An Oregon police review board reportedly expressed total disbelief this week after police and fire departments reacted negatively to being overseen by a man who spent nearly three decades in prison for murder, sources have confirmed
Board members said they were blindsided by the backlash, admitting they never imagined law enforcement might object to taking guidance from someone whose strongest professional credential was “extensive incarceration experience.”
Officials insisted the appointment was meant to challenge “outdated ideas about consequences.”
Concerns escalated when departments noticed the new board member consistently voted against incarceration in every case.
When asked about the pattern, Kyle Hedquist allegedly explained that prisons are “overused” and that he personally finds them “counterproductive,” a position board members described as “lived, lived experience.”
The situation finally collapsed after someone mistakenly requested background checks, prompting Hedquist to reportedly say, “Yeah, about that — I did murder someone, but only because she was going to snitch on me for stealing stuff, so it made sense at the time.”
Board members immediately voted to remove him while privately asking why police were being so “uptight.”
Progressive leaders defended the decision, noting no one could have predicted that appointing a convicted murderer to review police conduct would upset the police.
As of press time, the board was reportedly blaming the fallout on “toxic accountability culture” and reminding residents that this is what progress looks like.
Left wing dementia is a tragedy to America!
Could we remove the west coast from the rest of the country? Let all the liberals and whoever else wants to join them go live there and all the ones who are not liberal leave. Rather like a home swap type of thing. We could put up a nice big Berlin style wall and let them go crazy all on their own. They could call the new country liberality or something equally as woke.
I agree. And no more Federal Funds for them. Let them survive on their own with no handouts.
I can’t believe these people could promote a convicted felon a murderer at that to over see the police that put this murderer in prison in the fist place. How stupid can you be ? The decision is so stupid , these people are to stupid to be making any decisions.
These people are not stupid, They are insane.they ( ask now that they have cured me of my schizophrenia where am I now that I need me?)
At this point, I’m concerned about the progressives, they need to be evaluated for mental illness or possibly a brain disorder?? Nothing is common sense, just TDS and chaos!
Only in Oregon can idiots put a con in charge of the police and firefighters
Really? Check out Kalifornia.
They thought about the Pros and Cons, and decided Pros were illegal and Cons were small Conservatives.
I live in this insane asylum. Oregon is a beautiful state infected by 3 infestations of idiocy: Portland, Salem. & Eugene. Other than these urban habitats of knuckle dragging mouth breathers it is a great place to live.
More evidence that the DNC central brain isn’t even able to digest artificial intelligence, let alone emulate real intelligence. Progress isn’t progress when it’s regressive. Toxicity is the air progressives breathe confirming that perhaps they’re from Venus not Marsm, certainly not terrestial in either case.
The Leftists of Oregon deserve what they get. Liberals have lost the little brains they had and are now brain dead.
Let’s be real, leftists would run the devil for president if they could get him out of California.
Job requirement: #1. Can not be a convicted Felon. Was this requirement removed.
The left coast will be sliding into the ocean in the very near future. Nature has a way of dealing with $hit.
