Our nation is understandably outraged, scared, and worried; and WHEREAS, as your city government, we have an obligation to protect and serve everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from. At this moment of reckoning, we are called upon to listen and to speak, to kneel and to stand, to reflect and to improve; and WHEREAS, we deeply appreciate the dedicated women and men of our police force who work, day and night, to keep our community safe. At the same time, the tremendous power of our police officers must always be balanced with the tremendous responsibility they have. We will recommit to a shared understanding of how we treat the members of our community -- who gets the benefit of the doubt and who gets pulled over, who gets let off with a warning and who is injured or killed. Our community is not immune to nor exempt from this soul-searching work; and WHEREAS, the City of Palo Alto commits to the affirmation that Black lives matter because so many black and brown lives have for so long been discounted, undervalued, abused, and taken from us. We cannot and will not accept this here in our city, and here in our country. // // // // // // // // // // // // // // NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the City Palo Alto does hereby express its support and proclamation that Black lives matter, and commits our local government to do everything within our powers to review our police and public safety practices with the community and then implement measures that reflect no tolerance for police violence, prejudice, discrimination, and harm.
