Fwd: Decreasing Funding to LAPD- Let's Make LA Safe (!!)1 message

From: Izabella Hovhanisian <izabella.hovhanisian@lacity.org>To: City Clerk Council and Public Services <clerk.cps@lacity.org>At: Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 10:40 AM

---------- Forwarded message ---------From: Christina Roulette <christina.roulette@gmail.com>Date: Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 10:40 AMSubject: Decreasing Funding to LAPD- Let's Make LA Safe (!!)To:

First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge all of the incredible work all police men and women do for our communities. Irespect and love all of our police officers, BUT there is a glaring issue with over policing, violence, and mass incarceration inour black and minority communities. It is clearly a systematic issue that needs to be fixed from top to bottom. We need morecomprehensive training that does not target black skin. We need less police in our neighborhoods and equal policepresence ALL over LA County.

This chaotic and racially impartial culture that pervades within LAPD needs to end. We need:

Direct accountability for ALL police brutalityLet our court systems do their jobPenalize without pay for any and all confirmed police brutality casesRehabilitate and help those officers- if not remove them from that area or fire them for not upholding theirposition. 1-Strike Rule for Cops who use excessive force.

Less Police presence in black and brown neighborhoods.I see a glaring discrepancies from Los Feliz vs South CentralEncourage neighborhood policing and reallocating LAPD fund to local charities

Team up w/ communities to encourage compassion and empathy training Encourage local people to join the LAPD and have them police their areas

Study the stats of all neighborhoods in LA in terms of police presence and make it transparent and EQUAL.We need to know where our tax money is going. Decrease the amount of petty arrests by increasing funding to other community needs

HousingMental HealthAccess to clean water and healthy food Medical

Too much societal issues are unfairly falling onto our Police-- they can not solve these issuesand it is not their responsibility to police it.

I appreciate your time and hope my comments are taken seriously. I believe in justice, and I believe in humanity- do yourpart.

Thank you!

Dear Holly Wolcott,

The current budget of the city has over 50% of tax payer dollars going toPolice. This is wrong. "At $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger thanthe allocations to the fire department, Office of Emergency Management,Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housingand Community Investment Agency combined."

If this amount was spent on other agencies we would have a far betterfunctioning city with an amazing public transportation system. Moreimportantly we would have less police violence towards people of color.

Ask yourself if you think an agency trained that its okay to watch anotherofficer kill someone over a speeding ticket and not say anything about thatis deserving of even more money in order to "keep their peace".

Dear Clerk Wolcott,

You need to adopt a People’s Budget and defund the police! We are in the midst of a health pandemic with severe economic consequences. 50% of Angelenos are unemployed and cannot pay rent due to the economic insecurity caused by COVID-19 and its fall out--we can accept thousands more. The budget payout should benefit Folx, and Black, Indigenous, People of Color, not the police! I am urging you to publicly support the people’s budget. The Mayor’s disastrous proposal must be updated with the priorities of Angelenos. You need to adopt a People’s Budget which defunds the police. We need disinvestment from the police and investment in the community- and health-centered services. Public opinion is with me.

Thank you for your time, Layla Fahs

Dear Council President Martinez, Chair of Budget and Finance Committee Krekorian, LA Council Member Cedillo, and LACity Clerk:

Council file 20-0600: I would like to contribute this email to the public record.

I write to you as a constituent demanding an emergency city council meeting be called to deny Mayor Eric Garcetti'sproposed budget. The city of Los Angeles needs to adopt the People's Budget and DEFUND THE POLICE.

Your support of People's Budget is necessary, because it will fund the services the people of your city are entitled to anddepend on to survive, including affordable housing, physical and mental healthcare, education, public transportation,among others. Instead of funding these essential services, Mayor Garcetti proposes an overfunding of the LAPD during asignificant drop in crime.

