Try working together <br /> Please, folks, let's get down to what's <br /> really bugging us about the Eugene police <br /> state: One of the reasons people act in vio- <br /> lence is because they are afraid. Whether <br /> the fear is tangible or subliminal, the police <br /> and public have a fear of each other. <br /> Instead of pointing fingers, why not <br /> focus on where the problem originates? <br /> Why are people hanging out on 13th Ave- <br /> nue? Why are there drugs? Why are some <br /> people urinating on lawns? Simple solutions <br /> for simple (complex ?) problems: trpubic <br /> thso restrooms, community <br /> rehabilitation. <br /> Let's provide our communities with pro- <br /> active outlets. Let's welcome � street � and <br /> performance. Bring con - <br /> sumerist avenue. <br /> Why make 13th Avenue so undesirable <br /> by allowing a police state? There is no solu- <br /> tion in that. We know do yw a where <br /> Scobert Park. Community <br /> it's at. rights, and you have no <br /> Hand over your nigh <br /> voice. It's more than just drugs and petty <br /> crime — it's violation of rights, harassment, <br /> discrimination and violence. Is that what <br /> you want in your neighborhood? Or do you <br /> want to see people enjoying a town that has <br /> a lot of positive qualities? <br /> Please, let's work together. <br /> SIS ANDERSON <br /> Eugene <br /> Cw <br />
