Portland Moving Toward Decentralization

Staying and fighting the police is usually not the right tactical decision. In portland, we have an extremely militarized police force. I think that goes hand in hand with the decentralization of the movement. People didn't have the agency, or their own agency, to really disappear into the night and move on from that like people felt obligated to follow somebody. So i definitely think that played a role. And portland moving towards decentralization also played a role in that.
