Portland, Ore., shelled out thousands of taxpayer dollars to a group of homeless people to have them evaluate the city's new Police Accountability Commission after the city said that its "houseless community" should shape the way cops are disciplined.
Portland's Police Accountability Commission hired a marketing firm in June and July to hold focus groups with participants from "communities that have been historically underrepresented … or who are vulnerable to police misconduct or discrimination," according to a commission report. The city held one session at a local homeless shelter, which invited "twenty participants from the houseless community" to provide their "thoughts and ideas about the police" and the city's disciplinary policies for law enforcement officers. Each participant received a $200 gift card, meaning the city paid at least $4,000 to hold the focus group at the homeless shelter

The majority of homeless suffer from drug addiction or mental illness. Are those the folks that should evaluate police officers.

What will the progressives think of next? Perhaps they'll have arrestees fill out a 'how'd we do at the stop and booking' questionnaire?
And why does a commission need 44 additional bodies to work? Can't 12 people run it? Or, in typical Oregon fashion, they've created another make work government entity. Why run a commission with 'x' amount of employees, when you can make it unworkable with four times 'x' employees?
The city leadership is stupid and the voters keep approving of their stupidity every time at the polls.
