City of Palo Alto Staff Report to Human Relations Commission January 12, 2023 RE: Agenda Item 1: Resolution authorizing the use of teleconferencing under Government Code Section 54953(e) for meetings of the Human Relations Commission Recommendation Adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) authorizing the use of teleconferencing under Government Code Section 54953(e) for meetings of the Human Relations Commission and its committees due to the Covid-19 declared state of emergency. Background In February and March 2020, the state and the County declared a state of emergency due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Both emergency declarations remain in effect. On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361, a bill that amends the Brown Act, effective October 1, 2021, to allow local policy bodies to continue to meet by teleconferencing during a state of emergency without complying with restrictions in State law that would otherwise apply, provided that the policy bodies make certain findings at least once every 30 days. AB 361, codified at California Government Code Section 54953(e), empowers local policy bodies to convene by teleconferencing technology during a proclaimed state of emergency under the State Emergency Services Act in any of the following circumstances: (A) The legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency, and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing. (B) The legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. (C) The legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and has determined, by majority vote, pursuant to subparagraph (B) (B), that, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. (Gov. Code § 54953(e)(1).) 1     Packet Pg. 5     In addition, Section 54953(e)(3) requires that policy bodies using teleconferencing reconsider the state of emergency within 30 days of the first teleconferenced meeting after October 1, 2021, and at least every 30 days thereafter, and find that one of the following circumstances exists: 1. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person. 2. State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. Discussion At this time, the circumstances in Section 54953(e)(1)(A) exist. The Santa Clara County Health Officer continues to recommend measures to promote outdoor activity, physical distancing and other social distancing measures, such as masking, in certain contexts. (See August 2, 2021 Order.) In addition, the California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) has promulgated Section 3205 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, which requires most employers in California, including in the City, to train and instruct employees about measures that can decrease the spread of COVID-19, including physical distancing and other social distancing measures. Accordingly, Section 54953(e)(1)(A) authorizes the City to continue using teleconferencing for public meetings of its policy bodies, provided that any and all members of the public who wish to address the body or its committees have an opportunity to do so, and that the statutory and constitutional rights of parties and the members of the public attending the meeting via teleconferencing are protected. To comply with public health directives and promote public safety, Palo Alto policy bodies have been meeting via teleconference since March 2020. On September 27, 2021, the City Council considered the format for future Council, committee, and Board and Commission meetings. Council determined that beginning November 1, 2021, Council meetings would be conducted using a hybrid format that allows Council Members and the public to decide whether to attend in person, following masking and distancing protocols, or participate via teleconference. Council directed that Council standing and ad-hoc committees and Boards and Commissions would continue meeting via teleconference through January 2022. Adoption of the Resolution as Attachment A will make the findings required by Section 54953(e)(3) to allow the continued use of teleconferencing for meetings of the Human Relations Commission and its committees. 1     Packet Pg. 6     ATTACHMENT A NOT YET APPROVED Resolution No. 10 Resolution Making Findings to Allow Teleconferenced Meetings Under California Government Code Section 54953(e) R E C I T A L S A. California Government Code Section 54953(e) empowers local policy bodies to convene by teleconferencing technology during a proclaimed state of emergency under the State Emergency Services Act so long as certain conditions are met; and B. In March 2020, the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a state of emergency in California in connection with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and that state of emergency remains in effect; and C. In February 2020, the Santa Clara County Director of Emergency Services and the Santa Clara County Health Officer declared a local emergency, which declarations were subsequently ratified and extended by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, and those declarations also remain in effect; and D. On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361, a bill that amends the Brown Act to allow local policy bodies to continue to meet by teleconferencing during a state of emergency without complying with restrictions in State law that would otherwise apply, provided that the policy bodies make certain findings at least once every 30 days; and E. While federal, State, and local health officials emphasize the critical importance of vaccination and consistent mask-wearing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Santa Clara County Health Officer has issued at least one order, on August 2, 2021 (available online at here), that continues to recommend measures to promote outdoor activity, physical distancing and other social distancing measures, such as masking, in certain contexts; and F. The California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Occupational Safety and Health (“Cal/OSHA”) has promulgated Section 3205 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, which requires most employers in California, including in the City, to train and instruct employees about measures that can decrease the spread of COVID-19, including physical distancing and other social distancing measures; and G. The Human Relations Commission has met remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic and can continue to do so in a manner that allows public participation and transparency while minimizing health risks to members, staff, and the public that would be present with in-person meetings while this emergency continues; now, therefore, 1     Packet Pg. 7     NOT YET APPROVED The Human Relations Commission RESOLVES as follows: 1. As described above, the State of California remains in a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this meeting, the Human Relations Commission has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency. 2. As described above, State and County officials continue to recommend measures to promote physical distancing and other social distancing measures, in some settings. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that for at least the next 30 days, meetings of the Human Relations Commission and its committees will occur using teleconferencing technology. Such meetings of the Human Relations Commission and its committees that occur using teleconferencing technology will provide an opportunity for any and all members of the public who wish to address the body and its committees and will otherwise occur in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of parties and the members of the public attending the meeting via teleconferencing; and, be it FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Human Relations Commission staff liaison is directed to place a resolution substantially similar to this resolution on the agenda of a future meeting of the Human Relations Commission within the next 30 days. If the Human Relations Commission does not meet within the next 30 days, the staff liaison is directed to place a such resolution on the agenda of the immediately following meeting of the Human Relations Commission.

