They always have, but you can't deny the photo.

Apparently telling PPB that they look like used condoms *does* get under their skin just in case anyone was curious

PPB just shot someone in Lents Park, media release confirms.
They label it as an "Officer-involved shooting"

I'm not going to let this go ignored. Here we have body cam footage showing the LEO swerved to hit this kid.

Our police here can't arrest a person who attempted vehicular homicide that's right in front of them?
But they sure can take the budget intended for body cams and spend it on fancy cars instead. 😒

[A Weird Oregonian 🐝 @Quakza]

You'd ask: Then what do they do?

Protect the interests of those with privilege and power - that's what.

Anyone notice how police vehicles get fancier and fancier at least every five years?
Hidden light panels, even hidden lights that read police, now legit sports car build? Wish I hadn't been driving today so I could have snapped a photo of the sheriff vehicle I saw today.

The thing that gets me the most about this is that it's side-by-side with poor numbers of closed cases, increasing crime, and police literally just standing there watching violent crimes happen & not doing a damn thing.

They don't even enforce the law. I've see no proof they do.

Eugene in the spotlight on TedTalk about CAHOOTS, a mobile crisis response team. It would be nice to see this in other cities as well. Many cities still send police alone to these calls and in my experience they couldn't even identify depression. 🙃

I'm wondering if anyone's keeping an eye on the microfauna around the rivers in northern Oregon.
Wish I was there to turn over some rocks & see if there's any Stone Flies around.
I found one around the Deschutes today & was relieved because they're very sensitive to pollution.

I would like to wish everyone who's still in it a very wonderful evening and some good rest.
