A Portland politician pushing to defund the police, claiming that most calls are not real crimes, recently called them herself — over an argument with a Lyft driver who refused to close his window.

City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty — who also oversees Portland’s emergency dispatch system — has repeatedly campaigned to cut police budgets and shift money elsewhere, arguing that the force is inundated with unnecessary calls that don’t involve crimes, according to The Oregonian.
