Mapps might also be the best person in office in Portland right now. There's plenty I wouldn't agree with him on, but he's the only one who has repeatedly referred to the issue not as "gun violence" but "gang violence." That piece almost never gets play in the media because it doesn't feed their narrative.Oh so true.... No maths, no readings.
Something else that I find interesting coming from the Oregonian article linked previously:
Mayor Ted Wheeler has called the shootings an epidemic. City Councilor Mingus Mapps, who is Black, characterized the gun violence as a "cancer in our city."
So Mr Mapps is identified as "Black".... Why isn't Mr. Wheeler identified as "White"?
