Armed ICE officer in Portland called 911 during confrontation: β€˜I’m going to have to shoot this kid’ Dispatch records and a police report obtained by OPB describe the previously unreported incident last fall.

β€œI need someone here now, or else I’m going to have to shoot this kid,” an ICE officer told a Portland police dispatcher in late October, when he realized his vehicle was being tailed by someone on a motorized bike.

It is important to receive this cultural knowledge. If it is imparted via vending machine, so be it.

Knuckles Noodle: Wait, can you have a coprolite wedding ring?

Me: Yes! And it would be an appropriate adornment according to the old tradition of "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something poo!"

This is annoys me no end, but I do not hold out much hope that it is going to change. I'm just delighted if I can get the people actually attending to respond. It is incredible to me that if someone invites you to a thing, some folks will simply ignore the correspondence.

I wonder if we could just put some variety of manual bike pulley/hoist on either side. πŸ˜‚

I recalled the initial discussions including ramps but now I'm doubting myself! I may be wrong on this. But we absolutely need to insist on ramps for any future projects of this ilk, because holy cats, the elevators are always borken.

The people demand ramps! It's so annoying that ramps were axed from this design.
