It should be very, very telling when police publicly say they don't trust people because they're antifascists, yet here we are
Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.
That’s when talking about normal people, these are cops were talking about.
"I don't trust anything you do or say because you oppose fascism".
There, that's cleared it up a bit.
Portland's DA just recently got elected and is actually pretty good, he's advocating for the end of cash bail and mandatory minimum sentencing. He also dropped almost all of the charges against the portland protesters (around 500 were dropped, 47 will go forward)
"The district attorney's office will presumptively decline to pursue criminal charges which result solely from the participation in a protest or mass demonstration," Schmidt said.
Crimes that will not be prosecuted include: interfering with a peace officer, disorderly conduct in the second degree, criminal trespass in the first or second degree, escape in the third degree, and harassment and riot when it isn't accompanied by a charge separate from this list.
In his official "meet the new DA" interview, he name dropped this book, which looks pretty good. (Author of the New Jim Crow gave it a good review)
Anyway, that's why the cops hate him lol
It should be abolished, not replaced with anything. I encourage you to listen to this episode of Citations Needed on the subject:

Nothing. Hold them if they're actually dangerous enough to justify it, otherwise release them until trial.
Once DA Schmidt took office, PPB started just beating the shit out of protesters harder without even pretending to arrest them
They're part of the Soros Secret Police. See antifa is the real SS after all.
I remember a veteran that became an officer who had some good ideas but I can't quite remember his name.
Why the fuck do they think another Jew funding me? I have a job, I'll fund my damn self.
