Not only is this hugely fucking irritating, this dishonest “law and order” fearmongering also 100% contributed to the political climate which enabled the current fascist takeover of the US govt. <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/KGW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KGW</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portland</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/PDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PDX</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oregon</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/orpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orpol</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disinformation</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/disinfo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disinfo</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/classwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#classwar</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oligarchy</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/farright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#farright</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpol</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maga</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coup</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/nathanVasquez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nathanVasquez</a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/@RhysInPDX/111133384925778358" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pnw.zone/@RhysInPDX/111133384925778358</a>

If our district attorney’s office could identify those cases that are dismissals much earlier in the process and dismiss them, that would save many hours of defense attorney time that we could then turn around and focus on taking new cases.”</blockquote>Or y’know, just stop charging so much shit. Oregon’s well-fed prosecuting attorneys are operating in bad faith, and often on extremely flimsy charges. <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/orPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orPol</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oregon</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/PDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PDX</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/publicDefense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicDefense</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/publicDefender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicDefender</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/nathanVasquez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nathanVasquez</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portland</a>
