
Posted by Gil Johnson | March 22, 2010 8:41 PM
Based on what KGW reported at 6 p.m., it appears that no details would be released until the police union's rep arrived at the scene, and had a chance to evaluate the situation.

wasn't Rosie "out of town" when the copsters killed Aaron Campbell, and wasn't she also "out of town" when her presence was wanted at City Council when they initially brought up the issue of "changes" at PPB, and now is once again "out of town" when another fellow citizen is offed by the trigger-happy Testosterone Tommies at PPB. For someone who was slatted to retire/resign within 6 months ago (and that was told 3 months ago) one has to wonder WHAT is it that keeps this woman on the run...hop- ping from city to city till her time as Chief runs out and then she can finally hop out the door one final time? You don't think she's vacationing and traveling about on our dime to escape the unraveling of her misadministration of the PPB do ya? hmmmm!

Could Sizer be looking into the feasibility of disarming PPB ala London bobbies? One could hope.

Investigators on Monday night said they wanted to talk to witnesses who left the scene before they could be questioned by police.

Careful people, Randy setting up something, he's being waaaaaaaaaaay too quiet.
Saltzman doesn't have a clue about what he is doing. Of course, besides streetcars, condos and bike lanes neither does the rest of City Council.
