"GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! 👋 If you hate thinking about the weather, I HAVE GOOD NEWS. Because this week, it's going to be "dry and mild" with a high temperature of around 52 degrees every damn day through the weekend! With everything else in the world going "ker-blooey," at least we can count on Portland weather being delightfully boring. And now, let's read some not-so-boring and occasionally "ker-blooey" NEWS."
"Two Portland Police officers are facing major scrutiny after one was caught on camera repeatedly punching a helpless protester, while yet another was filmed defending the deadly shooting of Renée Nicole Good by ICE agents in Minnesota. (He callously said that "Sometimes criminals get shot... it happens." 👀😡) The officer who made the remarks on camera has since been pulled from protest policing for now and reassigned, while the other officer (the puncher) will undergo a use of force review."
