The CPD is a joke. They were planning on not pursuing any arrests until us in the Oregon transgender community were blowing up their phones. They weren’t going to do anything until they noticed they could us it for PR, to appear as if they’re allies to us.

I hope these three, evil men are never allowed to take courses at Oregon State set foot on the campus ever again. They are a disgrace.
