I understand that you don't believe that the police can arrest someone, interrogate them for useful information, and then release them, usually before nightfall.

I don't believe that either. You generally have to be suspected of a crime for arrest (Fourth amendment) and your have a fifth amendment right to remain silent.

Have it your way. The reality is that the police can hold you without arresting you.

They can detain you without arresting you, yes. However there are very specific limits to that and the idea they can just pick you up in order to interrogate you is incorrect. There are specific protections against that.

Yes, you can be questioned. That is part of their job -

That has ZERO to do with the topic of this thread.

The citizens of Portland have my sympathies. Their city is slowly being handed over to mob rule.

Their crime rates has risen to 138% higher than the national average and it continues to:

Here they are:

Cops breaking the law is the problem that these bad apples quitting before they can be investigated for wrong doing is solving.

Pssst.... they did NOT quit the force, just the detail that dealt with the continuous riots - your point is moot.

As is yours, because those cops will be replaced by ones who actually believe in the law.

Not so. The OP clearly says the entire riot squad resigned.

You see there must be some good cops. But the one’s who quit were obviously afraid that a light would be shined on their abhorrent behaviour.

Sometimes, the trash takes itself out.

No, they are still rioting, setting fires and hurting businesses.

Those who took the time to read the link understand the riot squad was a specialized detail. That now no longer exists. The members of the former detail are still officers, just not putting themselves in the position anymore.

Then other officers will volunteer, who will be a great improvement over the quitters.

Then what is all the fuss about. Not all cops want to beat people up/shoot at them.

What exactly are you trying to say?

Tell that to the minority business owners who are being looted and burnt down. Tell that to the families who have had loved ones injured and in some cases killed.