The fundamental needs of the constituents you have been elected to serve should be of paramount importance, and arejection of this request for an emergency city council meeting will represent a failure on your part to care for all of us inyour charge.

As an LA native and resident, I am urging you to publicly support the People's Budget in the midst of this health pandemicand in preparation for the imminent economic fallout.

Your constituent, Amy WongResident of 91775

By increasing the budget for general services that people need to live safe and healthy lives, you are, in effect, decreasing thework that police officers have to do. You are creating a world that is safer for all, and you are fighting the system that keepsracism rampant in this country. Please consider increasing the allocation of funds towards jobs, healthcare, mental health,public transit, education, and the like. The police do not need to be put under even more pressure. We can help them, andhelp society, by funding these preventative measures against crime.

Dear Leader of the people,

I am disgusted by the deaths of black and brown people in this city, in this state, in this country, in this world. I am a tax payingmember of society. I pay your wages. I pay for your budgets.

How do you stand by and let these murders happen?? How do you find it okay for those under your leadership to murderblack people? Harm protestors including children, the disabled and the press?? You noticed I did not say peaceful protestors.Any damage done by protesting including looting, is a direct result of the state in which people are forced to live. It is a directresult of civil unrest. Therefore it is a direct result of your actions by standing by and letting cops murder innocent people.

This does not just happen in other cities. It happens RIGHT HERE.

Now we are supposed to stand by while over 50% of our budget is given to those cops? The cops that already have assaultrifles and carry them freely in public, those cops that use intimidation and violence consistently as their only means of action.They already have military grade weapons, equipment and vehicles. Why do they need 50% of our budget when people arestarving, homelessness is at an emergency level in LA.

Please tell me as your constituent what are you doing to change this? Do you support the deaths of black people? Do yousupport the abuse of the press? Do you believe black lives matter?

I do. And I vote. I will not vote for a single person who does not speak out against this violence, this budget and the rampantracism that has built our country.

Fwd: WE DEMAND JUSTICE NOW1 message

From: Anna Martinez <anna.martinez@lacity.org>To: City Clerk Council and Public Services <Clerk.CPS@lacity.org>, Mayor Helpdesk <mayor.helpdesk@lacity.org>At: Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 4:04 PM

---------- Forwarded message ---------From: John Rhee <johnrhee625@gmail.com>Date: Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 4:03 PMSubject: WE DEMAND JUSTICE NOWTo: <cityclerk@lacity.org>

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is John Rhee and I am a resident of Northridge, California. I am writing to demand the followinglegislative changes you can make to eradicate the decimation of Black people at the hands of police officers.

The following is a compilation of background information and implementation strategies for necessarylegislative actions derived from collecting the pleas of Black organizers, activists, and journalists:

1. Redirect Police Funding

Phillip McHarris (doctoral candidate focusing on race) and Thenjiwe McHarris (strategist with the Movementfor Black Lives) explain the problem with current police reform efforts:

“More training or diversity among police officers won’t end police brutality, nor will firing and chargingindividual officers. Look at the Minneapolis Police Department, which is held up as a model of progressivepolice reform. The department offers procedural justice as well as trainings for implicit bias, mindfulness andde-escalation. It embraces community policing and officer diversity, bans ‘warrior style’ policing, uses bodycameras, implemented an early intervention system to identify problematic officers, receives training aroundmental health crisis intervention, and practices ‘reconciliation’ efforts in communities of color.”

Evidently, that was not enough. Instead of heightening the resources that officers have, they advocate redirectingfunds to alternative emergency response programs, which can also be fueled by state-level and local-level grants.The McHarris’ argument is that we should work towards a reality in which healthcare workers and emergencyresponse teams should handle substance abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, or mental health cases, whilerapid response social workers provide individuals with the care they need. Community organizers would beresponsible for spearheading responses to the pandemic. “The average police recruit spends 58 hours learninghow to shoot and only 8 hours learning how to de-escalate.” Police officers are not trained nor necessaryin reacting to such crises—specialized responders are.

