Original Note:
The implication that de-policing caused this rise in homicide rates is unfounded. The Portland Police Bureau's $229.5M budget for FY21 was only a reduction of 3.64%; the $238.2M budget for FY20 was the largest ever in bureau history. https://www.streetroots.org/news/2022/08/03/ppb-budget-2022 https://www.portland.gov/cbo/2021-2022-budget/documents/2021-2022-budget-cbo-review-police/download
