I am a business professional in the Portland area.  I had the unfortunate experience of receiving a DUII.  On the police report it stated I 'resisted arrest'.  There was no explaination of this and I find this to be either an exaggeration or a blatant lie.  I have completely lost respect for the police in Oregon. Period.  I completely admit my mistake but because of this remark I am holding back on any donations or support for our police.

Young kids race cars in my Westside residential neighborhood.  A neighbor states their children who have been to their homes are involved in illegal business and fear reporting them.  One kid hit a street light one day.  I ran out to help the kid  but because of my personal disrespect and fear of the police I did not call for help.  I would like the car racing to stop too but I do not want to be the person to call this in.
