She added, \u201cI do not hold the police accountable for this at all \u2014 I hold our city accountable for defunding the police.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have enough police force to protect our citizens, and we did this to ourselves,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the latest video at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\">foxnews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Portland Police Bureau released surveillance footage of the random attack:<\/p>\n<p>Watch the latest video at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\">foxnews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Constantino is putting her foot down. She told Fox she did not vote for a city commissioner who supported defunding the police, and she voted for the Republican candidate in Oregon\u2019s last gubernatorial election.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic politicians have failed Constantino and everyone else in Portland. They\u2019ve prioritized their political agenda ahead of safety, leaving people to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, they call for stricter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/federal-court-rules-bidens-pistol-brace-crackdown-huge-win-peaceable-gun-owners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gun control<\/a>. But many people \u2014 especially women \u2014 are taking their safety into their own hands.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/usa_gun-ownership-steadily-increasing-among-us-women\/6207787.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Voice of America<\/a>, \u201cnew gun owners are more likely to be female,\u201d and data suggests that \u201cwomen accounted for about half of all gun purchases between 2019 and 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leniency and excuses are the cornerstones of Democratic leadership. The hardened criminal gets off, and the average citizen pays the price. This is what is happening in blue cities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just your perception, either. On the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visionofhumanity.org\/maps\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Peace Index<\/a>, the U.S. ranks near the bottom \u2014 131st out of 165. We\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/worldpopulationreview.com\/country-rankings\/safest-countries-in-the-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fallen<\/a> every year since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>And, of the 20 most dangerous cities in America as ranked by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighborhoodscout.com\/blog\/top100dangerous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Neighborhood Scout<\/a>, only one has a Republican mayor.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be a genius to put two and two together. You only need to walk through the streets of San Francisco, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/chilling-video-people-look-like-zombies-streets-philly-tranq-epidemic-explodes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philadelphia<\/a>, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Washington, D.C., and the like to see what Democratic leadership will get you.<\/p>\n<p>In this atmosphere, no one wants to become a police officer because they aren\u2019t protected, either. As Constantino pointed out, this leaves police forces short on bodies and capability.<\/p>\n<p>This story is just one small example of the result of failed Democratic policies. The more we let Democrats get what they want, the more Mary Constantinos will be viciously attacked. It will continue unless we stop it.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats may believe they are doing what is right. But the story of our nation is saying otherwise. And that story doesn\u2019t have a happy ending.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/doctor-says-voting-republican-experiencing-brutal-reality-democrat-run-city\/\">Doctor Says She&#8217;s Voting Republican After Experiencing the Brutal Reality of Democrat-Run City<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t have to see a video or read a story about an innocent woman getting assaulted out of nowhere to realize that the system isn\u2019t working for those it was designed to protect.
