Because:

1) Removal of qualified help that really didn't cost the city money but did help reduce workload.

2) Exceptionally low morale and full knowledge that government officials will hang them out to dry if something goes sideways

3) I suspect that the city council and the rest of the non-uniformed services are very sympathetic to ANTIFA and the officers know that council members are just itching for an excuse to nail them to a cross.

The bottom line is that no matter what, ANTIFA will get to do whatever crime that they want because the city "leadership" and a majority of the population are fellow travelers. If I were the police, I would quit and go work for another department. When the thugs burn the city down, I wouldn't give the city one single bit of state or federal aide.

Sad state of affairs.

Oregon used to have a live and let live attitude, now anyone right of Lenin deserves getting beaten to death.

Goddamn California.
