<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:Kassandra Vargas <kassievargas7@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Thursday, June 18, 2020 3:59 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Regarding Items 75A & 85A <br />Good afternoon, <br /> <br />My name is Kassie Vargas and I demand that less funding should be allotted to the Santa Ana Police Department. There <br />have been too many instances where in which police brutally was committed or unwarranted encounters were made. <br />My partner has been pulled over just because of the way he looks and has to wear a hat in order to seem less suspicious <br />to the police officers in Santa Ana, a city he grew up in and loves. Officers and the department as a whole should be held <br />accountable for their actions, especially those that are taken due to their own biases, racism, unprofessionalism and <br />insensitivity. Funds should instead be given to services that will better support the community not just to punish them. <br />Services such as after school programs, housing security, Funds for food and clothing, mental health counseling etc. <br />would be a better way to use the money for the people of of Santa Ana. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Kassandra Vargas <br /> <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />1 <br />