Most police funding is budgeted and taxed at the local level, with city-level and county-level votes periodicallyincreasing budgets. In 2017, Oakland allocated the highest share of its general fund topolicing nationwide, at 41 percent and $242.5 million. It is crucial to establish state-level and local-level bans onheightening police funds, while simultaneously redirecting budgets to the aforementioned alternatives.

For-profit policing is a large culprit. Even though Governor Brown’s 2016 bill helped protect Californiansfrom civil asset forfeitures, this is far from sufficient. As of 2020, 66.25% of forfeiture profits go to police—aC+ rating.

The Black Lives Matter Movement demands “acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation anddehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police… We call for a national defunding of police. We demandinvestment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive.”

The McHarris’ conclusion states, “We need to reimagine public safety in ways that shrink and eventually abolishpolice and prisons while prioritizing education, housing, economic security, mental health and alternatives toconflict and violence.”A persistent, genuine, and well-thought-out legislative effort to redirect police funds and end for-profit policingis imperative.2. Abolish Legislative Police Protections

Murderers who wear a badge have consistently been given a free pass to decimate Black life. BLM “demand[s]accountability [for] those who are victims of police violence.”

It is vital to ensure that police officers are met with precisely the same consequences as their badgelesscounterparts. Accountability has been denied to Black people for centuries, and it is crucial to impose legislativeconfirmation that accountability is ensured.

Campaign Zero is an organization dedicated to “limiting police interventions, improving communityinteractions, and ensuring accountability.”

They propose a solution of independent investigations. Because only 1% of all killings by police lead to anofficer being charged with a crime, “independent investigations and prosecutions of police officers” must bemandated to eliminate biases. A broken system should not be evaluating itself.

3. Demilitarize the Police

Campaign Zero emphasizes that studies show how “more militarized police departments are significantly morelikely to kill civilians.” Unfortunately, “the federal 1033 program transfers military weapons to policedepartments.”

Campaign Zero continues that to demilitarize, we must “prohibit cities and counties from using federal fundsto purchase military equipment.”

California is not void of this indictment. In total, 41 MRAPs are in the possession of law enforcementagencies in California. All in all, California’s quantity of purchasing such outlandish and high-level militarytechnology is unmatched: “In terms of cash value, California gets more 1033 gear than other states.”

Even though the LAPD has refused to take on more military equipment, they stated that “the department willreplenish and replace” existing equipment. Such measures must be barred in an effort to eventuallydemilitarize the police force entirely in the long run.

Police departments should be restricted from using federal grant money to purchase military equipment, usingthe SWAT team, or conducting no-knock raids. Over-weaponized departments must reduce their use of weaponstockpiles, as “agencies should seek to return to the federal government the military equipment that has alreadybeen received” as places like San Jose already have.

The warranting is simple: “Military equipment naturally increases military-style training for said equipment.That training can increase the other dimensions of militarization,” contributing to the war-like mentalityimplicitly enforced by the police, who have no place fighting wars against the most disenfranchised members oftheir communities.

I hope that our legislators can take tangible, policy-level initiatives to defend Black lives, something they havefailed to do so up until this point. Please listen to the pleas of the Black entities listed above and countless others,and help give rise to a future where Black folks do not have to fear for their lives on a daily basis.

Sincerely but not silently,

John Rhee

Hello,

My name is Carolina Pacheco. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of theLos Angeles city budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending onPolice.

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Carolina Pacheco

Hello,

My name is Jazmine. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of the LosAngeles city budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending on Police.

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Jazmine Solano

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Hello,

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Sarah Charousapha

Hello,

My name is Jason Nam. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of the LosAngeles city budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending on Police.

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Jason Nam

Hello,

My name is Frida Ruiz. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of the LosAngeles city budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending on Police.

