On this episode of the Gap, Tammy and Althea talk about consequences and restructuring at the Portland Police Bureau. We talk about the City Commission's compromise on the Gun Violence Reduction Team and the Dept. of Justice's notice of non-compliance for excessive force used by Portland cops. (See links below for more info.)
Then, we talk about parasocial relationships and how they may pertain to a bizarre interaction that a friend of Althea's had. Parasocial relationships are one-sided, media-enabled relationships that have become more widespread with social media. Real friendships have reciprocity!
Plus, your calls!