To understand the connection between good policing, policing that captures the public trust, it is critical to understand the interconnection between good policing and prosecuting bad cops.

So between 70-100 seniors each day, M-F, get their lunch for a donation of $3, located at First Methodist Church, on the corner of Hamlton and Webster St. But this Monday and Wednesday in the pouring rain seniors had to find shelter at home or ? 70+ seniors had to wait in a long line in the pouring rain, and Avenidas Senior Center on 450 Bryant was nearly empty...Yet four empty rooms were available for seniors to eat there, but Avenidas has said NO. Why? Doesn't the City help fund this Senior Center at Avenidas? Where do seniors go to eat their meal when it rains? These seniors are supposed to find a dry place, and cannot to visit with others, to share stories. Avenidas needs to step up to the plate and open their doors to 350-500 seniors per week.

Even though the title suggests that we didn’t want Tasers in our jails the arguments made apply equally to the use of Tasers by deputy sheriffs or police officers interacting with community members in the streets. >>> >>> Since tasers were first introduced in Palo Alto in 2007 -all during this time frame the IPA has been monitoring their use- the PAPD has deployed Tasers at most about 40 times in 15 years — about 2.5 to 3 times a year— all of which data is reflected/reported in the IPA’s reports for the same time period. In other words these are not my numbers but rather come directed from our independent Police Auditor’s reports >>> >>> Remember all members of the PAPD are armed with Tasers some 80-90 sworn officers. Tasers are expensive, the training is costly, and replacing Tasers with the newest models every few years is expensive. >>> >>> The manufacturer’s warnings on how NOT to use Tasers has grown since 2007 -until today - from a few paragraphs to now more then 7 pages of warnings. If you read the warnings you can see how complicated it is for an officer to use a Taser without violating one or more of the warnings. >>> >>> Although IPA Mike Gennaco answered your first question I believe he failed to answer your second question: are Tasers cost effective? I think a close review of our article and other research pieces on the subject suggests that Tasers are NOT cost effective. >>> >>> If properly trained with all the warnings in mind departments that follow the warnings rarely use Tasers. Palo Alto seems from the data to use Tasers rarely because officers are trained NOT to use them in most situations. >>> >>> Even when used pursuant the numerous warnings the reported failure rate once the Taser is deployed is 50% or more. When the weapon fails the officer and the individual being tased are often put in a much more dangerous position…creating a situation increasing the likelihood of the officer having to use a gun on the victim. >>> >>> Bottom line police departments that are not properly trained are often using Tasers in a reckless manner causing death or serious injury. Cities and municipalities are now the defendants in most Taser death and injury cases. The long and detailed warnings put out by the manufacturer and provided to police departments acts to insulate the manufacture from liability from Taser lawsuits leaving the liability burden on cities. 6     Packet Pg. 38     >>> >>> Of course all of the studies on the topic suggest that Tasers are used very disproportionately on black and brown people and the mentally ill. 85-90% of those tased are unarmed. >>> >>> I believe the infrequent use of Tasers by the PAPD, their high failure rate when used and the great expense of Tasers for all sworn officers… makes for a compelling case to shelve Tasers in Palo Alto. I hope you will read our article and if you have questions I will gladly do my best to answer them. >>> >>> Sincerely, >>> >>> Aram James 415-370-5056 >> >> >> >>> >>> >>> >>> Sent from my iPhone >>> >>> Sent from my iPhone 6     Packet Pg. 39     From:Aram James To:Alison Cormack; Michael Gennaco; Council, City; Jethroe Moore; Binder, Andrew; Sean Allen; Shikada, Ed; Jeff Rosen; Supervisor Otto Lee; Cindy Chavez; Julie Lythcott-Haims; ladoris cordell; vicki@vickiforcouncil.com; Joe Simitian; Supervisor Susan Ellenberg; Tony Dixon; Cecilia Taylor; Betsy Nash; Rebecca Eisenberg; Josh Becker; chuck jagoda; Greer Stone; Enberg, Nicholas; Wagner, April; Human Relations Commission; Reifschneider, James; Perron, Zachary; Winter Dellenbach; Greg Tanaka Subject:Tasers far from non lethal alternative to bullets -interview of Aram James by journalist Paul Kleyman Date:Wednesday, November 16, 2022 10:41:07 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