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Frida Ruiz

Fwd: WE DEMAND JUSTICE NOW!1 message

From: Anna Martinez <anna.martinez@lacity.org>To: City Clerk Council and Public Services <clerk.cps@lacity.org>At: Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 8:34 PM

Email address: jean_puerto@icloud.com

---------- Forwarded message ---------From: 'Jean Puerto' via Clerk - CityClerk <cityclerk@lacity.org>Date: Tue, Jun 2, 2020, 8:33 PMSubject: WE DEMAND JUSTICE NOW!To: <cityclerk@lacity.org>

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Elyza Puerto and I am a resident of San Pedro, California. I am writing to demand the following legislative changes you can make to eradicate the decimation of Black people at the hands of police officers.

The following is a compilation of background information and implementation strategies for necessary legislative actions derived from collecting the pleas of Black organizers, activists, and journalists:

1. Redirect Police Funding

Phillip McHarris (doctoral candidate focusing on race) and Thenjiwe McHarris (strategist with the Movement for Black Lives) explain the problem with current police reform efforts:

“More training or diversity among police officers won’t end police brutality, nor will firing and charging individual officers. Look at the Minneapolis Police Department, which is held up as a model of progressive police reform. The department offers procedural justice as well as trainings for implicit bias, mindfulness and de-escalation. It embraces community policing and officer diversity, bans ‘warrior style’ policing, uses body cameras, implemented an early intervention system to identify problematic officers, receives training around mental health crisis intervention, and practices ‘reconciliation’ efforts in communities of color.” Evidently, that was not enough. Instead of heightening the resources that officers have, they advocate redirecting funds to alternative emergency response programs, which can also be fueled by state-level and local-level grants. The McHarris’ argument is that we should work towards a reality in which healthcare workers and emergency response teams should handle substance abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, or mental health cases, while rapid response social workers provide individuals with the care they need. Community organizers would be responsible for spearheading responses to the pandemic. “The average police recruit spends 58 hours learning how to shoot and only 8 hours learning how to de-escalate.” Police officers are not trained nor necessary in reacting to such crises—specialized responders are. Most police funding is budgeted and taxed at the local level, with city-level and county-level votes periodically increasing budgets. In 2017, Oakland allocated the highest share of its general fund to policing nationwide, at 41 percent and $242.5 million. It is crucial to establish state-level and local-level bans on heightening police funds, while simultaneously redirecting budgets to the aforementioned alternatives. For-profit policing is a large culprit. Even though Governor Brown’s 2016 bill helped protect Californians from civil asset forfeitures, this is far from sufficient. As of 2020, 66.25% of forfeiture profits go to police—a C+ rating.

The Black Lives Matter Movement demands “acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police… We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive.” The McHarris’ conclusion states, “We need to reimagine public safety in ways that shrink and eventually abolish police and prisons while prioritizing education, housing, economic security, mental health and alternatives to conflict and violence.”

A persistent, genuine, and well-thought-out legislative effort to redirect police funds and end for-profit policing is imperative.

2. Abolish Legislative Police Protections

Murderers who wear a badge have consistently been given a free pass to decimate Black life. BLM “demand[s] accountability [for] those who are victims of police violence.”

It is vital to ensure that police officers are met with precisely the same consequences as their badgeless counterparts. Accountability has been denied to Black people for centuries, and it is crucial to impose legislative confirmation that accountability is ensured.

Campaign Zero is an organization dedicated to “limiting police interventions, improving community interactions, and ensuring accountability.”

They propose a solution of independent investigations. Because only 1% of all killings by police lead to an officer being charged with a crime, “independent investigations and prosecutions of police officers” must be mandated to eliminate biases. A broken system should not be evaluating itself.

3. Demilitarize the Police

Campaign Zero emphasizes that studies show how “more militarized police departments are significantly more likely to kill civilians.” Unfortunately, “the federal 1033 program transfers military weapons to police departments.”

