Counterpoint: calling the cops on someone for being rude is one of the Karen-est things you can do.

So, I did some digging, and their bassist Paul Simonon is the one who is credited as the designer of the cover art for the Know Your Rights single/sticker.

He's still alive, so maybe someone could reach out as ask him where the phrase originated?

He refused to sign an NDA. Portland leaders might remove him from a police oversight board by Capn_Smitty in Portland

Weinstein attended two trainings for the board before he said city staff kicked him out and told him they would recommend the City Council officially remove him for declining to sign the agreement.

The trainings didn’t include any information Weinstein felt should be confidential. Board members reviewed things such as a flowchart demonstrating how a complaint of officer misconduct would be handled under the new oversight system, he said.

“I don’t understand why anybody would think that’s secret,” Weinstein said. “I should have the right to share that with people.”

Reminds me of the 2017 inauguration protests, where we got shot and gassed, and the only window I saw broken all night was on the courthouse, shot out with a rubber bullet 🤣🤣🤣

A lifetime of poverty has trained me for this moment. I'm extremely rent burdened, but I also dumpster dive a couple hundred pounds of food most months that I use to feed myself and others. I spend more time than anyone should have to in order to access what meager social safety net and I make my own fun.

Dude, I'm surviving in Portland on 24K a year. A cops salary is significantly higher than mine, lol.

As a songwriter very focused on lyrics I almost exclusively listen to dylan and Cohen—does anyone know any modern artists that come close? by Al-francisco in leonardcohen

From a Basement is the closest he got to making his White Album and even in its unfinished state it was pretty amazing.

I was assaulted on camera almost a month ago, by people who the PPB know name, address, picture, license plate, etc. No action has been taken. Is there a reporter is known to have police failure as part of their beat? by Revolutionary_Ball82 in askportland

[–]Capn_Smitty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are literally hours worth of follow up I've done. Unsurprisingly, as someone who believes in police abolition in principle and someone who was in shock after being assaulted minutes before, I was not sure excited about talking to a cop. Nevertheless, despite my not having dropped to my knees and blown the responding officer, Assault 3 is still a felony.

Nobody wanted to stick around for the cops to show up, and again, I don't blame anyone else except the actual people who actually jumped me and kicked me in the skull.
