Not only are pay and benefits low, the officers need to know that the Council and elected leaders support their efforts to protect and serve. Our officers need to be well compensated but also know from the beginning of their career what is expected of them as police officers here in this city.

Absolutely not. The are the only line of protection between law abiding citizens and the thugs that the city administration so dearly loves and protects.

The city needs to hire more LEO's to keep track of the blooming homeless population, that the city keeps enabling. The State of the City address will ask for more money for the homeless amid a Police shortage crisis. The mayor will arrive in a clown car with other clowns.

Police in this town run roughshod over POC and unhomed communities. They prioritize pursuing poor people over solving crimes that have actual victims. Disparate stop data has only gotten worse over the decade I've lived here. #defundthepolice
