TO THE EDITOR duty. If we the people don’t do it, who’s going to do it? The citizens of Eugene have cer- tainly seen what happens when they don’t. Why would the police want to be in a sep- arate structure? This would only be a much more attractive target to some nut. A totally separate police will only add to the paid mer- cenary mentality that currently exists. And a central location quickly turns into a hang out — which is the last thing you want it to be. All personnel involved in law enforce- ment should be permanently housed through- out the community where they are needed. And citizens should be drafted to serve right along side them. A central location for police, prosecutors, the courts, etc., really sucks.

No more than two paragraphs into the article the phrase “saving the unborn” appears and not in a quote or in a joking fashion either. The term “unborn” is the height of bias and it should have been obvious to the editor and the reporter. Please use accurate terms such as fetus in the future. Language is important, and when you adopt a biased word choice you have al- ready been partly co-opted.
