Portland Police Just Told Citizens They’re On Their Own

About this video

Colion analyzes a news report from Portland where police took 30-40 minutes to respond to a naked man allegedly attempting to abduct a 7-year-old, ultimately stopped by a civilian with pepper spray. He argues this incident demonstrates that individuals are their own first responders, citing Portland’s admission of operating with only 41 officers citywide and severe staffing shortages. Colion connects this to the Second Amendment and the concept of citizen militia, teaching that waiting for police is not a viable self-defense strategy.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that police response times reveal individuals must act as their own first responders, as departments operate with limited resources and cannot guarantee timely arrival
• According to Colion, Portland’s situation (41 officers citywide, 30-40 minute response times) illustrates how easily a city’s emergency response can be overwhelmed or strategically exploited
• Colion argues the Second Amendment was written with the understanding that government help would not arrive in time, making armed self-defense a foundational responsibility
