Forum to discuss crime issues
■ t-orum topics win cover
police misconduct, prison
labor, health standards
and sentences
By Darren Freeman
Oregon Daily Emerald
Eugene activists and Eugene
law enforcement officials don’t al
ways see eye to eye. During the
past three years, Eugene has seen
a trend develop in which protests
lead to riots, which are broken up
by police barriers and tear gas.
But a group of Eugene activists are
working to break that trend.
Two days after the June 18,
1999, downtown “Reclaim the
Streets” protest ended with riot
ing and tear gassing, about 60 of
the nearly 300 protesters met to
brainstorm ways to prevent future
conflicts between activists and
police, said activist Carol Berg.
In the final phase of the major
solution proposed at that June
1999 meeting, a diverse group of
sixteen speakers, ranging from
Eugene Police Chief Jim Hill to
self-proclaimed anarchist Mar
shall Kirkpatrick, will give pre
sentations addressing the event’s
theme, “Cops, Courts, Jails & The
Prison Industrial Complex,” at
6:30 p.m. Tuesday night at the
Lane County Courthouse.
The free event is the third in a
series of people’s forums, which
have previously tackled topics
such as corporate power, trans
portation, police and city issues,
protest strategies and the World
Trade Organization.
“The forums are an opportunity
for members of the community to
get together and civilly hear each
other out without having miscon
ceptions coloring things,” said
Berg, who helps organize the fo
rums. “There is an amount of po
larization on both sides, and this
is a good step toward creating un
aersianuing ueiweeii neignuuis.
The fact is, we’re all in this com
munity together.”
Berg said the goal of the forums
is two-fold — to educate the com
munity and to promote under
standing.
Speakers will each have five
minutes to discuss topics includ
ing police procedure, legal theory,
mandatory minimum sentences
legislation, services for the fami
lies of incarcerated people, prison
labor and prison health standards.
“We’ll be skimming over the
surface of some issues, but we’ll
still be educating citizens about
the topical issues in government,”
said Jim Rice, a Lane County pub
lic defenders staff attorney.
“Much of what people know
about criminal justice comes from
TV shows, and it’s almost always
wrong.”
Hill, scheduled to speak first,
said he hopes to help the audi
ence understand that police offi
cers are also members of the com
munity and are committed to
protecting freedom of speech.
“I think people really don’t un
derstand that a lot of people get
into police work as a form of ac
tivism,” Hill said. “The only rea
son we get pulled into demonstra
tions is because we have an
obligation to respond to criminal
conduct.
“I don’t know anybody in the
department who feels friction
with any group, but when people
start breaking windows, terrifying
citizens and jumping on cars, it
changes the situation,” he said.
Hill said he was somewhat ap
prehensive about the event, at
which some speakers will address
alleged police misconduct.
“I’m not naive about how this
could turn out,” he said.
Hill said he will advocate all
complaints be directed to either
the police department or the Hu
People's Forum
The event, which will address
“Cops, Courts, Jails &The Prison
Industrial Complex," will be held
6:30 p.m. tonight in Harris Hall in
the lane County Courthouse. The

man Rights Commission.
Berg predicts 200-250 people
will attend this evening’s event,
which has 80 minutes slated for
audience questions and input.
“There will probably be wall
to-wall, standing-room only,”
Berg said. “The previous meet
ings were packed.”
The forum will conclude with
desserts, served by Food Not
Bombs and Cafe Anarchista, and
a presentation of locally produced
videos of activists and police.
Gore, Bush lead parties in Iowa
by Kon t-ourmer
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Republi
can George W. Bush scored a clos
er-than-expected victory Monday
night in the Iowa presidential cau
cuses, besting Steve Forbes to set
the stage for a high-stakes three
way race in the New Hampshire
primary. Democrats gave Vice
President A1 Gore a big win over
Bill Bradley who said he had “a lit
tle more humility” and vowed to
push his challenge.
“I can’t wait to get to New
nampsmre, was uore s Dame cry,
and he said he’d be campaigning
Tuesday at dawn.
The results set the stage for a dra
matic week in New Hampshire,
first in a furious flurry of primary
elections that could determine the
presidential nominations by
March 7.
Bush described the caucus re
sults as validation of his compas
sionate-conservative agenda. “It’s
a solid victory and I’m humbled,’’
he told the Associated Press as the
presidential campaigns put the
Desi-possiDie spins on tneir nmsn
es. The Texas governor roused
supporters with the vow, “Tonight
is the beginning of the end of the
Clinton era.”
Forbes said “we vastly over-per
formed the polls and have emerged
as the conservative candidate” go
-ing into New Hampshire.
Gore was out-polling Bradley 63
percent to 35 percent, and the for
mer New Jersey senator said,
“Tonight I have a little more hu
mility but no less confidence that I
can win and do the job. ”
