Nike Permanently Closes Portland Factory Store Over ‘Theft And Safety Issues,’ Business Group Says

Who would have guessed? Just another casualty to liberal stupidity. -- https://www.dailywire.com/news/nike-permanently-closes-portland-factory-store-over-theft-and-safety-issues-business-group-says?%3Futm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=062316-podcast&utm_campaign=andrewklavan  But after Portland defunded its police department in 2020, local business owners affected by the crime and property destruction struggled to maintain safety and security. Nike officials reportedly closed the store down more than six months ago before finalizing plans to close and vacate permanently. Earlier this year, Nike requested that city officials provide off-duty police officers for security purposes at the company’s store in northeast Portland, but Mayor Ted Wheeler reportedly declined, citing a staffing shortage from the Portland Police Bureau.

Portland didn't defund its police, that store was slated to be closed anyway, and municipal police aren't supposed to act as private security guards.

So...bullshit.

 Another lie from Lewis -----https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/portland-mayor-police-support-crime-hike/283-a94173a2-b33f-4efa-a534-c3d47bd85d2d#:~:text=We're%20asking%20way%20too,calling%20to%20defund%20the%20police.-From the article--- The approach is a departure from the Summer of 2020. That's when Portland City Council voted to approve cutting $15 million from the police bureau, eliminating 84 sworn staff positions. The cuts came amid racial justice protests calling to defund the police.

The store was never projected to close - another Kevin lue as he pretends there isn't any crime in Portland 

As importantly, Portland pussified the police department and prosecutors department.  The proof is in the pudding....it tastes like shit.

Nike temporarily closed the "Flagship" store several years ago, stating crime and theft.  The crime and theft in the area continued leading to this announcement of a permanent closing

...again stating crime and theft.

Yep, the policies that Kevin 💘 so much have killed the Golden Goose

  Nice job!

Unlike our resident conservitards, I live in Portland. They post from their mommies' basements in Bumfuck, Texas and pretend they know what's happening in a city that's far, far too good for them.

LOL!

The truth hurts doesn't it?

Or in Boilerman's Red State bastion of Indiana?

Its happening everywhere and has nothing to do with which party is running the police department.      But cherry picking news stories to make a bullshit point is fun isnt it?
