At the last council meeting, officers were called out for swearing at and using obscene gestures towards a council <br /> member. I would like to ask the Mayor and Chief of Police directly: What was done to address this blatant act of <br /> disrespect and insubordination by those officers? <br /> Removing the Police Oversight Commission's authority to investigate complaints and lawsuits independently would only <br /> embolden this culture of abuse and silence. Police officers are not above the law. They must be held accountable for <br /> their wrongdoings just like any other public servant or citizen. Allowing them to operate without independent oversight <br /> would be a grave injustice to the people of this city who deserve protection, fairness, and transparency. <br /> I urge you to reject any proposal that seeks to diminish the power of the Police Oversight Commission. Our community's <br /> safety depends not just on policing, but on ensuring those entrusted with such power do not abuse it without <br /> consequence. <br /> Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Stephanie Gray-Ward 6 resident <br /> z <br />