As a Jew, I find it particularly painful to see the essence of apartheid still thriving in Israel. I am extremely proud to be part of an organization like Independent Jewish Voices that brings people together against this injustice. During my time in office as the MPP for Beaches East York in Ontario, I was one of several Canadian elected representatives who signed IJV’s Together Against Apartheid pledge. It was inspiring to see so many others from all levels of government coming out, unafraid to call out Israeli apartheid. This would have been unthinkable a mere 10 years ago. It is thanks in large part to the work of IJV that so many MP’s, MPPs, MLAs, academics, artists, and people like yourself are feeling emboldened to stand with Palestinians. But we need your support to create these spaces of solidarity, debate, and dissent in Canada. Aram, please join me in making a donation to IJV today to ensure that we can keep doing effective anti- apartheid work. Donate today and help us come together against apartheid When we were fighting apartheid in South Africa, there was a powerful international solidarity movement, but Western governments were some of the last institutions to cut ties with the old apartheid regime. Today, millions of people around the world are standing with Palestinians against Israeli apartheid – and that number continues to grow, especially as the mountain of evidence of human rights abuses and right-wing extremism becomes impossible to ignore. But there is still a powerful lobby in Canada that wants to ensure that the Canadian government continues to support Israel regardless of the human rights abuses it commits. Despite the human rights reports. Despite the growing international outrage and solidarity. And despite the fact that Canadians overwhelmingly support Palestinian human rights. IJV operates on a fraction of the pro-Israel lobby’s budget, but we’re able to challenge them, because increasing numbers of Jewish community members are willing to speak up, and because we are stronger together. Challenge the pro-Israel lobby - support our movement Just as South Africa was able to throw off apartheid and begin the work 6     Packet Pg. 50     of growing into a country and society that works for everyone who lives within its borders, so too can Israel make that transformation. The building of a just peace is crucial work for every country on the planet – including Canada, of course. But we can’t do it if we support legalized systems of apartness. They didn’t work in South Africa and they don’t work in Israel. By their nature they are profoundly anti-Judaic. Join me in helping to create a just society in Israel-Palestine that is true to the Jewish values of social justice and mending the world. Thanks for your support, Donate to IJV or become a member!

Filing a false DMCA claim. Of course we complained to the ineffective HRC and presented our case. They looked at us like glassy eyed soldiers drugged crazed idiots or zombies ‍♀ "Welcome to Palo Alto, now empty out your pockets". “Welcome to Palo Alto”. A border sign which greets millions of visitors visiting Palo Alto annually. That greeting, “Welcome to Palo Alto” represents a sign of friendship. However, for those who live just a stone’s throw away, in East Palo Alto, it’s more like an International Border crossing with unspoken conditions of travel appearing to be specially designed for the vast majority of African Americans and Latino Americans who live in East Palo Alto. Fear of being pulled over The welcoming sign, for many represents’ a sign of fear as one East Palo Alto business owner, Elwyn Rainer of Rainers Service Station put it; “The majority of Hispanics and African Americans are afraid to travel over to Palo Alto in fear of being pulled over and searched for no reasons”. “Research has verified that people of color are more often stopped than whites” as reported in one study by the Office of Justice Programs. In fact, Mr. Rainer describes himself as the “Poster Child” of what he perceives as racially motivated vehicle stops by the Menlo Park and Palo Alto police departments based solely upon the color of his skin. In one of Mr. Rainer’s many vehicle stops the officer did state the reason why he was pulled over. The officer explained, t was because as he put it, “your bumper went over the white pedestrian crossing line”. “It doesn’t matter what I’m being pulled over for I’m always asked; “Are you on probation, recently released from jail all asked all in one breathe” as he put it. Questioning intensifies That’s when the line of questioning intensifies; “Do you mind if we search your vehicle”? He said, “It makes you afraid so I always consent out of fear”. Mr. Rainer admittedly said that he does have a “colorful past” and did not disclose what the past was. None-the- less he no longer travels over to Palo Alto. Many of the perceived unspoken travel requirements necessary before entering Palo Alto by East Palo Alto citizens include, functioning taillights, current registration, license, both plates, insurance, no strong odors and having the 6     Packet Pg. 53     right tattoos of all things. Recent border crossing from East Palo Alto That was the experience of one recent border crossing detainment by the Palo Alto police department involving two East Palo Alto Latino citizens while traveling on University Ave. She relates, “They had stopped us because the car didn't have the front license plate; he first explained why he had pulled us over but then right after he asked my boyfriend if he has ever been in trouble before. He asked how old were we and took down my information, within seconds he asked my boyfriend to step out the car and questioned him about his tattoos on both arms (his last name). After minutes of having him by the police car, the cop asked me to get out the car and asked me to empty out my pocket's and also he searched my boyfriend and the car. He had said it smelled like the illegal substance Marijuana, when he had searched the car he didn't find anything. After he was done he kept