Phoenix City Council and Mayor, it is reprehensible that we must track your every move and exert so much extra labor at these boring meetings to force you to look at the most pressing issues our city is facing right now. It is literally your job to make sure your constituents are taken care of. Yet, you protect the violent anti-Black system instead of the people. We demand justice and fully support the nine items on the citizen’s petition. #DefundPhxPD
This is a disgusting attempt to pit police accountability against response to the housing crisis in our city. Quit playing games, there is plenty of money to do both, if we took it from the budget of Chief William's nazi coin swapping, politician-threatening police force that collaborates with MCAO to bring trumped up charges on protestors.
City council and Mayor, it is public knowledge that the Tactical Response Unit (TRU) are violent neo-Nazis who celebrate their violence against protesters. The public is outraged yet, not a single one of you has publicly denounced Phoenix PD for their horrific mistreatment or protesters. How is it you care so little about what is happening? We demand you call for an immediate investigation of the Tactical Response Unit’s racial bias. We demand all officers involved with protest abuse be fired.
Council and Mayor do your job! Publicly denounce these charges! Demand MCAO adjust the motion to dismiss on the 10/17 cases to be with prejudice. Pass a resolution to call on MCAO to drop ALL charges including - 7/18, 8/9, 10/3 and any other outlying charges - with prejudice. Demand municipal court dismiss all misdemeanor charges. Demand MCAO hold the officers who lied under oath accountable, and fire all prosecutors involved in the protest charges! #DroptheChargesMCAO #EndPoliticalProsecutions
Council and Mayor, none of you seem to be bothered by the neo-Nazi gang activity happening within Phoenix PD or the fact that your officers lie under oath. We demand you call for an investigation into Sgt. Doug McBride and his handling of the Tactical Response Unit during the ongoing challenge coin scandal. Investigate his perjury under oath while testifying as a ‘gang expert’ and throw out his testimony of lies. Where is the accountability of your officers to our community?
City council and Mayor, our demands are simple! We want true public safety, and we want you to use your power to stop cops from killing and caging Black folx with impunity. Stop supporting the anti-Black neo-Nazi killing machine that is the Phoenix PD. Instead, protect the community by defunding the Phoenix Police Department and terminate City Manager Ed Zuercher. Ed is responsible for allowing Chief Jeri’s deadly cops to behave so despicably. Blood is on your hands. Do something. #DefundPhxPD
City council and Mayor, you want to defund Police accountability but you won’t defund the police. It seems if you were appalled by the actions of Phoenix PD you would publicly denounce them and work to make them accountable. Yet you all sit by and do nothing. We have more than 20 people still facing prison time because they were targeted and slapped with false gang charges by lying dirty cops, April Sponsel and Nick Michaud. You must demand MCAO drop all charges! #EndPoliticalProsecutions
City council & Mayor, demand Phoenix Police Department immediately return all personal property to protesters they illegally arrested. Create a reparations fund for all individuals directly impacted by the PPD’s use of excessive force at protests, and a fund for all individuals directly impacted by the PPD’s practice of politically and falsely prosecuting protesters. We must have guidelines to prevent officers from lying under oath against protesters exercising their First Amendment rights.
I ask of all City Council members: Do you believe there are "bad apples" within law enforcement? Did you believe homelessness needed attention back when you passed the $3Million dollars you found in budget savings? (Savings from federal COVID-19 reimbursements, savings because of COVID-19 city facility closures and savings associated with lower-than-anticipated jail costs during quarantine.All at which you ensured wouldn't require the city to cut city services in funding this oversight office.)
this is a shameless bait and switch. you approved the creation of the OAT, but now you're trying to leverage essential services that have deserved funding LONG before now as an excuse to defund it? we know Phx PD cannot oversee itself. we know they terrorize our unsheltered neighbors every single day. do your jobs. listen to the people.

It is despicable that Phoenix City Council is doing nothing to stop the efforts of their police force to take political prisoners. Half-measures in the form of an independent investigation come nowhere close to addressing the incredibly alarming efforts of a police force filled with neo-Nazi ideology targeting American citizens for their political views. Views that simply want their rights to equal treatment under the law and in practice. You must drop all these charges with prejudice.

For months, City Council, CM Zuercher, and Chief Williams have been parading police reform and “a commitment to do better” on police violence. The recent ABC 15 reports show what our communities know: this department is still violent. This is allowed through your police contracts that decrease transparency, while increasing the police budget and influence of the right-wing police union. You must reject the police contract, defund this department and demand a drop of all charges on protestors.

Zuercher, last week you said “This department is going to change. I demand it.” Are you lying about this again? If you mean it, city leadership needs to demand the rest of the charges against protesters be dropped. The budget and police union contract needs to be a reflection of that commitment to change. You must end the special protections and money to this racist dept that has proven alignment with white supremacy & has been politically targeting people who are critical of their violence.
