Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  I have noticed that a full time police officer is being stationed on Embarcadero Road, near Greer St. The traffic on  Embarcadero is travelling about normal speed, particularly since many people are back to work. This is an unnecessary  use of resources and I would rather that money be spent on something useful for the community. If you terminate this  position, you would have ~$200k that could help in other, more important areas.    Also, please do not succumb to the ridiculous idea of defunding the Police. First you must start by reforming/breaking  ties with the POA Union, then training of officers. Many of you are beholden to them recieving financial support to

I am the African American mother of two mixed boys who are now 16. One of my sons was minding his own business at  a park in the evening. My son was called over by a policeman who didn’t identify himself as a policeman and my son  couldn’t see him clearly as it was dark. He just heard “hey kid, come over here”. My son, who was taught not to talk to  strangers, responded with “no”. The police officer said again, “kid, I said, get over here”. My son repeated “no”. It wasn’t  until the officer FINALLY said, “I'm not going to arrest you, I just want to talk to you”, that my son went over and as he  got closer he realized it was a policeman. He was so nervous, he could barely walk. My son apologized to the police  officer for not seeing him at first. The officer just wanted to let my son know this his friends should pick up their  beer  bottle, etc. My son who was not part of that group who had been drinking at the park , didn’t argue and said “okay”, and  my son picked up the beer bottles.    My point is not that the officer mistreated my son because he’s black, my point is: the officer did not identify himself as  a police officer right from the start. So imagine if my son got freaked out and started to run away scared of someone  calling out to him that he couldn’t see. He would have most likely been shot in the back by the police officer, because  that’s what happens and THAT’S the climate we now live in. When my son came home and told me this story, I told him  that this incident could have gone horribly wrong. My son did the right thing by not just simply going over to a complete  stranger that he couldn’t see, but the officer may have mistaken him for doing something wrong had he run away.    I’ve had to have multiple conversations with my boys about going to parties and if the police come, DO NOT RUN,  because you will be shot before a blond blue‐eyed boy will be. Of course, you say all of this is speculation and how  would I know this is true. I don’t, but I know that you can look at all of the cases thus far point to: make any move and  police will shoot. Heck, the police will shoot even if you don’t move.    Already, I’m telling my boys that they don’t have the rights their white counterparts do and there is a loss of freedom  here. Additionally, there is a fear that at any encounter with police could very well end up deadly. This can’t be the kind  of fear you want your residents to have do you. This can’t be the kind of reputation you want the Palo Alto Police to  have do you? The “police” nationwide have a bad reputation now whether or not they’ve engaged in police brutality. As  a City, how can we change that so that all residents feel safe in their community. What practices can the City put in  place?    I am asking the City of Palo Alto to adopt policies and best practices and additional police training to keep all of us safe  including boys and men of color as they seem to be more of a target for racial injustice. Human lives matter including  black lives. I would ask that the City Council consider 8can'twait recommended policies to ensure that police first do no  harm. As a resident of Palo Alto, I am begging you to protect your citizens including our sons of color.    Sincerely,    Toiya Black  5 Baumb, Nelly From:Lindsey North <lnorth_home@yahoo.com>

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear City Council members,     I am writing as someone who grew up in Palo Alto since 1992. I have long considered Palo Alto to be a safe, welcoming  community with an active spirit of innovation and leaving the world a better place. As I've grown older, the city has  changed, and the events of the past few weeks in particular shine a bright, ugly spotlight on aspects of our community  that myself and many other residents have been turning a blind eye to over the past many years. I am now no longer  under the illusion that Palo Alto is the "wholesome" community I upheld it to be, and I am writing to you as a citizen  demanding better of our leadership.    One of the first of many steps that I and my fellow citizens request of you is that Palo Alto Police Department (PAPD)  ends its relationship with Lexipol‐ the private, for‐profit company to which PAPD has outsourced its policy‐making  without any input from the community or transparency into the damage resulting from such appalling policies. These  policies have a clear goal: to protect PAPD from civil lawsuits, not to protect citizens from violation of their civil rights.     This direction of priorities is backwards, harmful, and wrong. I am not sure if it is laziness, lack of imagination, or other  inscrutable motive for outsourcing some of the most important rules of our community to Lexipol, but whatever the  reason, it is time to revisit this relationship and redesign it from the bottom up. The PAPD policies must instead align  with the values and priorities of keeping our community members of all skin colors (most especially Black residents), and  all economic statuses and all cultures of origin safe and respected. The Lexipol policies do not do this. I am sure you are  well‐aware of these problems already, but if not I encourage you to read background information such as this  informative article (link).     I look forward to seeing the updated progress and will be checking the outcome of this Sunday's city council meetings as  a first step in the conversation.    Thank you for your time,    Rachel        ‐‐   Rachel Wittenauer   email: rachel.wittenauer@gmail.com  15 Baumb, Nelly From:Sreya Eka Guha <sguha22@stanford.edu> Sent:Friday, June 12, 2020 1:14 PM To:Fine, Adrian; Council, City; City Mgr; Police Subject:Demand to Fire PAPD Officer Thomas DeStefano CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on  links.  ________________________________    Dear all,    My name is Sreya Guha and I am a resident of Los Altos Hills and a Stanford student. In addition, I have gone to schools  in Palo Alto my whole life. I am emailing you today to demand that Palo Alto Police Department officer Thomas  DeStefano be fired immediately. As we all know, DeStefano has a deeply disturbing history of violence against  community residents, specifically Julio Arevalo, Gustavo Alvarez and Tyler Harney. The Palo Alto Police Department and  the City of Palo Alto is entirely complicit in allowing this behavior, as PAPD refuses to release video footage from  DeStefano’s horrifying attack on Arevelo despite being mandated by law to do so.    Any statements you release are empty words until officers in Palo Alto are held accountable for their actions. I demand  to see swift action taken to remove DeStefano from your police force.    Sincerely,  Sreya Guha  16 Baumb, Nelly From:Mike Swenson <ms1ca@yahoo.com> Sent:Friday, June 12, 2020 11:20 PM To:Council, City; Human Relations Commission Subject:PA Police Reforms and firing Ofc.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Adrian Fine, Mayor of City of Palo Alto; Members of the City Council; Ed Shikada, City Manager; Robert Jonsen, Chief of Police and Human Relations Commission:    We have proudly lived in Palo Alto for nearly forty years and appreciate the progressive nature of our community.    The citizens and city government are now called upon to be progressive and innovative in the area of police reform.     At the last City Council meeting it was inspiring to hear the strong presentation of the younger members of our community regarding the need for police reform. We agreed with much of what was said. Please listen and them—they are the future.     Police Reform is an important issue for the health of our city. It will take a lot of thought and goodwill on both sides, but we can create a community/police model that is equitable. To ensure public safety and trust the city of Palo Alto must act boldly to guarantee black and brown members of our community receive equal treatment by the Palo Alto Police Department.    Three Recommendations:  1. Get rid of officers where there are consistent legitimate complaints of misconduct. A few bad actors can quickly sour reform efforts.  2.

