Just yesterday, one of my friends was in a shoe store close to PDX, when four men entered the store with a giant trash bag, and proceeded to clear the shelves into the bag, filling it up and then leaving, unchallenged. The police are often fearful of responding to calls because of possible blowback. Portland has basically become a parody of itself... "Keep Portland Weird" indeed. Their chickens have come home to roost.
There are places in Canada and Europe far more "progressive" than the kooks running those policies you cite. Being "progressive" has nothing to do with defunding the police.
I think the label you are searching for is "American corruption and incompetence".
