    I support all citizens petitions today. We must do what is right and hold those that lead these violent departments accountable.

    I fully support these petitions. Fire City Manager, Ed Zuercher!! Ed had continually proven he is unwilling to hold the Phoenix Police Department accountable! In MCAO's own words, Ryan Whitaker should still be alive, yet the officer that killed him still has a job!!! Launch an ethics investigation, independent of the PPD and the MCAO, into the policies and practices of the failure of leadership by Chief Jerri Williams and Phx Police command staff. Disband the Tactical Response Unit.

    Do your job. Hold your fellow city employees accountable for their violence and constant harm to the community. You have the power right now to transform this toxic system that was designed to cage and kill Black folx. It is unacceptable that you sit by idly. We see you. Get on the right side of history and support these petitions today. We want justice; terminate City Manager Ed Zuercher who has allowed Jeri and PPD to ruthlessly attack and terrorize those who speak out against them.

    ’s beyond disturbing that we need to say it! Establish guidelines to prevent officers from lying under oath! The fact we have to file a citizen’s petition to enact this is proof that PPD is totally corrupt and absolutely can not be reformed. Brady list and PSB don’t stop these lying cops. You should all be ashamed of the constant misconduct of your police department. The community demands better and it is your job to support us.

    You didn’t allow this petition to be heard last month. And it remains a demand: Enact a resolution calling on the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office to drop all remaining charges against protesters arrested between May 28, 2020 & Nov 1, 2020, these arrests were the result of the unethical and illegal conduct of Phx police. Show your support of the people and vote in solidarity with us! MCAO and City Prosecutors must drop all charges with prejudice.

One person suffering violence at the hands of the police is too many! We shouldn’t have to ask for these things. You should proactively be working for them already! I also support the 2 petitions you refused to hear. We are watching and we vote. #DefundPhxPD #EndPoliticalProsecutions #DropTheChargesMCAO

    I am an attorney in Phoenix and provide pro bono rep. on cases that have yet to be dismissed. I have seen an extreme abuse of power, beginning with an overly aggressive police department, officers who show up to bring violence as opposed to facilitating Constitutional Rights. PPD's handling of protestors is a national embarrassment, we need to disband TRU. Even Arpaio knew when to disband units, unfortunately Chief Williams lacks this leadership and the Council's intervention is needed.

    I support all 7 petitions being heard today. Officers must be held accountable for their actions. We must have enforceable guidelines to prevent them from lying under oath. The policies and practices of the TRU must be investigated independently of the PPD and MCAO. Respect your citizens right to protest.

    I'm a veteran, disabled fought in wars. Phoenix PD were more than conservative dealing with the rioters and domestic terrorist. Nothing needs to be investigated except Carlos Garcias illegal actions inciting violence destruction vandalism & his affiliation with Police hate group Poder in Action. He should be removed from Council based on his actions of destruction to property. PD Should be given medals for putting up with the crap delt to them by you terrorist. This witch hunt needs to end.

    In solidarity with the African American community, I'm an African American man and I wholeheartedly disagree with these absurd petitions, based on malice & ignorance. The Phoenix Police do there job even know they're short 2000 officers and staff. It's clear as day criminals, pedophiled sextrafficers are trying to defund & make false allegations wanting outside investigations. Your all luney tunes & need a hobby. Go back to school. Do something productive. If you don't like PHX move!