I believe incarceration budgets should also be reduced. There is way too much attention given to police and imprisoning people in this country and in this state. Compared to the rest of the world we are a very cruel and punishment oriented society. Other countries think more in terms of helping people get along with productive lives rather than making career points and lots of profits arresting and incarcerating people as we do in this country. In case you don't know, on the street there are not only police murders like George, Brionna, Michael, Abner, Trevon, and on and on-- but also petty, mean things. Like cops who harass, roust, and rough up people for no apparent reason than prejudice, sport, and because they can. This happens quite often to homeless, black, poor, intoxicated, and people having seizures. The City of Palo Alto has been sued a number of times for such actions. The vast majority of times cops do this knowing they will get away with it. 23 Cops come out of the precinct and on duty jacked up on coffee, primed to defend themselves and their fellow police officers, and quite ready to attack anyone they think of as an enemy. Cops are very frightened. It controls and conditions their actions all shift long.   Also, how can anyone who claims to be in favor of law, order, transparency, and accountability NOT support a world wide data base of convicted cops. There is no such thing in this country. The teachers, attorneys, and doctors have their offenses catalogued and counted and the police don't. They can just slide into another department and go back to abusing citizens there. Why is that? Can we agree on no chokeholds, no harassment of black people, no Tasers, cams on ALL THE TIME (it's obvious in Palo Alto-- cops just leave them off, especially when abusing people), and police apologies to people they've wronged?   Chuck Jagoda    24 Baumb, Nelly From:Winter Dellenbach <wintergery@earthlink.net> Sent:Saturday, June 13, 2020 7:00 PM To:Council, City Subject:I encourage you to NOT support Implicit (or explicit) bias training - a waste of time and money CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Looking around at our neighbors, it's clear police reform does not work. Even in Palo Alto, we need to take radical action to address the situation we find ourselves in, or rather have been in for such a long time and to which we have not been paying attention. Councilors, as our elected representatives, you have a deep responsibility to take action in response to what's happening in our community. Please do not fail us. I listened to an hour-long interview yesterday with one of the two lawyers overseeing the federal management of Oakland Police Department. For the last seventeen years, they have been trying to reform that police department, and look at the results. Abysmal. Oakland Police Department has a horrible record. It's clear from this example that "reform" does not work. Reform is not enough There is too much room for maintaining the status quo. We need more. I just heard a report from San Jose of a young police trainer who was protesting in support of Black Lives Matter and was shot in the groin by San Jose police, rupturing one of his testicles. The police have apologized, but this should not have happened. Call it what you like - "defund the police" is a popular slogan - but police departments the length and breadth of the country need radical transformation. We need to start again. Yes, even in Palo Alto, we need to start again. You heard last week from the community. Ok, angry people breached civility guidelines in calling out particular behavior by specific officers. But you have to listen, and you have to act. I haven't seen what the city staff are proposing for discussion at tonight's meeting. That's disappointing, it doesn't bode well for a community discussion that needs to include transparency. Nevertheless, I ask that you all take strong and radical action to keep our community safe and fair for everyone. Especially for Black people. This is the most important work you can do at this time. I've lived in Palo Alto for about 30 years. At this moment we need to see action, not "the Palo Alto process". jeremy.

The reported claim is that the statute of limitations for filing charges has passed. Leaving aside the fact that blame for the delays in making a report lies at the feet of the City of Palo Alto Council, the City Manager, the Chief of Police, and members of PAPD (who have used administrative mechanisms, personnel records' privacy law, and qualified immunity law, among other means, to effect the delays): The statute of limitations has not expired. You have until 24 July 2020 to file charges, which is one year after the date when your Office was first made aware, not only of the actions by Officer Benitez, but also of the illegal actions by other officers during the 17 February 2018 incident, including failing to report, and falsifying reports, and illegal entry (there were no exigent circumstances which could allow officers to enter the Alvarez home without a warrant). The evidence is already known to you and your office. The video of the incident, revealed in July 2019, constitutes substantive evidence upon which criminal charges may be based. The deadline to file those charges has not yet passed, contrary to your published statements. I demand you file charges. Sincerely, Albert K Henning ======= Albert K.

