G03 - Rose City Vice: Portland in the 70s | Phil Stanford

Long before Portland became a caricature of artisanal donuts and sketch comedy, it was a gritty, rain-soaked playground for corrupt cops and small-time hustlers. Stanford peels back the damp moss to reveal a history of unsolved murders, vice rackets, and a police force that operated more like a street gang than a law enforcement agency. A sordid reminder that the "good old days" were mostly just violent and poorly lit.