Campaign Zero continues that to demilitarize, we must “prohibit cities and counties from using federal funds to purchase military equipment.”

California is not void of this indictment. In total, 41 MRAPs are in the possession of law enforcement agencies in California. All in all, California’s quantity of purchasing such outlandish and high-level military technology is unmatched: “In terms of cash value, California gets more 1033 gear than other states.”

Even though the LAPD has refused to take on more military equipment, they stated that “the department will replenish and replace” existing equipment. Such measures must be barred in an effort to eventually demilitarize the police force entirely in the long run.

Police departments should be restricted from using federal grant money to purchase military equipment, using the SWAT team, or conducting no-knock raids. Over-weaponized departments must reduce their use of weapon stockpiles, as “agencies should seek to return to the federal government the military equipment that has already been received” as places like San Jose already have.

The warranting is simple: “Military equipment naturally increases military-style training for said equipment. That training can increase the other dimensions of militarization,” contributing to the war-like mentality implicitly

enforced by the police, who have no place fighting wars against the most disenfranchised members of their communities.

I hope that our legislators can take tangible, policy-level initiatives to defend Black lives, something they have failed to do so up until this point. Please listen to the pleas of the Black entities listed above and countless others, and help give rise to a future where Black folks do not have to fear for their lives on a daily basis.

Sincerely but not silently,

Elyza Puerto

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, [your name]

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Sofia Fatima Abdul

Hello,

My name is [insert name]. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of the LosAngeles city budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending on Police.

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Alexis Weinhaus

Hello,

My name is Bianca. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of the Los Angelescity budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending on Police.

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Bianca Candeloro

Hello,

My name is [insert name]. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of the LosAngeles city budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending on Police.

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, [your name]

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Hannah

Hello,

My name is Thomas Cordell. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of the LosAngeles city budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending on Police.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Dear Ms. Wolcott,

I've seen many studies that show that the most effective way to curtail the police accelerationism that threatens our citizensnationwide is capping funding, providing outside oversight, and emphasizing de-escalation tactics, which currently don't evencomprise 10% of total training time for most U.S. police departments.

We need a budget that reflects our priorities and needs; a budget that addresses our housing crisis in all its forms, especiallyhousing our underprivileged and rent/mortgage forgiveness for our unemployed Angelinos in the midst of this unprecedentedpandemic.

Y'all have shown a clear desire to protect and care for our citizenry amidst the many crises of this year. Please direct fundswith a sense of empathy and opportunity instead of funneling them into power structures that have shown time and again tobe fundamentally flawed.

Thank you,

Sincerely,James Hayden421 South Lafayette Park PlaceLos Angeles, CA 90057

Fwd: WE DEMAND JUSTICE NOW.1 message

From: Izabella Hovhanisian <izabella.hovhanisian@lacity.org>To: City Clerk Council and Public Services <clerk.cps@lacity.org>At: Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 7:24 PM

---------- Forwarded message ---------From: julianne! <euphonicallyy@gmail.com>Date: Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 7:14 PMSubject: WE DEMAND JUSTICE NOW.To: <cityclerk@lacity.org>

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Julianne and I am a resident of Granada Hills, California. I am writing to demand the following legislative changes you can make to eradicate the decimation of Black people at the hands of police officers.

The following is a compilation of background information and implementation strategies for necessary legislative actions derived from collecting the pleas of Black organizers, activists, and journalists:

1. Redirect Police Funding

Phillip McHarris (doctoral candidate focusing on race) and Thenjiwe McHarris (strategist with the Movement for Black Lives) explain the problem with current police reform efforts:

