I know you're sarcastic, but what the hell.

There are plenty of incidents in Seattle you might be interested in.

Does anyone know why Oregon has a higher misconduct rate than California and Washington? It goes against my admittedly stereotype of Portland, which I know may not be representative of the entire state. Plus, I understand big/major cities tend to be more progressive and cosmopolitan.

I'm just wondering what is at play in this state.

I live next to the Oregon border in California (along the coast) and our local papers carry stories at least once per month about drastic budget problems north of us.

Our local Sheriff gave a Neighborhood Watch talk and mentioned the drastic down-sizing of law enforcement officers in the Oregon counties adjacent to us as a major concern and a potential source of problems for us.

Far more South than Portland...