REVISED June 15, 2020 Honorable Mayor Adrian Fine and Honorable Council Members 250 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, California 94301 Dear Mayor Fine and Council Members: The Human Relations Commission (HRC) mourns the death of George Floyd and shares Palo Alto citizens’ outrage over systemic racism. We concur with the Council’s June 8th Resolution. We are proud to have the opportunity to work with Council and Staff to do the depth of work necessary to bring an end to racism in our City: in our Police Force, in our operations, and in our codes. We recognize that the task requires thorough review, vision, collaboration, community engagement, and objectivity. The choices may not always be easy. However the HRC has a singular purpose to promote just and fair treatment of all people in Palo Alto. At our June 11th meeting, after comment from the public, the Commission began a discussion of the processes and actions to address racism in Palo Alto. We forward these priorities to Council: • Address the police use of force in Palo Alto. Specifically the 8 can’t wait policies be studied and implemented within 90 days. (Passed 4-1, Savage Nay) • Emphasize community engagement, begin promptly, with community partners, resulting in recommendations to Council in the second quarter of FY2021. (Passed 5-0) • Begin a diversity and inclusion initiative that starts with implicit and institutional bias training for all levels of city staff and commissions and includes a data-driven approach to achieve diversity and inclusion.(Passed 5-0) • Complete the proposed work immediately and look to longer term study, to make long term recommendations to Council. Study may include pilot programs, evaluation of data from earlier work and deeper study of the policies and procedures in the PAPD manual.(Passed 5-0) • Evaluate reinvestment of PAPD funds into Community Services Department in the FY2021 budget. (Passed 4-1, Savage Nay) • Open Foothills Park on a fair and equitable basis by August 6 2020.(Passed 5-0) • Adjust hiring policy to ban candidates and promotions of police staff, who have prior disciplinary actions. (Passed 4-1, Savage Nay) • Reinstate seven commissioners to the HRC to execute the level of work and to increase the diversity of opinion (Passed 4-1, Savage Nay) In resolutions and statements, the City of Palo Alto has expressed its intention to examine its history and practice, to engage Palo Alto in community dialogue, and step up to the changes needed to realize racial equity. The Human Relations Commission stands ready to do the study, to leverage community partners, to have the dialogue, to develop proposals for change so we can turn intention to real change.

Some of these incidents may be required to be made public by 1421, but we don’t believe that any officer behaviors should be kept secret. Keeping officer actions secret increases the likelihood of misconduct, and leads to public mistrust of police. 3. Many cities are considering the need for using community-based organizations to deal with issues such as mental health, learning disabilities, family conflicts, etc. Some cities already work with such agencies such as Eugene, Oregon. San Francisco’s Police Chief Scott recently said that he is willing to reallocate a portion of his budget for such activities. Many police departments are concerned that their officers are not trained for these conflicts. We are requesting that you officially incorporate this structural change into policing practices and allocate the funds to improve police awareness and community trust, and lower systemic racism.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Palo Alto City Council,    I am writing to you as a Palo Alto voter who is deeply concerned with the violence and misconduct done by the Palo Alto Police Department in recent years and the problematic systems that it helps to uphold.     Just in the past few years, the Palo Alto Police Department has been involved in grave acts of misconduct that not only violated residents’ rights, but resulted in violence. In 2019, a Palo Alto officer attacked an innocent resident. Not only was this physical attack obscene and uncalled for, but remarks made by the officer showed extremely concerning connections to homophobia. Furthermore, recent reports show that multiple ranked Palo Alto Police officers have made explicitly racist statements against Black people. Proving there are deep issues within the department the city deems is keeping residents safe.     In 2013 and 2019, Palo Alto police officers gravely mishandled health crises and delayed essential medical attention for the sake of needless investigation. This is not keeping our community safe, it is endangering lives.   Instituting reforms to limit use of force and promote de-escalation are great starts, but those acts in themselves cannot address the fact of the systemic issues that plague our current system of policing. Continuing to use armed police with minimal training in the various fields as a one-size-fits-all response has only created more problems that cost the City millions in legal fees.     We can look at examples like the RIGHT Care program in Dallas, Texas, and the rethinking of 911 responses in Eugene, Oregon, as great starts. In these programs, dispatches for 911 calls responding to mental health concerns shifted from police to responses centering counselors which has proven to save lives. I urge you to follow in these footsteps of these cities and also look to the City of Minneapolis which is currently exploring what the future of public safety looks like without traditional policing.     These may seem like idealistic solutions, but I would like to remind you of Palo Alto’s location in Silicon Valley, a global hub for innovation. Our city should embrace that innovative mindset in finding less violent methods to keep our community safe, that go beyond policing. Social workers and trained public health counselors should be the ones responding to 911 calls in our city instead of armed police officers who instill fear in our communities, have shown to resort to violence easily, and have a past of delaying and preventing essential medical attention to our residents when in need.    In summary, I call the City Council to immediately address concerns of racism within the Police Department, commit to working with local community activists in developing public safety approaches centered in public health rather than violence, and divert moneys to be allocated to the Police Department to fund public health approaches to public safety. Action beyond minor reforms and resolutions in support of Black lives is needed to make Palo Alto a truly just and equitable city for all.     Thank you,     Eli Craveiro Frankel (he/him/his)  Palo Alto, CA 94303  4 Baumb, Nelly From:Rayme Adzema <raymejareau@gmail.com> Sent:Sunday, June 14, 2020 9:44 PM To:Council, City Subject:Support for Black Lives Matter CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on  links.  ________________________________    Dear City Council,    I would like to voice my support for the Black Lives Matter street mural on Hamilton Street. This is a small but concrete  step Palo Alto, a historically unfriendly environment for people of color, can take to move into a new era.    Of course we must all do more and this is just a first step but we must do something and this street mural is supported  by the community via the change.org petition.    Thank you for your consideration.    Rayme Waters  1280 Pine Street  Palo Alto 94301        Sent from my iPhone  Redacted 5 Baumb, Nelly From:E Nigenda <enigenda1@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, June 15, 2020 8:35 AM To:Council, City; Shikada, Ed Subject:Re: CC Agenda Item 10 - Framework and Workplan to Address Systemic racism CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

