"This is not the fault of the Eugene Police Department"

Sure. That's why I read in the Weekly that a bum is being charged for theft of electricity for using someone's exterior outlet and then watch a patrol car with two cops ignore two hoodlums doing the same thing in Maurie Jacobs park. Less than ten minutes later, a POS employee was threatened with death by these punks because he removed their devices and repaired the outlet cover they had damaged, for the second straight day. They finished their tirade by dousing the employee in beer and throwing a beer can at him.

I see that entire scene as one that should have been prevented by the two cops. They should have gotten out of their SUV,cited the punks for theft and drinking in public and perhaps arrested them for the vandalism. Sadly, our cops are unprofessional, lazy and incompetent, just like their leadership, so they didn't bother.
