Street racers blocked streets and intersections across the city on a weekend when Portland police were busy responding to homocides and shootings. Some of the events blocked officers from reaching people who had been shot. "Although it is the goal of the Portland Police Bureau to answer calls for service as soon as possible after they are dispatched, street racing incidents are typically large crowd control events requiring a large number of officers," said Nathan Sheppard, a lieutenant with the Portland Police Bureau.
