Report submitted from near Washington/Jefferson bridge, April 3rd 2025

I am walking along West 4th Avenue towards the Washington/Jefferson bridge on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 at about 11:00am, crossing Jefferson through the underpass and there is a Eugene police vehicle, #281832, a 4-door pick up truck parked on the cement walkway facing me! Two Eugene police officers were sitting inside this pick up truck.

There is a man on the ground with his belongings. There is another man standing on the other side of the cement structure which holds the freeway up. This man has his belongings bungeed to a wheeled carrier.
I did not want the Eugene police to hassle, arrest, or take away the man’s belongings that were spread out on the ground so, I stood there facing the Eugene police car. I did move a little bit to not face the Eugene police car the entire time the police were parked there. The Eugene police

were there for about an hour. I wasn’t planning on moving since I have witnessed many times when I have walked across and through the Washington/Jefferson underpass Eugene police gathered along with City of Eugene employees confiscating belongings of individuals. Placing everything one owns in their large plastic bags, then placing all their belongings in the back of the City of Eugene pickup truck.
I have lived in Eugene for over 25 years and I see more injustice and violations of peoples’ human and civil rights happen here daily and throughout the city. At least yesterday morning, the police finally went away. I wish I had a peaceful solution for all the human rights violations I witness?