This is in response to President Donald Trump’s planned rally the same day in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Juneteenth is a day many Americans celebrate to commemorate the end of slavery. Senator Kamala Harris’ has expressed that by holding a rally on this day in Tulsa, Oklahoma the site of the June 1921 Black Wall Street Massacre, one of the worst incidents of racial violence in American history - this rally is an attempt to send an overwhelmingly positive motion of strength to white supremacists. We have a civic duty to protect all members of our community, and that means taking a stand against white nationalism.     I strongly ask that on Juneteenth when President Trump will be signaling support to white nationalists across the country that, Palo Alto states white supremacy has no place in our community, and paints one of our main streets with the message, “Black Lives Matter” to show we are committed to protecting every member of our community.    Let this be the first action of many structural changes our progressive city makes to be welcoming to every community.   Thank you for your leadership during these trying times!    Katie Causey    ‐‐    Pronouns: She/Her/Hers | 庄可欣//莊可欣  1 Baumb, Nelly From:Stefania Pomponi <stefania@realclever.com> Sent:Thursday, June 11, 2020 4:52 PM To:Council, City Subject:Message from the City Council Home Page CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Jeff Conrad Palo Alto Comment for the June 15, 2020 Palo Alto City Council Meeting Police Department Policy Manual Redactions Mayor Fine, Council Members, City Manager Shikada, Chief Jonsen, and City Attorney Stump: I am pleased that the City of Palo Alto recognizes the need for police reforms. �ough I don’t specifically advocate for the “8 Can’t Wait” proposal, I support its elements, and actually would go considerably further. I am especially pleased at the proposal for civilian review of police policy; this should be standard practice for every law enforcement agency in the United States. Presumably, the Police Department Policy Manual forms the basis for actual policy. �e current Policy Manual has many good points, but also many that need improvement. A substantive discussion is a topic for another time, hopefully one that will be specifically on the agenda for a Council meeting in the near future. Civilian control of the military and police is an essential element of American democracy. But without reasonable transparency, oversight is impossible. And the redactions listed on the second page of the publicly available version of the policy manual—19 complete sections—boggle the mind. It may be reasonable for some material to not be made public, but I simply cannot see how any of the cited sections of the California Government Code justify such extensive redactions. Moreover, these redactions go far beyond those made by nearby agencies such as the Redwood City Police Department and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s department. Suffice it to say that this is not how to make government transparent. �is obviously isn’t something to be resolved overnight. But I put the question to City Manager Shikada, Chief Jonsen, and City Attorney Stump: please give the reason for each redaction as well as the section of the Government Code that supports it. Hopefully, most of the redactions can be reduced or eliminated. And hopefully, this will be part of a much broader discussion of what policing in Palo Alto needs to look like going forward.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear Mayor Fine, I very much appreciate your asking Chief Jonsen about the extensive redactions in the Palo Alto Police Department Policy Manual at Monday’s City Council meeting. But I don’t think Chief Jonsen came close to answering the question. Rather, he made vague reference to the redacted sections describing “tactics.” The sections of the California Government Code cited as authority for the redactions (attached) are pretty specific, and it is not clear how any of them would justify the redactions in the manual. GC § 6254 subdivisions (aa) and (ab) relate to vulnerability to a terrorist attack and to critical infrastructure, respectively; § 6254.19 relates to information security; I’m not quite sure how to describe § 6254 subdivision (f), but it is difficult to see how it relates to most of the redacted sections. So I repeat the questions I submitted yesterday, but more specifically:  Why are the redactions in Palo Alto’s manual so much more extensive than those in Redwood City’s and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department’s manuals?  For each redacted section: 1. What specific section of the Government Code justifies the redaction? 2. How does the applicable section justify the redaction? I direct these questions to whomever may be appropriate. Although there undoubtedly is material that should not be made public, I simply cannot find any authority for the extensive redactions that have been made. One simple example: Search and Seizure. The RCPD and SMCSD manuals may not describe everything that is known, but what they do have is stellar in comparison with Palo Alto’s manual, which has nothing. If this is transparency, I don’t understand what the term means. Residents of Palo Alto deserve better. Sincerely, Jeff Conrad Palo Alto State of California GOVERNMENT CODE Section 6254 6254.

