Portland 8 Councilors Ban Police From Unmasking Criminals

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Portland's city council just made it harder to identify criminals — on purpose. Eight councilors voted to prohibit police from removing masks during encounters, handing anonymity to anyone who wants to hide their face from law enforcement. No dissent. No debate worth noting. Just a supermajority committed to making Portland's streets more dangerous in the name of protest rights.This is the same city that spent years watching masked rioters torch businesses and assault officers. Now the council has essentially codified that mask as a legal shield. The message to Portland residents is clear: the people you elected aren't interested in accountability — yours or the criminals'.Sean breaks down the vote, the council members behind it, and what this signals for public safety in a city that still hasn't recovered from its last round of anti-police ideology.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily Pacific Northwest news commentary that doesn't pretend this stuff is normal.#Portland #LawAndOrder #PoliceReformGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