“More training or diversity among police officers won’t end police brutality, nor will firing and charging individual officers. Look at the Minneapolis Police Department, which is held up as a model of progressive police reform. The department offers procedural justice as well as trainings for implicit bias, mindfulness and de-escalation. It embraces community policing and officer diversity, bans ‘warrior style’ policing, uses body cameras, implemented an early intervention system to identify problematic officers, receives training around mental health crisis intervention, and practices ‘reconciliation’ efforts in communities of color.” Evidently, that was not enough. Instead of heightening the resources that officers have, they advocate redirecting funds to alternative emergency response programs, which can also be fueled by state-level and local-level grants. The McHarris’ argument is that we should work towards a reality in which healthcare workers and emergency response teams should handle substance abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, or mental health cases, while rapid response social workers provide individuals with the care they need. Community organizers would be responsible for spearheading responses to the pandemic. “The average police recruit spends 58 hours learning how to shoot and only 8 hours learning how to de-escalate.” Police officers are not trained nor necessary in reacting to such crises—specialized responders are. Most police funding is budgeted and taxed at the local level, with city-level and county-level votes periodically increasing budgets. In 2017, Oakland allocated the highest share of its general fund to policing nationwide, at 41 percent and $242.5 million. It is crucial to establish state-level and local-level bans on heightening police funds, while simultaneously redirecting budgets to the aforementioned alternatives. For-profit policing is a large culprit. Even though Governor Brown’s 2016 bill helped protect Californians from civil asset forfeitures, this is far from sufficient. As of 2020, 66.25% of forfeiture profits go to police—a C+ rating.

The Black Lives Matter Movement demands “acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police… We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive.” The McHarris’ conclusion states, “We need to reimagine public safety in ways that shrink and eventually abolish police and prisons while prioritizing education, housing, economic security, mental health and alternatives to conflict and violence.”

A persistent, genuine, and well-thought-out legislative effort to redirect police funds and end for-profit policing is imperative.

2. Abolish Legislative Police Protections

Murderers who wear a badge have consistently been given a free pass to decimate Black life. BLM “demand[s] accountability [for] those who are victims of police violence.”

It is vital to ensure that police officers are met with precisely the same consequences as their badgeless counterparts. Accountability has been denied to Black people for centuries, and it is crucial to impose legislative confirmation that accountability is ensured.

Campaign Zero is an organization dedicated to “limiting police interventions, improving community interactions, and ensuring accountability.”

They propose a solution of independent investigations. Because only 1% of all killings by police lead to an officer being charged with a crime, “independent investigations and prosecutions of police officers” must be mandated to eliminate biases. A broken system should not be evaluating itself.

3. Demilitarize the Police

Campaign Zero emphasizes that studies show how “more militarized police departments are significantly more likely to kill civilians.” Unfortunately, “the federal 1033 program transfers military weapons to police departments.”

Campaign Zero continues that to demilitarize, we must “prohibit cities and counties from using federal funds to purchase military equipment.”

California is not void of this indictment. In total, 41 MRAPs are in the possession of law enforcement agencies in California. All in all, California’s quantity of purchasing such outlandish and high-level military technology is unmatched: “In terms of cash value, California gets more 1033 gear than other states.”

Even though the LAPD has refused to take on more military equipment, they stated that “the department will replenish and replace” existing equipment. Such measures must be barred in an effort to eventually demilitarize the police force entirely in the long run.

Police departments should be restricted from using federal grant money to purchase military equipment, using the SWAT team, or conducting no-knock raids. Over-weaponized departments must reduce their use of weapon stockpiles, as “agencies should seek to return to the federal government the military equipment that has already been received” as places like San Jose already have.

The warranting is simple: “Military equipment naturally increases military-style training for said equipment. That training can increase the other dimensions of militarization,” contributing to the war-like mentality implicitly enforced by the police, who have no place fighting wars against the most disenfranchised members of their communities.

I hope that our legislators can take tangible, policy-level initiatives to defend Black lives, something they have failed to do so up until this point. Please listen to the pleas of the Black entities listed above and countless others, and help give rise to a future where Black folks do not have to fear for their lives on a daily basis.