(ii) After 45 days from the date the agency knew or reasonably should have known about the incident, and up to one year from that date, the agency may continue to delay disclosure of a recording if the agency demonstrates that disclosure would substantially interfere with the investigation.After one year from the date the agency knew or reasonably should have known about the incident, the agency may continue to delay disclosure of a recording only if the agency demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that disclosure would substantially interfere with the investigation.

The agency shall reassess withholding and notify the requester every 30 days. A recording withheld by the agency shall be disclosed promptly when the specific basis for withholding is resolved. (B) (i) If the agency demonstrates, on the facts of the particular case, that the public interest in withholding a video or audio recording clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure because the release of the recording would, based on the facts and circumstances depicted in the recording, violate the reasonable expectation of privacy of a subject depicted in the recording, the agency shall provide in writing to the requester the specific basis for the expectation of privacy and the public interest served by withholding the recording and may use redaction technology, including blurring or distorting images or audio, to obscure those specific portions of the recording that protect that interest. However, the redaction shall not interfere with the viewer’s ability to fully, completely, and accurately comprehend the events captured in the recording and the recording shall not otherwise be edited or altered. (ii) Except as provided in clause (iii), if the agency demonstrates that the reasonable expectation of privacy of a subject depicted in the recording cannot adequately be protected through redaction as described in clause (i) and that interest outweighs the public interest in disclosure, the agency may withhold the recording from the public, except that the recording, either redacted as provided in clause (i) or unredacted, shall be disclosed promptly, upon request, to any of the following: (I) The subject of the recording whose privacy is to be protected, or their authorized representative.

(III) If the subject whose privacy is to be protected is deceased, an heir, beneficiary, designated immediate family member, or authorized legal representative of the deceased subject whose privacy is to be protected. (iii) If disclosure pursuant to clause (ii) would substantially interfere with an active criminal or administrative investigation, the agency shall provide in writing to the requester the specific basis for the agency’s determination that disclosure would substantially interfere with the investigation, and provide the estimated date for the disclosure of the video or audio recording.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Hello Councilmembers,    My friend escaped her abuser just over two weeks ago. I used to think that police were necessary for domestic violence  calls and that they were especially crucial now that domestic violence has gone up during shelter in place. My friend's  story changed my mind, which is why I'm sharing it.     She lives in a different state, so this isn't about PAPD specifically but just about the role of policing. At the beginning of  shelter in place she just casually mentioned that she had gone to her husband's house to ask him to sign some divorce  papers and that he blocked her car in so she couldn't leave, citing coronavirus as the reason why she shouldn't leave the  house. The National Domestic Violence Hotline gave me a number of reasons why calling the police can do more harm  than good. They help each caller assess whether they should call the police and what exactly they should say in order to  be taken seriously.    I've learned a lot over the past two and a half months about the set of skills needed to help someone get out of a  domestic abuse situation. It's frankly, mostly trauma‐informed emotional labor that gets the job done. That, and gas  money. After two and a half months of hard work, my friend is safely at her adoptive father's house and the husband  finally signed the divorce papers. Here's the bad news: She, not the husband, spent a night in jail. She, not the husband,  had a restraining order taken out against her and, she ‐ not the husband ‐ is due in court next week to answer for an  assault charge.     My friend's situation is far from unique ‐ the police are not especially good at figuring out who is the primary aggressor,  and so they may arrest the victim or both people involved. If my friend had been black instead of white, chances go up  that she or her partner could have been killed or sentenced to prison, instead of simply receiving a minor assault charge.    Therefore, instead of giving more work for the police to handle during lockdown, I would encourage us to find non‐ policing ways of handling domestic abuse.     Every day, community‐based organizations across California are successfully responding to all types of emergency  situations. The C.R.I.S.E.S. (Community Response Initiative to Strengthen Emergency Systems) ‐ Act AB 2054 will create a  pilot grant program for community‐based response to local emergencies like domestic abuse. I realize this is at the state  level but I urge us ‐ for one ‐ to support the funding of this statewide legislation and, secondly, to adopt a similar  ordinance at the local level.     I almost shared this comment last night at the council meeting but wasn't sure if the very personal nature of the  comment would be appropriate for that forum. I stayed up with y'all till after 1am, though, listening, during which time I  found out that HRC will also be involved in some capacity so I've copied them on this email in case they find this  anecdote useful.    I don't know if we can get a local push for support of passage and funding of AB 2054, or whose role that falls under, but  I'd like to help any local org with built up capacity if there is an appropriate group to work with.  3   Thanks for all your work,  Kat Snyder  Palo Alto Resident  Paly Class of 2002  4 Baumb, Nelly From:nllwang@yahoo.com Sent:Tuesday, June 16, 2020 12:52 PM To:Council, City Subject:Should Palo Alto City have a police department? (YES) CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  Dear council of Palo Alto: As a 25 years resident of Palo Alto, it's shocking to read a news on Palo Alto Online that the city council is even considering whether the city needs a police department. Palo Alto police department demonstrated great professionalism keeping Palo Alto a safe and open city to all. I support constant update of policy, guideline, and training, in order to cope with the ever changing society. But elimination of the police department is totally insane, especially without any preview of the needs of the community.