questioning both of us about where did we live and what we’re we doing in Palo Alto”. Just being stopped by the police under any circumstance can be nerve racking in itself. However, we believe the nature or line questions asked in these two cases in our opinion appears to be discriminatory and biased in nature with the intent of targeting minorities and or the disenfranchised. Attempted explanation Not so! And in explaining the vehicle stop which occurred recently on University Ave, Palo Alto police Lieutenant now Captain Zachary Perron states; “every vehicle stop is different. There are many reasons why an officer might request an occupant to get out of a vehicle during a detention; in fact, case law allows officers to do it on any stop". It would be irresponsible for me to speculate about why any officer would ask occupants to step out of a vehicle on any particular stop, since each stop is different.” However, “building better community relations” is still one of the primary concerns of law enforcement throughout the country. That is why every action by a law enforcement officer has a bearing on the relationship of the agency with the community. Since most citizens come into contact with law enforcement officers at traffic stops, this becomes a critical element for law enforcement agencies in their overall public relations effort. "Traffic enforcement offers agencies a way to build bridges to the community, one traffic stop at a time”. As cited by the International Association of Chiefs of Police Disturbing questions remain Were disappointed but not surprised that captan Zachary Perron did not address the all important questions of; "have you ever been arrested or are you on probation" as the first questions asked in the two East Palo Alto vehicle stop examples. We beleive the average citizen no matter what their ethnicity, would find these questions to be derogatory, inflammatory, offensive and discriminatory and in no way designed to build trust especially within minority communities. Lastly, we strongly feel as suggested by the International Association of Chiefs of Police that: 6     Packet Pg. 54     "The first words spoken by the officer may very well determine the tone of the encounter and even the eventual outcome" in building better community relationships especially among minorities”.

Support IJV's youth organizing  6     Packet Pg. 65     Dear Aram, When I found Independent Jewish Voices, it was a personal and political lifeline for me. It was fall 2020. I was a new student at U of T Law, and the Azarova hiring scandal had just hit national news. Naturally, I raised my concerns of Palestine censorship to the student body, but I was quickly condemned by fellow Jews at the law school and called an antisemite. I was hurt, confused, and deeply frustrated. Thankfully, our National Coordinator had noticed me voicing my concerns in Jewish community Facebook groups, and reached out to connect. He put me in touch with the then small but mighty IJV U of T chapter. Two years later, I consider that group of individuals my friends, comrades, and my Jewish community. We recently shared a Rosh Hashanah dinner together, and continue to lean on and support each other as Jews in the fight for a free Palestine. IJV was and remains the place where I can be my full self. That’s why last year I sought to deepen my involvement by joining the national Steering Committee as a youth representative. Working with the SC has shown me just how integral IJV is in defending our allies against smear campaigns, advocating for just Canadian policy toward Palestine and Palestine-related speech, and providing an integral counter-voice to right-wing Jewish organizations that claim to speak in my name. 6     Packet Pg. 66     Aram, thanks to a generous group of donors, I'm thrilled to announce that all donations made to IJV this week will be matched up to $10,000. That means that if you donate today, you'll be doubling your impact on our organizing. Double your impact! Donate to IJV and support our youth organizing on Canadian campuses Our incredibly adept and passionate staff work tirelessly to advocate, communicate, educate, and support membership across the country in grassroots organizing and activism. And they have been instrumental in responding to the significant growth of our organization over the last two years. But this growth is only sustainable with your financial support. We’ve recently seen the difference increased community funding can make in our impact. It means more members, more actions, and increased capacity. And there will always be more we could do if only we had the funding. Please help us to keep up the momentum by giving what you can, either by becoming a monthly sustainer, or by making a one time donation. Help sustain our organizing - donate today Times are hard, and we need to come together to keep IJV thriving. To me, IJV is the place where we get to define for ourselves what it means to live Jewishly - the place where Canadian Jews can say “We are here. We stand for decolonial, anti-racist practice. And we stand for freedom and justice on Turtle Island and in Palestine.” In 5783, let us renew our commitment to these principles, and to a strong and effective IJV. Please join me in donating generously today to ensure IJV’s future successes. Best wishes, 6     Packet Pg. 67     Donate to IJV or become a member!