Sincerely but not silently,

The department offersprocedural justice as well as trainings for implicit bias, mindfulness and de-escalation. It embraces community policing andofficer diversity, bans ‘warrior style’ policing, uses body cameras, implemented an early intervention system to identifyproblematic officers, receives training around mental health crisis intervention, and practices ‘reconciliation’ efforts incommunities of color.”Evidently, that was not enough. Instead of heightening the resources that officers have, they advocate redirecting funds toalternative emergency response programs, which can also be fueled by state-level and local-level grants.

Dear Ms. Wolcott,

Now more than ever, we need a budget centered on humanity.

We need housing.We need healthcare.We need good jobs.We need healthy food.We need mental healthcare.We need free public transit.We need educational enrichment.We need small business resources.

We don’t need more police.

As an educator in LA, I want a budget that reflects our priorities and needs, including more services for unhoused Angelenos,including housing in the thousands of empty hotel rooms throughout the city; more mental health services; rent suspensionand forgiveness for the 55% of Angelenos who are currently unemployed; more funding for public schools and resources toensure all students — regardless of their situation — can continue learning during these uncertain times.

Thank you,

Sincerely,Minister J Faye Romain4125 5th AvenueLos Angeles, CA 90008

Phillip McHarris (doctoral candidate focusing on race) and Thenjiwe McHarris (strategist with the Movement for Black Lives) explain the problem with current police reform efforts:

“More training or diversity among police officers won’t end police brutality, nor will firing and charging individual officers. Look at the Minneapolis Police Department, which is held up as a model of progressive police reform. The department offers procedural justice as well as trainings for implicit bias, mindfulness and de-escalation. It embraces community policing and officer diversity, bans ‘warrior style’ policing, uses body cameras, implemented an early intervention system to identify problematic officers, receives training around mental health crisis intervention, and practices ‘reconciliation’ efforts in communities of color.” Evidently, that was not enough. Instead of heightening the resources that officers have, they advocate redirecting funds to alternative emergency response programs, which can also be fueled by state-level and local-level grants. The McHarris’ argument is that we should work towards a reality in which healthcare workers and emergency response teams should handle substance abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, or mental health cases, while rapid response social workers provide individuals with the care they need. Community organizers would be responsible for spearheading responses to the pandemic. “The average police recruit spends 58 hours learning how to shoot and only 8 hours learning how to de-escalate.” Police officers are not trained nor necessary in reacting to such crises—specialized responders are. Most police funding is budgeted and taxed at the local level, with city-level and county-level votes periodically increasing budgets. In 2017, Oakland allocated the highest share of its general fund to policing nationwide, at 41 percent and $242.5 million. It is crucial to establish state-level and local-level bans on heightening police funds, while simultaneously redirecting budgets to the aforementioned alternatives. For-profit policing is a large culprit. Even though Governor Brown’s 2016 bill helped protect Californians from civil asset forfeitures, this is far from sufficient. As of 2020, 66.25% of forfeiture profits go to police—a C+ rating.

The Black Lives Matter Movement demands “acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police… We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive.” The McHarris’ conclusion states, “We need to reimagine public safety in ways that shrink and eventually abolish police and prisons while prioritizing education, housing, economic security, mental health and alternatives to conflict and violence.”

A persistent, genuine, and well-thought-out legislative effort to redirect police funds and end for-profit policing is imperative.

2. Abolish Legislative Police Protections

Murderers who wear a badge have consistently been given a free pass to decimate Black life. BLM “demand[s] accountability [for] those who are victims of police violence.”

It is vital to ensure that police officers are met with precisely the same consequences as their badgeless counterparts. Accountability has been denied to Black people for centuries, and it is crucial to impose legislative confirmation that accountability is ensured.

Campaign Zero is an organization dedicated to “limiting police interventions, improving community interactions, and ensuring accountability.”

