Tigard gets a taste

The Tigard cops shot and killed a mentally ill man the other night.

Tigard is easy driving distance from Portland. So you know what happens next.

Boarded-up businesses, graffiti, broken glass, it has begun. Next are the dumpster fires, maybe some arson, and looting.

It will end some day. There are two possible endings: greatly enhanced social justice or a brutal beatdown of the "protesters." 

Part of me wishes we could get on with it, one way or the other.