Even though the title suggests that we didn’t want Tasers in our jails the arguments made apply equally to the use of Tasers by deputy sheriffs or police officers interacting with community members in the streets. >>>> >>>> Since tasers were first introduced in Palo Alto in 2007 -all during this time frame the IPA has been monitoring their use- the PAPD has deployed Tasers at most about 40 times in 15 years — about 2.5 to 3 times a year— all of which data is reflected/reported in the IPA’s reports for the same time period. In other words these are not my numbers but rather come directed from our independent Police Auditor’s reports >>>> >>>> Remember all members of the PAPD are armed with Tasers some 80-90 sworn officers. Tasers are expensive, the training is costly, and replacing Tasers with the newest models every few years is expensive. >>>> >>>> The manufacturer’s warnings on how NOT to use Tasers has grown since 2007 -until today - from a few paragraphs to now more then 7 pages of warnings. If you read the warnings you can see how complicated it is for an officer to use a Taser without violating one or more of the warnings. >>>> >>>> Although IPA Mike Gennaco answered your first question I believe he failed to answer your second question: are Tasers cost effective? I think a close review of our article and other research pieces on the subject suggests that Tasers are NOT cost effective. >>>> >>>> If properly trained with all the warnings in mind departments that follow the warnings rarely use Tasers. Palo Alto seems from the data to use Tasers rarely because officers are trained NOT to use them in most situations. >>>> >>>> Even when used pursuant the numerous warnings the reported failure rate once the Taser is deployed is 50% or more. When the weapon fails the officer and the individual being tased are often put in a much more dangerous position…creating a situation increasing the likelihood of the officer having to use a gun on the victim. 6     Packet Pg. 76     >>>> >>>> Bottom line police departments that are not properly trained are often using Tasers in a reckless manner causing death or serious injury. Cities and municipalities are now the defendants in most Taser death and injury cases. The long and detailed warnings put out by the manufacturer and provided to police departments acts to insulate the manufacture from liability from Taser lawsuits leaving the liability burden on cities. >>>> >>>> Of course all of the studies on the topic suggest that Tasers are used very disproportionately on black and brown people and the mentally ill. 85-90% of those tased are unarmed. >>>> >>>> I believe the infrequent use of Tasers by the PAPD, their high failure rate when used and the great expense of Tasers for all sworn officers… makes for a compelling case to shelve Tasers in Palo Alto. I hope you will read our article and if you have questions I will gladly do my best to answer them. >>>> >>>> Sincerely, >>>> >>>> Aram James > 415-370-5056 >>> >> >>> >>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Sent from my iPhone >>>> >>>> Sent from my iPhone 6     Packet Pg. 77     From:Aram James To:Alison Cormack; Greg Tanaka; Julie Lythcott-Haims; Binder, Andrew; vicki@vickiforcouncil.com; Cindy Chavez; Joe Simitian; Otto Lee; Jethroe Moore; Supervisor Susan Ellenberg; Sean Allen; Council, City; Shikada, Ed; Jeff Rosen; Winter Dellenbach; Jay Boyarsky; Human Relations Commission; Planning Commission; ParkRec Commission; Josh Becker; Assemblymember.Berman@assembly.ca.gov; Rebecca Eisenberg; ladoris cordell; Enberg, Nicholas; Wagner, April; Reifschneider, James; Perron, Zachary Subject:Tasers Forum Aram James Date:Saturday, November 26, 2022 2:19:36 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

I agree with others who have expressed concern about the allegations in the podcast, and in particular the specific mention of Bob Jonsen.

I would be willing to reach out to Mr. Jonsen to ask him to meet. Perhaps a group of the community leaders you've copied here could meet offline to make a plan and meet with Mr. Jonsen if he is willing?

