I am shocked by the misconduct of the Santa Ana Police department. SAPD has the highest <br />number of fatal shootings in Orange County with 27 shootings per 324,568 residents and is one of the deadliest <br />police departments in the county. During the recent BLACI{ LIVES MATTER protests Santa Ana Police were <br />firing rubber bullets directly at citizens. Rubber bullets are not meant to be shot directly at people and yet this is <br />exactly what your officers were doing. The evidence is on video and all over the internet. These examples are <br />why I think that we should have a police oversight committee so that we can hold police that are abusing their <br />power accountable. I do not want to be the next victim of police brutality. <br />Thank you for taking the time to read this. <br />
