We deserve to know every misdeed of the Phoenix police. The same police that continues to terrorize our communities. Full transparency and public access for all disciplinary records is what we need now.
The people are protesting in ways we have not seen since the 1960s as they demand accountability from one of the most violent police forces in the country. Instead of listening to the people and engaging in a frank discussion about defunding our bloated PPD budget, PLEA is asking for more money and more authority to respond to these protests. City Council has to intervene! Council members should be denying these absurd requests, and instead diminish PPD’s power altogether and defund the police.
Maintain transparency in all spending/budget decisions. More public funding for social services. More focus on serving the community to make it strong. No private meetings. No special deals.
If police are really “for” the community THEN they would LISTEN to the community! Countless of invisible have spoken out & have have made their voices heard. Now it’s time to listen to the people y’all claim to protect. We demand NO negotiations behind closed doors! No more funding to police, instead reallocate the funds to communities in need! Folks need food & shelter NOT cops! Folks deserve to have transparency & cops need to be held accountable! People deserve to prosper with being policed!
No negotiations behind closed doors. Nothing that gives more money to cops. Nothing that decreases transparency and accountability. Nothing that gives PLEA more control. Reroute our funding to social service organizations! Mental health, education, healthcare! Community care!
It’s ridiculous how heavily funded the Phoenix police department is, while public schools, public housing, and many other important public programs are left in the dust. Crime stems from poverty. If you want to fix the problem at its root, direct our resources towards ending poverty rather than criminalizing it.
The people of Phoenix have been in the streets since the spring demanding you Defund the police. During a global pandemic you have violently ignored the needs of the unsheltered community and all Phoenicians. You even used the majority of the federal CARES Act money meant to help residents to offset police salaries. No more! We demand you block all increases to police salaries and we demand you reduce the police budget and staff and redirect that money to fund services for unsheltered people.
Why must negotiations happen behind closed doors? This does not help the citizens of the city - we deserve to have a say and KNOW where our money is going. I don't believe this really helps the officers either. Eyes are on police, people are skeptical. Closed-door negotiations aren't going to help that dynamic. Only fuel it. Who benefits from behind-the-scenes negotiations? PLEA has the opportunity to try and prove themselves as a trustworthy organization. Why not take it if they're not?
I urge you to listen to the will of the community. Despite your agenda, if the police department has no respect for the people with whom they interact or the human life they have sworn to protect, there will continue to be disruption and pushback. We will keep organizing in larger numbers to fight back and reclaim our freedom. And when we fight, we win. The demands are for transparency and accountability. City Council, you have the power to put an end to this and do what is best for your people.

The Phoenix police department does not need more money. Money from the police budget should be invested in our communities, especially in education. There also needs to be more transparency and no negotiations behind closed doors.
No negations behind closed doors. Nothing that gives more money to police. Nothing that decreases transparency and accountability. Nothing that gives PLEA more money.
Phoenix Police Department is one of the most violent, deadly police forces in the nation. It is absolutely absurd and unacceptable that these killer cops should be getting pay raises and pension upgrades. Article 3 goes on endlessly with numerous ways police pay rate should increase. City Council has blood on their hands already, and instead of rewarding PPD with yet more money should deny this change in the MOU.

We pay the taxes that are being spent behind closed doors. There needs to be transparency between the PLEA and members of the community. PLEA should not have control and need to be held accountable.
PPD is one of the most violent, deadly police forces in the U.S. It is absurd & unacceptable that these killer cops should be getting pay raises & pension upgrades. Article 3 goes on endlessly with numerous ways police pay rate should increase. City Council has blood on their hands already, & instead of rewarding PPD with yet more money should deny this change in the MOU. We deserve better from a group of politicians who all ran on platforms to eliminate redundancy and waste in our tax spending.
The Phoenix PD has murdered more people than any other department in the US so far in 2020. In the middle of a pandemic, through the long summer of demonstrations against police brutality. This year alone, the Phoenix PD violated the right to due process of 12 individuals. I oppose any contract that includes more funding for police, and/or less accountability. PLEA may fund some of your campaigns, but you are not accountable to them. This council is and will be held accountable by the people.
This MOU provides "rights" to law enforcement that supersede AZ State Law. (ARS 38-1104, A.1) Our City should never agree to a contract that provides the Police Dept. extra time, funding, or legal counsel during an investigation, that they wouldn't extend to its own citizens. No one is above the law. We need to see a more transparent and ethical version of a PLEA MOU. Strongly oppose.
