I'm calling on @MayorJenny to de-militarize police; restrict use of excessive or deadly force; increase accountability in police union contracts; give subpoena powers to independent oversight boards; redirect PD $ to community-based alternatives. #blacklivesmatter#georgefloyd
I asked the Mayor directly in a meeting with legislators last week about the violence being instigated by the police, and her response to me was dismissive. Now I am asking her publicly through this letter to take action. #blacklivesmatter#georgefloyd