Ridgeway;s partner in crime. They are running big scam over at the plat Shopping center accross from Markham Plaza. I bet the HUD fuding that they werew trying to embezzle was being laundered into security contract at The Plant Shopping Center & Ridgeway & Leininger were in the think of it. By flooding the neigborhood with guns, they create more crime. San Jose Police Officer Michael Johnson died while doing his job! We must make sure he did not die in vein!! In this video, they are singing about the guns, crime and money. ( RIP Officer Micheal Johnson ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX06c62xlMI More crime means more money for security contract & more people being arressted. Then they send the criminal defendents to McComas & the public defender & Ridgeway gives them kickbacks by installing free alarm systems. The Gilroy cops are notorious for conficating dope from evidence room & pumping it back into the streets. I bet McComas is wrapped up i that scandal too!!!!! If the Public Defender & Sylvia Persez won't investigate & SDAP sabataged Habeas & also did not investigate, then we need to investigate it ourselves & ask the public to help!!!! If they won't allow evidence and testimony in the record, then we wil send it out to hundreds of tousands of peole on thei intternet. What coice do we have?

According to the SIAC, at least from I can tell, it had nothing to do with the ADT security sytem at Detective Carrolls house. This was nothing but a big smoke screen. More fabrigated bulshit concocted by Angela Bernhard at the DA's office trying to cover her ass after being caught covering up murders. The San Jose Police were using what's called a verifiedc respose system to have an excuse not to respond to alams so that Brett Moiseff could murder people like Kelly Danner. This all ties on to what Robert Ridgeway was ding when he would deacivate specific security cameras at Markham Plaza. Its a pattern for them & part of their cscam. When Frank Carpenito died, Franks girl friend tried to pull the video ond the detective from Santa Clara PD said it wasn't available. Last but not least, Deputy District attorney Barbara Cathcart claims she can't find the video saying "Andrew Crittenden" was staying at Markham Plaza during the attacks when Robert Moss got killed. They gave me a number for this lady named Courney. She works for SIAC but I don't knowwhat she does. She explain it to you better than me. Her number is 847) 405-4032. Angela Bernhard made this stuff up beause her ass was on the line in for coverig up Robert Moss's murder snd causing officer Michael Johnson to get killed 8 There is no little doubt that Brian McComas was bribed to keep this shit under wraps. We need ramp this up & tstart investigating his family in Idho and all these properties McComas is connected to in San Francisco. The only reason why they would flip out about Carroll's alam system is if somethig was fishy. I am willing to bet that Robert Ridgeway was the one who installed the alam, just like the cameras at Markham Plaza and the Plant Shopping center. We will getto the bottom of it. Help pass this inforation along to the public & see if anyoe knows anything. 9 If we know what kind of alam systems these people use, then perhaps we can find out if they recieved the alarm systems from Ridgeway as a form of bribe. 10 * 607 Oak St. San Francisco, Ca. - purchased approximately 2003 by 406-10-12 Realty Corp. & 400 W. 22 St. Corp. * 994-98 Guerrero St.San Francisco, Ca. - 12/23/2011 * 925 Pierce St.San Francisco, Ca. - 8/17/2009 * 88-98 Castro St.San Francisco, Ca. - 7/17/2007 * 452 Oak St San Francisco, Ca. . - 5/6/2004 * 425 Shrader St. San Francisco, Ca. - 6/15/2007 * 390 Page St, San Francisco, Ca. - Property Lien 2/20/2020 * 3901-09 17th St. San Francisco, Ca. - 10/9/2013 * 3700 16th St. San Francisco, Ca. - 11/9/2011 * 350 Laguna Honda Blvd.San Francisco, Ca. ��� 12/9/2005 * 2260 Market St. San Francisco, Ca. - 6/28/2012 * 2256-58 Market St. San Francisco, Ca. - 6/28/2012 * 201 Waller St.San Francisco, Ca. - 11/27/2013 * 178-180 Church St. - 6/23/2006 * 133-35 Collingwood St. San Francisco, Ca. - 4/5/2004 * 1040 Ashbury St. San Francisco, Ca. - 6/16/2011 * 561 Baker Street , San Francisco, Ca. - 11 units (Checks were made payable to Norcal Holdings LH&R , Jeremy Sent: Saturday, June 06, 2020 at 5:18 AM From: "Jeremy Pruitt" <jeremy4justice@activist.com> To: galaxy_454@yahoo.com Cc: markhamplazata@gmail.com, heidi.yauman@heidiyauman.com, cindy.alvarez@mail.com, contact@tedgunderson.info, ted@tedgunderson.com, kaywg2372@gmail.com, celliot087@gmail.com, senior.affairs@groupmail.net Subject: Robert Lightbourne - Central Intelegence Agency Here is photo of Robet Lightboure, the CIA operative who helped to establish the Jamaican Shower Posse Cartel.