T0: Michael Gennaco IPA -OIR From: Aram James ( Re: 3rd party complaints) FYI: Mike here is Palo Alto police agent Nicholas Enberg allegedly in trouble again ( see linked article below dated 11-29-2022) . Please check this incident out for your next IPA report. Note: the incident leading to the new law suit, mentioned below, occurred on October 15, 2021. The victim of the act of alleged excessive force is a woman by the name of Harlene Grewal. On October 10, of 2021, ( 5 days before the Harlene Grewal incident) agent Nicholas Enberg, while still a dog handler— released his canine on Palo Alto resident Alexander Furrier. Mr. Furrier filed a claim against the city growing out of the alleged canine attack on April 8, 2022. I submitted a CPRA request for the 36 second video of the Furrier canine attack- pursuant to SB 1421- on August 16, 2022. In early September of 2022 my request was denied by Palo Alto Police Department Public Safety Program Manager Lisa Scheff -see CPRA RQUEST reference # 1141-081822. I believe that the facts stated in Mr. Furrier’s complaint suggest that the injuries he received constituted great bodily injured as required under SB 1421. Thus I believe the video footage of the police canine attack should be released to me, the press and other interested third parties. I’m some what limited in making the GBI argument by the fact that Chief Andrew Binder has refused to release the video of the canine attack on Mr. Furrier. In addition when reviewing the canine attack video footage if you could also review any still photos of Mr. Furrier’s injuries and the medical records from the incident. Ok, please consider my discussion of the two above incidents involving PAPD agent Nicholas Enberg to be my 3rd party complaints to ensure that both incidents are reviewed within the full scope of the current IPA contract.

From: KEVIN JENSEN <kp14him@aol.com> Date: December 1, 2022 at 4:49:55 PM PST Subject: I was asked to send this to those concerned Please forward this information to the BOS. I would like to place this on the agenda: Request that they consider a review of Sheriff-elect's background before any considerations of confirming him early to start in that position in December. I would like to add my name to speak for 2 mins during the public comment on Zoom. I want to remain anonymous during the public comment as well as keep my camera off if that is possible due to recent harassment over these issues. I have no problem revealing my name and who I am to the BOS in private. Thank you! Dear SCC BOS, I am a community member living in Santa Clara County and I have information that is crucial to pass on to you and others about the Sheriff-elect, Mr. Bob Jonsen. It is my hope and on behalf of MANY others who have contacted me that the information presented below is seriously considered and investigated before confirmation of any consideration of an early start for the Sheriff-elect in December. I know that this information was not gathered earlier and not made somewhat publicly aware until late October/early November 2022. Personally, I wished it would have been sooner because I am confident the outcome of this election would be different given the gravity of the issues and allegations that would be concerning to the general public. My intent is not to hold court on Mr. Bob Jonsen, but to inform and advise of information brought to my and others' attention of his past, for which he has not been transparent with. While I have a lot to personally convey about the Sheriff-elect, I want to keep this in perspective for the general public. My goal (and that of many) is to hope that the SCC BOS reviews this information and ultimately come to a consensus that this information is not only used for 'vetting' purposes but to request additional monitoring measures of the Sheriff-elect once he is in command of the department especially if there is no public outcry for him to step down. While we cannot change the trajectory of the certification of votes and this election, we can provide the information needed so that the SCC BOS and the public are fully aware of the Sheriff-elect's potential involvement in situations that not only are publicly egregious but outrageous. I am aware of the Santa Clara County Law Enforcement monitoring and oversight provided by OIR and the SCC Community Correction and Law Enforcement monitoring committee, with the latter probably being more trustworthy in my opinion. The OIR had its contract terminated by the LA County BOS after the investigation and conviction of LA Sheriff Lee Baca. See attached photo of an exhibit that mentions more details. I believe there will be others who will communicate to you about their mistrust of the Sheriff-elect and this has nothing to do with politics but everything to do with the questionable past of Mr. Bob Jonsen for which to our knowledge, he has never been held to answer after he left the LA Sheriff Dept, and more recently the Menlo Park and Palo Alto PD which he also left with questionable situations. I personally did not know who Mr. Bob Jonsen was until this past year when former Sheriff Laurie Smith asked my husband and I to support him, as we were former coworkers and constituents of hers. We refused after we did our research and learned that we did not want to support him or anyone with the past history presented to us. I want to direct you to several key sources of information below which is a lot to digest, but hoping that you all understand the bigger picture of potential liability as well as building trust with the general public and our communities of color. When they are fully aware of his background and