    The demands of Black leadership are simple. Create a reparations fund for all individuals directly impacted by the Phoenix Police Department’s use of excessive force at protests AND for all individuals directly impacted by PPD’s practice of politically and falsely prosecuting protesters. Either you side with us or you vote to uphold systemic racism, state violence and the political prosecutions of your corrupt and violent police. We are watching and will remember when it’s time to vote you out.

    This is a clear cut issue! Establish guidelines to prevent officers from lying under oath! That we even have to file a citizen’s petition for this is proof that PPD cannot even be trusted to police itself. The brady list doesn’t stop these lying cops. I am ASHAMED of our police department. The community demands better accountability for how you are spending the majority of our tax dollars. on a racist and out of control police department. IT IS YOUR JOB TO SUPPORT US.

    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. Do your job!

    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.

    Does City Council know their job is to represent citizens of Phoenix? In solidarity with Black leadership I fully support all 7 citizen’s petitions being heard today and demand you do your job and vote in solidarity with the community’s needs! 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

    Disband the Tactical Response Unit! The TRU is full of violent, neo-Nazis. They joke about their victims and lie under oath. You are paying cops 250k to investigate them and this is not acceptable. Cops can’t grade cops and we already know they can not be trusted. Do your job and support the demand to disband PPD’s TRU.

    In solidarity with Black and directly impacted leaders we demand PPD immediately return all personal property to protesters illegally arrested by the PPD. Why do Phx Police still have personal property of protesters after charges have been dropped? This is a gross abuse of our rights and we demand justice. Do something City Council!

    It’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 must listen to the demands to rectify injustice and trauma.
