It doesn't help that Portland de-funded the gang enforcement team a while ago. It also doesn't help that some are agitating to abolish the police entirely.
Now Portland is making a big deal of getting FBI and state help to deal with this growing problem.
Yes, it's an anecdote, but you can find many similar anecdotes from all around the country.