Case: 19016407 But my bail is higher than Derek Chauvin's his bail was only $500,000 for Murder. Mine was @ $750,000, and I have no criminal record. I'm appalled that this is happening, furthermore Sgt. Michele Martinez #1208 just issued a Search Warrant after over 7 months of illegally seizing the incorrect phone and totally misrepresented her Probable Cause Statement this is your office, how is this happening? Why am I getting so many Search Warrants, no one is stalking anyone, it's disgusting that the SFPD and the DA's office will help the Thygesen family, Google Executives. When are the police going to be held accountable for selective prosecution? I have the highest bail in history for charges of "Stalking", as in trying to serve the white Menlo park man who abducted my infant son? It's so egregious. I also live in Utah, why are the SFPD and your DA offices prosecuting out of state cases, on top of that Walker Stone the fake alleged victim lives in Alabama. I know there is significant discrimination again blacks and brown [people, but your office was really prejudicial to me, I am scared for my life, my parents have already depleted their entire retirement fund, we cannot afford another $750,000 Bail, and Sgt.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.  We figured out part of how their scam works with the burglar alarms. According to the SIAC, at least from I can tell, it had nothing to do with the ADT security sytem at Detective Carrolls house. This was nothing but a big smoke screen. More fabrigated bulshit concocted by Angela Bernhard at the DA's office trying to cover her ass after being caught covering up murders. The San Jose Police were using what's called a verifiedc respose system to have an excuse not to respond to alams so that Brett Moiseff could murder people like Kelly Danner. This all ties on to what Robert Ridgeway was ding when he would deacivate specific security cameras at Markham Plaza. Its a pattern for them & part of their cscam. When Frank Carpenito died, Franks girl friend tried to pull the video ond the detective from Santa Clara PD said it wasn't available. Last but not least, Deputy District attorney Barbara Cathcart claims she can't find the video saying "Andrew Crittenden" was staying at Markham Plaza during the attacks when Robert Moss got killed. They gave me a number for this lady named Courney. She works for SIAC but I don't knowwhat she does. She explain it to you better than me. Her number is 847) 405- 4032. Angela Bernhard made this stuff up beause her ass was on the line in for coverig up Robert Moss's murder snd causing officer Michael Johnson to get killed There is no little doubt that Brian McComas was bribed to keep this shit under wraps. We need ramp this up & tstart investigating his family in Idho and all these properties McComas is connected to in San Francisco. 21 The only reason why they would flip out about Carroll's alam system is if somethig was fishy. I am willing to bet that Robert Ridgeway was the one who installed the alam, just like the cameras at Markham Plaza and the Plant Shopping center. We will getto the bottom of it. Help pass this inforation along to the public & see if anyoe knows anything. 22 If we know what kind of alam systems these people use, then perhaps we can find out if they recieved the alarm systems from Ridgeway as a form of bribe. 23 * 607 Oak St. San Francisco, Ca. - purchased approximately 2003 by 406-10-12 Realty Corp. & 400 W. 22 St. Corp. * 994-98 Guerrero St.San Francisco, Ca. - 12/23/2011 * 925 Pierce St.San Francisco, Ca. - 8/17/2009 * 88-98 Castro St.San Francisco, Ca. - 7/17/2007 * 452 Oak St San Francisco, Ca. . - 5/6/2004 * 425 Shrader St. San Francisco, Ca. - 6/15/2007 * 390 Page St, San Francisco, Ca. - Property Lien 2/20/2020 * 3901-09 17th St. San Francisco, Ca. - 10/9/2013 * 3700 16th St. San Francisco, Ca. - 11/9/2011 * 350 Laguna Honda Blvd.San Francisco, Ca. ��� 12/9/2005 * 2260 Market St. San Francisco, Ca. - 6/28/2012 * 2256-58 Market St. San Francisco, Ca. - 6/28/2012 * 201 Waller St.San Francisco, Ca. - 11/27/2013 * 178-180 Church St. - 6/23/2006 * 133-35 Collingwood St. San Francisco, Ca. - 4/5/2004 * 1040 Ashbury St. San Francisco, Ca. - 6/16/2011 * 561 Baker Street , San Francisco, Ca. - 11 units (Checks were made payable to Norcal Holdings LH&R , Jeremy Sent: Saturday, June 06, 2020 at 5:18 AM From: "Jeremy Pruitt" <jeremy4justice@activist.com> To: galaxy_454@yahoo.com Cc: markhamplazata@gmail.com, heidi.yauman@heidiyauman.com, cindy.alvarez@mail.com, contact@tedgunderson.info, ted@tedgunderson.com, kaywg2372@gmail.com, celliot087@gmail.com, senior.affairs@groupmail.net Subject: Robert Lightbourne - Central Intelegence Agency Here is photo of Robet Lightboure, the CIA operative who helped to establish the Jamaican Shower Posse Cartel.

Case: 19016407 But my bail is higher than Derek Chauvin's his bail was only $500,000 for Murder. Mine was @ $750,000, and I have no criminal record. I'm appalled that this is happening, furthermore Sgt. Michele Martinez #1208 just issued a Search Warrant after over 7 months of illegally seizing the incorrect phone and totally misrepresented her Probable Cause Statement this is your office, how is this happening? Why am I getting so many Search Warrants, no one is stalking anyone, it's disgusting that the SFPD and the DA's office will help the Thygesen family, Google Executives. When are the police going to be held accountable for selective prosecution? I have the highest bail in history for charges of "Stalking", as in trying to serve the white Menlo park man who abducted my infant son? It's so egregious. I also live in Utah, why are the SFPD and your DA offices prosecuting out of state cases, on top of that Walker Stone the fake alleged victim lives in Alabama. I know there is significant discrimination again blacks and brown [people, but your office was really prejudicial to me, I am scared for my life, my parents have already depleted their entire retirement fund, we cannot afford another $750,000 Bail, and Sgt. Martinez is still going through all my stuff, with NO PROBABLE CAUSE. P.S. Michele Martinez in CBS article attached shows Michele Martinez has a history in false probable cause incident reports.

