The city pays more than $1 million per year in claims against the police. In one outrageous incident, two o/Ticers claimed that a man on a pus made an obscene gesture with /his finger at them. The police ran onto the bus, dragged the man into the street, and beat him. The two f w ^x/iiwiiivii imany lurt* ed to resign. In Portland, Ore., last April, a 31-year-old black man, Lloyd D. Stevenson Jr., was killed in a scuffle with two officers. One policeman had applied a "sleeper" hold to Stevenson, and blood to his brain was cut off. When Portland Police Chief Penny E. Harrington banned the "sleeper," two outraged officers prepared and distributed T-shirts with the logo, "Don't choke 'em, smoke 'em."

A grand jury refused to indict the officers who killed Stevenson, but his family is currently suing the city for $15 million. Poverty, unemployment, poor schools, drugs and the breakdown of neighborhood and cultural institutions are the root causes of street crime. If we spent $30 billion on jobs and schools instead ot the MX missile and other weapons systems, we'd cut urban violence significantly. But we must also support the creation of tough civilian controls over the -police, the establishment of residency requirements for police, the introduction of more women and \ minorities into the ranks and leadership, and the use of citizens' commissions and special prosecutor's offices to check police violence.
