EUGENE, Ore. Three Eugene City Councilors woke up Monday morning to vandalism on their properties with messages supporting defunding police.
The city said two councilors had walls and fences spray-painted with graffiti and one had a sign left on their property. The Eugene Police Department said they re not releasing photos of the vandalism to protect the investigation.
However, Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner said in a statement this vandalism is an affront to the local government and the community.
Police ramping up party patrols amid spike in massive gatherings I think that they re literally terrorizing the neighborhood and our community by not practicing safe social distancing guidelines. There s people on the roofs, people crowding around the yard and into the street.

As a result, fans were not allowed inside the Ducks football game at the Autzen Stadium in Eugene. However, that did not stop UO students from gathering.
