(NewsNation) —The safety commissioner of Portland, Oregon, urged residents Monday not to call 911 except in the event of a life-or-death emergency due to drug overdose calls overwhelming the system.“Our 911 system is getting hammered this morning with a multiple person incident — multiple overdoses in northwest park blocks,” Rene Gonzalez, Portland’s city commissioner of public safety, posted to social media Monday. “Please do not call 911 except in event of life/death emergency or crime in progress (or chance of apprehending suspect). For non-emergency please use 503-823-3333.”Gonzalez told “On Balance” host Leland Vittert that Portland’s 911 systems are swamped and something has to be done.“Our 911 systems are overwhelmed right now. So, we’ve got to confront this crisis head-on … We need to take a strong stand in Portland,” Gonzalez said.

Only in liberal cities. I swear libs in this country shouldn't be allowed to vote or have any position in authority. The police are swamped with sudden ODs of drugs. They don't have the manpower to address anything else.

Actually, I agree with the Commissioner.  I do not want to pay police, EMT's, Doctors or Hospitals to treat people who intentionally poison themselves.
