WATCH: Oregon Governor Encourages People To Call Cops On Large Thanksgiving Dinners (VIDEO)

Democrat Governor Kate Brown called on Oregonians to call the police on neighbors for having large Thanksgiving gatherings. Brown compared these gatherings to a noisy house party.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown stated, “The vast majority of Oregonians are complying with these measures, however, these measures are enforceable by law, and those who don’t enforce these measures put every single one of us at risk. That’s unacceptable.”

A reporter from KGWnews, Maggie Vespa asked, “Do you want people calling the police on their neighbors, non-emergency lines or 911?”

Gov. Brown responded, “Look, this is no different than what happens if there’s a party down the street and it’s keeping everyone awake. What do neighbors do? They call law enforcement because it’s too noisy. This is just like that. It’s like a violation of a noise ordinance.”

Vespa asked, “That could be a yes?”

Gov. Brown stated, “Yes, yes. But honestly, they shouldn’t have to. This is about saving lives and it’s about protecting our fellow Oregonians. It’s about protecting our families. It’s about protecting our vulnerable community members. And frankly, it’s about protecting the entire state of Oregon.”

Brown continued, “I think, you know what, we are 9-10 months into this pandemic, we’re all frustrated. I miss seeing my family and friends. I know my fellow Oregonians do as well. I know that Thanksgiving is not going to look like it does in prior years. We had big, huge family gatherings where we ate fabulous food and hung out with friends and family. So I know that everyone is frustrated. This is really, really hard. I, there’s nothing more than I love than going to my local favorite restaurant. And that’s why I looked under every cushion I could to find fifty-five million dollars for our counties to distribute to their bars and restaurants, the other businesses impacted by these restrictions. But here’s the deal. The challenges is that we have way too many sporadic cases. These are cases that we can’t trace to a particular source. We have to limit our social interactions and our gatherings in order to reduce the spread and slow the transmission of the disease. There’s no other way around it. And it’s unfortunate. I am again committed to getting additional resources to our Oregon small businesses.”

Oregon is the first state to decriminalize all hard drugs and is the home of Portland Councilwoman Jo Ann Hardesty, who is infamous for calling the police on her Lyft driver.

Hardesty has said in the past, “Rather than show up at protests in riot gear that they should just respond to the 911 calls where a crime is being committed.”
