I am dreading the biased 'protest report' by Asst City Manager, M. Dahoney, Chief Williams' boss, & the same man that brought us the COMPLETELY useless OAT policy. The city's collusion with PPD and MCAO on political prosecutions has harmed so many. These charges could result in 40 years in a cage for people who exercised their 1st amendment rights. Dahoney will give a sparkling report of PD's conduct and completely ignore the violence PD used against demonstrators. This is NONSENSE city council.
The protests aren’t the problem. We don’t need a ‘protest update.’ We need an update on what is being done to reduce the harm and power the Phoenix Police Department abuses to attack, arrest, and kill our community. That is what the community needs. We are asking council members to stop aligning with one of the most violent forces in the nation and instead stand in solidarity with the people
In recent protests (against police brutality), PPD arrested 3 children and a dozen adults. They are now facing felony street gang charges and could be sentenced to years in prison for simply exercising their first amendment rights! We are allowed to assemble and speak out against the nationally acknowledged violence from Phoenix PD. City Council, I implore you to look out for your constituents and prioritize their welfare!!!
PPD and MCAO have charged protesters with gang related charges. This is in conflict with our 1st Ammendment free speech rights and nothing more than an attempt to frighten and thwart protests. I ask this counsel and the Mayor to stand with us and protest these draconian measures.
Please ammend this agenda in the notes to strike the last sentence on page one. It is nonsensical to list everyday items as some kind of tools for criminal activity, my 7 year old granddaughter has a cell.
The protests are not the problem. This is a smokescreen by the city government and City Council to distract from their inaction on police brutality, racism, poverty, and Coronavirus.
Police have wasted over $12M in taxpayer dollars by saturating peaceful marches with expensive equipment and hundreds of extra officers. While protests that align with their white supremacist structural beliefs, with firearms and no masks during a pandemic, have resulted in no action at all from them. City Council must hold PPD accountable! As a taxpaying citizen of Phoenix I demand the stop of this unacceptable hemorrhaging of funds by Phoenix PD and the MCAO.
PPD has a long history of targeting and abusing people based on their political beliefs. They surveil and target Black and brown activists, hoping to silence them. This is strikingly evident and should not be tolerated by any government body. You are supposed to represent US, not the people who continue to harm us. Phoenix police go out of their way with violent tactics to harm and oppress people demanding justice. This is NONSENSE City Council!
In recent protests against police violence, PPD arrested 3 children and a dozen people, who are facing felony street gang charges and could be sentenced to years in prison for doing nothing more than exercising their first amendment rights to assemble and protest the oppressive and relentless violence of Phoenix Police. This is NONSENSE City Council!
These agencies and their partnership are totally corrupt. We see this in all the cases where judges have refused to charge people based on police reports lacking probable cause; and then, MCAO brings the same charges to grand juries for indictment. This is NONSENSE City Council!

I am sure PPD and their cronies on City Council will be quick to paint those who dare question them as the bad guys, when they are the ones bending the law to their will and terrorizing the city. There is no need for a "protest update" other than one that immediately rescinds all the trumped up or completely fabricated charges slapped on young people this summer. The people want their demands met and their right to protest defended.

Phoenix PD and MCAO’s reign of terror must end. They are arresting kids, spreading COVID-19, and terrorizing communities. Where is the agenda that addresses police violence? Or have you not been listening to anyone in your community? How many more protests need to happen before you feel the need to actually represent the people who voted you in? Stop the political prosecutions, this is disgusting and you’re all sick for being complicit in it.
Why are we paying the police to incite violence at peaceful riots? Why are we paying them overtime? Why aren't we doing better like other cities who have trained non-police emergency responders to respond to situations requiring someone with mental health training and experience? Why do Phoenix police keep killing people and then hiding behind their badges? Why do we keep protecting and funding those who do not protect us?
We don't see anything on the agenda that reflects the true problems that affect our community. We have been talking about PPD’s violent treatment and are consistently ignored. Now our people brave enough to protest this treatment are being targeted, attacked and caged in an attempt to silence us so your tactics don’t have to change.

The behavior of PPD has been egregious - and their actions in the past year have highlighted their racism, corruption, and abuse inflicted on our communities. The negative impact the PPD has on the city emphasizes how desperately something must change. To harm individuals who have done nothing wrong is an abuse of power. We need some accountability.
What the heck is up with all this corruption between Maricopa County Community Office (MCAO) and Phoenix Police Department (PPD)?? I am severely disappointed in how the city has responded to the communities outrage at how we are being treated by the corrupt police! Throwing jacked up charges at people exercising their rights is an absolute disgrace and shows where the loyalty of the politicians lie, and its not in forward our communities.
Phoenix PD play a version of SIMON SAYS where if we don't comply we get swarmed and put in a filthy, freezing jail during the worst pandemic in my lifetime for the crime of exercising our rights. The intimidation of Protestors for exercising their rights as American Citizens is disgusting.
Phoenix Police have shot at, gassed, sprayed, employed ambush tactics, and even stolen property from citizens, even going as far as to follow us home and arrest us on bogus charges in the comfort of our homes