specific questions that he has not answered, there may be an additional outcry as to his suitability, trust, and transparency and his full capability to repair a department that requires much-needed reform. Thank you for your time and patience. I do wish to remain anonymous during any public comments due to the recent harassment I have experienced over the dissemination of this information. I can assure you that I am confident that the harassment is not from anyone in the public at large and this is purely isolated. Once I gather facts and proof, that information will be forwarded to the District Attorney and you will be Cc'ed if this concerns your position for action. The first format of the information is a website developed by a group of SJSU Grad Students and Community professionals for which I provided the links for their investigation because much of it has been scrubbed from the general internet search. One must have the link or specific keywords to search and you will find it readily available on the internet. This website will be in the process of an update given that the elections are completed and votes will be certified on Dec 8th.However, the contents will remain the same, but with added information below such as the podcast, etc, and the name of the site will change. http://www.dontvoteforbobjonsen.com The second format of the information is a podcast that was released in LA in October 2022, but did not gain public awareness of Mr. Bob Jonsen until it was mentioned within that he is a candidate in the SCC Sheriff election. This podcast is a little over one hour in length and goes into specific details of the LASD Deputy gangs that have plagued and 6     Packet Pg. 101     continue to plague that Dept. While I hope that you will listen to the entire podcast, if you are short on time, the introduction is important to hear from 1.00to 5.00ish to understand the gravity of what will be discussed later in the podcast where Mr. Bob Jonsen is mentioned. You can fast forward to the time frame from 34.15 to 42.30. The focus is a Deputy gang that went by the name 'Grim Reaper' and that by all accounts, no longer exists. Several of its deputy members from years ago are now reported to be retired or are current commanders, police chiefs, and sheriffs in LASD and other agencies. The last known member, who was the current Sheriff Villanueva's Chief of Staff, Larry Del Mese, testified under oath this past July about the existence of the Grim Reapers. Commander Larry Del Mese was also known to be the co-founder of this deputy gang. Refer to the article link below the podcast link. It has been told several times by many, that Mr. Bob Jonsen was a member or an associate of the Grim Reapers. See the image attached. It is also similar to the tattoo many had and have since removed from their ankles. The Grim Reapers - A Tradition of Violence - Omny.fm Former LA County Sheriff’s official admits to being in gang (audacy.com) The third format is an addl news article link with information pertinent to understanding the gravity of serious concerns regarding Mr. Bob Jonsen. The Palo Alto news article mentions the support of Bob Jonsen from Laurie Smith. Laurie Smith was also heavily involved with quietly campaigning for Bob Jonsen calling upon many of her constituents to vote for him. Mr. Jonsen is relatively unknown to many in the south and north county and I doubt that his pitch of being an outsider and having 'fresh eyes' solely won him the election. What won him the election was the votes meant for Laurie Smith that went to Bob Jonsen. I have personal knowledge of her support for Bob Jonsen as mentioned earlier. My point in bringing this up is because it is 'known' that Mr. Bob Jonsen will keep much of her policies in place and the staff she promoted, whereas Mr. Kevin Jensen would have held accountable any in the command staff associated with the malfeasance and mismanagement of Laurie Smith and corrected policies that no longer work. In my opinion, this alone if accurate, should be cause for great concern and another reason for specific oversight of Mr. Bob Jonsen. And, look how long and arduous the process took just to remove her. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2022/10/16/accusations-fly-in-santa-clara-county-sheriffs-race Attached is one of many photographs out there depicting Mr. Bob Jensen with 'alleged' members of the LASD Grim Reaper, Vikings and other deputy gangs, most I am told forming the Grim Reaper gang sign while Mr. Bob Jonsen is in the middle, laughing holding a beer, with a uniformed supervisor all around a police car. While there are numerous stories and articles about deputy gangs, here is an addl link describing more detailed issues created by deputy gangs which includes a link to a research report about the Deputy gangs: New Report Says LA County’s Deputy Gangs Promote a “secretive, violent, us-against-them” police culture | (witnessla.com) Marked-Draft-CJLP-Report-to-Stakeholders-re-Deputy-Gangs.pdf (witnessla.com) Again, I know this is a LOT of information and sadly there is even more with many retired LASD commenting to me about Mr. Bob Jonsen on social media, etc. with nobody saying anything positive and these are all retired and active officers. I cannot possibly explain any of this in the 2 mins public comments so I will just urge you during my 2 minutes not to confirm Mr. Bob Jonsen early in the position as Sheriff until an investigation and inquiry into his past is thoroughly reviewed and considered for an oversight committee focusing on monitoring his activities.