They propose a solution of independent investigations. Because only 1% of all killings by police lead to an officer being charged with a crime, “independent investigations and prosecutions of police officers” must be mandated to eliminate biases. A broken system should not be evaluating itself.

3. Demilitarize the Police

Campaign Zero emphasizes that studies show how “more militarized police departments are significantly more likely to kill civilians.” Unfortunately, “the federal 1033 program transfers military weapons to police departments.”

Campaign Zero continues that to demilitarize, we must “prohibit cities and counties from using federal funds to purchase military equipment.”

California is not void of this indictment. In total, 41 MRAPs are in the possession of law enforcement agencies in California. All in all, California’s quantity of purchasing such outlandish and high-level military technology is unmatched: “In terms of cash value, California gets more 1033 gear than other states.”

Even though the LAPD has refused to take on more military equipment, they stated that “the department will replenish and replace” existing equipment. Such measures must be barred in an effort to eventually demilitarize the police force entirely in the long run.

Police departments should be restricted from using federal grant money to purchase military equipment, using the SWAT team, or conducting no-knock raids. Over-weaponized departments must reduce their use of weapon stockpiles, as “agencies should seek to return to the federal government the military equipment that has already been received” as places like San Jose already have.

The warranting is simple: “Military equipment naturally increases military-style training for said equipment. That training can increase the other dimensions of militarization,” contributing to the war-like mentality implicitly

enforced by the police, who have no place fighting wars against the most disenfranchised members of their communities.

I hope that our legislators can take tangible, policy-level initiatives to defend Black lives, something they have failed to do so up until this point. Please listen to the pleas of the Black entities listed above and countless others, and help give rise to a future where Black folks do not have to fear for their lives on a daily basis.

Sincerely but not silently,

Jonathan Berg

Hello,

My name is Kaya Richards. I am a resident of Los Angeles County and I am emailing to demand the restructuring of the LosAngeles city budget, so as to prioritize more social services for communities, and to drastically minimize spending on Police.

I demand of the mayor, controller, and all city council members to prove their love and dedication to the people of their cityand reallocate funds to directly benefit those in need.

It is absolutely absurd that at $1,857,330,549, the police budget is larger than the allocations to the fire department, Office ofEmergency Management, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and the Housing and CommunityInvestment Agency combined.

Defunding the police and restructuring the budget is an absolute necessity now more than ever. There are 58,936DOCUMENTED houseless people in Los Angeles. There are healthcare workers without proper equipment. More than 30%of Los Angeles County residents have filed for unemployment.

While LAPD has more funding than it knows what to do with, there are communities who desperately need funding and everyday they don't receive it their quality of life worsens. Thousands have died who did not need to. You have the ability to changethis, so do it.

Sincerely, Kaya Richards

From: Anna Martinez <anna.martinez@lacity.org>To: City Clerk Council and Public Services <clerk.cps@lacity.org>At: Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 7:35 PM

---------- Forwarded message ---------From: James Hayden <jamesroberthayden@gmail.com>Date: Tue, Jun 2, 2020, 7:32 PMSubject: Fund services, not police!To: Ms. Holly Wolcott <cityclerk@lacity.org>

Dear Ms. Wolcott,

I've seen many studies that show that the most effective way to curtail the police accelerationism that threatens our citizensnationwide is capping funding, providing outside oversight, and emphasizing de-escalation tactics, which currently don't evencomprise 10% of total training time for most U.S. police departments.

We need a budget that reflects our priorities and needs; a budget that addresses our housing crisis in all its forms, especiallyhousing our underprivileged and rent/mortgage forgiveness for our unemployed Angelinos in the midst of this unprecedentedpandemic.

Y'all have shown a clear desire to protect and care for our citizenry amidst the many crises of this year. Please direct fundswith a sense of empathy and opportunity instead of funneling them into power structures that have shown time and again tobe fundamentally flawed.

Thank you,

Sincerely,James Hayden421 South Lafayette Park PlaceLos Angeles, CA 90057
