For once the Eugene police Commanders have made wise decisions which very likely saved at least one life.  The woman involved earlier was not at the scene and not at risk.  The fundamental question that we the people must ask, is it worth it to kill over an incident like this one.  The police union apparently would have been completely happy to take the dude out perhaps using a sniper to shoot through a window into the dude's head.  Apparently, no police saw a weapon.  Apparently the woman involved, who seems to have resisted taking the dudes sweatpants off, is the only one who claims to have seen a gun.

The police union wanted to kill the man.  Their management wisely decided that provoking death over a questionable allegation which had already resolved itself was not prudent.  I applaud the commanders!  We the people must speak up to support the infusion of wisdom and perspective into policing.  Killing is not always the answer.  The police union and the letter signers don't get it.
