Background. Portland is just a little bit of a power keg recently, we have all seen the news feeds. And, there is a year long pandemic that has many without work. And, we just had the worst power outage in Oregon history.
So when a local grocery story tosses a few tons of food after their power goes out, the locals do what they do: dumpster dive.
And the store calls the cops.
And the cops show up in force.
This just seems like error on top of error to me. What could have been a
PR win, turns into a
PR debacle.
