The SAPD like other departments around our nation TERRORIZE our communities. People feel <br />like targets around the police. SAPD makes us feel more unsafe than safe. You should see how people feel like they’re <br />walking on eggshells around the police, because we’ve seen what the officers in this city are capable of doing. Police are <br />painted as heroes especially growing up as children but really as you realize that the departments have a gang mentality, <br />they’re domestic terrorists. They were just terrorizing the Townsend St. community back in November, with tanks in the <br />middle of the night. Terrorizing the community members and children. These people still had to get ready for the day <br />and send there kids to school. SAPD isn’t only one of the deadliest police departments in the country, but they are also <br />complicit to all the wrong doings of all the police departments. Why? Because they follow the same system, they are <br />products of the same system. Defund OUR cities police department NOW. It’s been long overdue, before this uprising <br />against police brutality Santa Ana residents have been calling for the defunding of the police department, but you don’t <br />listen. You don’t listen to the people you say you serve. Invest in more affordable housing, green spaces, community <br />spaces. Listen to the people. Black Lives Matter. No one is free until we are all free. <br /> <br />1 <br />