(B) Subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 841.5 of the Penal Code, the names and images of a victim of human trafficking, as defined in Section 236.1 of the Penal Code, and of that victim’s immediate family, other than a family member who is charged with a criminal offense arising from the same incident, may be withheld at the victim’s request until the investigation or any subsequent prosecution is complete.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, commencing July 1, 2019, a video or audio recording that relates to a critical incident, as defined in subparagraph (C), may be withheld only as follows: (A) (i) During an active criminal or administrative investigation, disclosure of a recording related to a critical incident may be delayed for no longer than 45 calendar days after the date the agency knew or reasonably should have known about the incident, if, based on the facts and circumstances depicted in the recording, disclosure would substantially interfere with the investigation, such as by endangering the safety of a witness or a confidential source. If an agency delays disclosure pursuant to this paragraph, the agency shall provide in writing to the requester the specific basis for the agency’s determination that disclosure would substantially interfere with the investigation and the estimated date for disclosure. (ii) After 45 days from the date the agency knew or reasonably should have known about the incident, and up to one year from that date, the agency may continue to delay disclosure of a recording if the agency demonstrates that disclosure would substantially interfere with the investigation.After one year from the date the agency knew or reasonably should have known about the incident, the agency may continue to delay disclosure of a recording only if the agency demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that disclosure would substantially interfere with the investigation. If an agency delays disclosure pursuant to this clause, the agency shall promptly provide in writing to the requester the specific basis for the agency’s determination that the interest in preventing interference with an active investigation outweighs the public interest in disclosure and provide the estimated date for the disclosure. The agency shall reassess withholding and notify the requester every 30 days. A recording withheld by the agency shall be disclosed promptly when the specific basis for withholding is resolved. (B) (i) If the agency demonstrates, on the facts of the particular case, that the public interest in withholding a video or audio recording clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure because the release of the recording would, based on the facts and circumstances depicted in the recording, violate the reasonable expectation of privacy of a subject depicted in the recording, the agency shall provide in writing to the requester the specific basis for the expectation of privacy and the public interest served by withholding the recording and may use redaction technology, including blurring or distorting images or audio, to obscure those specific portions of the recording that protect that interest. However, the redaction shall not interfere with the viewer’s ability to fully, completely, and accurately comprehend the events captured in the recording and the recording shall not otherwise be edited or altered. (ii) Except as provided in clause (iii), if the agency demonstrates that the reasonable expectation of privacy of a subject depicted in the recording cannot adequately be protected through redaction as described in clause (i) and that interest outweighs the public interest in disclosure, the agency may withhold the recording from the public, except that the recording, either redacted as provided in clause (i) or unredacted, shall be disclosed promptly, upon request, to any of the following: (I) The subject of the recording whose privacy is to be protected, or their authorized representative. (II) If the subject is a minor, the parent or legal guardian of the subject whose privacy is to be protected. (III) If the subject whose privacy is to be protected is deceased, an heir, beneficiary, designated immediate family member, or authorized legal representative of the deceased subject whose privacy is to be protected. (iii) If disclosure pursuant to clause (ii) would substantially interfere with an active criminal or administrative investigation, the agency shall provide in writing to the requester the specific basis for the agency’s determination that disclosure would substantially interfere with the investigation, and provide the estimated date for the disclosure of the video or audio recording. Thereafter, the recording may be withheld by the agency for 45 calendar days, subject to extensions as set forth in clause (ii) of subparagraph (A). (C) For purposes of this paragraph, a video or audio recording relates to a critical incident if it depicts any of the following incidents: (i) An incident involving the discharge of a firearm at a person by a peace officer or custodial officer. (ii) An incident in which the use of force by a peace officer or custodial officer against a person resulted in death or in great bodily injury. (D) An agency may provide greater public access to video or audio recordings than the minimum standards set forth in this paragraph. (E) This paragraph does not alter, limit, or negate any other rights, remedies, or obligations with respect to public records regarding an incident other than a critical incident as described in subparagraph (C). (F) For purposes of this paragraph, a peace officer does not include any peace officer employed by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. (g) Test questions, scoring keys, and other examination data used to administer a licensing examination, examination for employment, or academic examination, except as provided for in Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 99150) of Part 65 of Division 14 of Title 3 of the Education Code. (h) The contents of real estate appraisals or engineering or feasibility estimates and evaluations made for or by the state or local agency relative to the acquisition of property, or to prospective public supply and construction contracts, until all of the property has been acquired or all of the contract agreement obtained. However, the law of eminent domain shall not be affected by this provision. (i) Information required from any taxpayer in connection with the collection of local taxes that is received in confidence and the disclosure of the information to other persons would result in unfair competitive disadvantage to the person supplying the information. (j) Library circulation records kept for the purpose of identifying the borrower of items available in libraries, and library and museum materials made or acquired and presented solely for reference or exhibition purposes. The exemption in this subdivision shall not apply to records of fines imposed on the borrowers. (k) Records, the disclosure of which is exempted or prohibited pursuant to federal or state law, including, but not limited to, provisions of the Evidence Code relating to privilege. (l) Correspondence of and to the Governor or employees of the Governor’s office or in the custody of or maintained by the Governor’s LegalAffairs Secretary. However, public records shall not be transferred to the custody of the Governor’s LegalAffairs Secretary to evade the disclosure provisions of this chapter.
