I’m gonna put my gun in your fucking face and once you <br />fucking reach for your waistband, I’m gonna fucking \[incomprehensible\], I’ll put your goddamn brains over the <br />fucking sidewalk, and I’ll call your fucking mom to \[incomprehensible\]. Does that make sense?” <br /> <br />City council met on October 15, 2024 to discuss the legal claims. Sixteen days later, on October 31, 2024, the <br />city manager signed both settlement agreements that had already been signed by all relevant parties. The <br />separate settlement amounts were $225,000 and $192,500 for Peiffer and Smith, respectively. <br /> <br />SAPD Public Information Officer Natalie Garcia did not respond to questions about the incident forwarded to <br />her. <br /> <br />The mayor and rest of city council did not respond to repeated requests for comment." <br /> <br />https://inadvertent.substack.com/p/cavendish-death-threat- <br />settlement?publication_id=3118624&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=2aru2r&utm_medium=email <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />