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links. Even if the Don't Vote for Bob Jonsen website (https://www.dontvoteforbobjonsen.com/) were created by Kevin Jensen, some of these claims have been around (and confirmed) for years. The gang connection, for example, is backed by credible information; the question is whether a person admits and acknowledges that these gangs have a proven, well-documented history of strong ties to white supremacist groups. Given the continuing, also well-documented problem of unwarranted, often deadly police violence against African-Americans, especially young Black men, it is rational and expected that any alleged ties to white supremacist gangs be taken very seriously. One thing that concerned me about Jonsen was that he refused to do any investigation into whether any member of his force was involved in the January 6th insurrection, even though the majority of better-run police departments nationally were doing such an investigation as a matter of course. As I imagine most people saw, a large number of the individuals who planned and participated in the violent insurrection were members of various police forces. I continue to wonder how and why a high integrity police chief would not recognize the need to ensure that no member of their force took part in such an intolerable, grotesque, criminal act. We are reaching a cultural moment where a growing number of people are losing faith in, and respect for, many police forces. Although the traditional approach for such a problem has been to continue to increase police budgets and grow police presences, those strategies are not helping and may be making things worse. Perhaps a better approach might be to demand that all leaders enter their positions with clean records. I do not understand how so many community leaders choose to see past histories of racial discrimination, racial and sexual harassment, abuse of power, and alleged corruption. There is no shortage of talented, intelligent, hard-working, and ethical candidates in our county. Why not give an opportunity to someone else? Even if one of the accusations has merit, shouldn't that be disqualifying? From the numerous troubling links and articles in the forwarded email, as a mother of two young adults, I was particularly impacted by this video, which illustrates some of the innumerous harms that result when police departments do not take adequate steps to eliminate systemic racism: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CDnvZRDBlRY/?utm_source=ig_web_button_native_share Our community deserves better. I hope that these charges - many of which had been raised previously - will be taken seriously. Our streets should be safe for everyone.

A border sign which greets millions of visitors visiting Palo Alto annually. That greeting, “Welcome to Palo Alto” represents a sign of friendship. However, for those who live just a stone’s throw away, in East Palo Alto, it’s more like an International Border crossing with unspoken conditions of travel appearing to be specially designed for the vast majority of African Americans and Latino Americans who live in East Palo Alto. Fear of being pulled over The welcoming sign, for many represents’ a sign of fear as one East Palo Alto business owner, Elwyn Rainer of Rainers Service Station put it; “The majority of Hispanics and African Americans are afraid to travel over to Palo Alto in fear of being pulled over and searched for no reasons”. “Research has verified that people of color are more often stopped than whites” as reported in one study by the Office of Justice Programs. In fact, Mr. Rainer describes himself as the “Poster Child” of what he perceives as racially motivated vehicle stops by the Menlo Park and Palo Alto police departments based solely upon the color of his skin. In one of Mr. Rainer’s many vehicle stops the officer did state the reason why he was pulled over. The officer explained, t was because as he put it, “your bumper went over the white pedestrian crossing line”. “It doesn’t matter what I’m being pulled over for I’m always asked; “Are you on probation, recently released from jail all asked all in one breathe” as he put it. Questioning intensifies That’s when the line of questioning intensifies; “Do you mind if we search your vehicle”? He said, “It makes you afraid so I always consent out of fear”. Mr. Rainer admittedly said that he does have a “colorful past” and did not disclose what the past was. None-the- less he no longer travels over to Palo Alto. Many of the perceived unspoken travel requirements necessary before entering Palo Alto by East Palo Alto citizens include, functioning taillights, current registration, license, both plates, insurance, no strong odors and having the right tattoos of all things. Recent border crossing from East Palo Alto That was the experience of one recent border crossing detainment by the Palo Alto police department involving two East Palo Alto Latino citizens while traveling on University Ave. She relates, “They had stopped us because the car didn't have the front license plate; he first explained why he had pulled us over but then right after he asked my boyfriend if he has ever been in trouble before. He asked how old were we and took down my information, within seconds he asked my boyfriend to step out the car and questioned him about his tattoos on both arms (his last name). After minutes of having him by the police car, the cop asked me to get out the car and asked me to empty out my pocket's and also he searched my boyfriend and the car. He had said it smelled like the illegal substance Marijuana, when he had searched the car he didn't find anything. After he was done he kept questioning both of us about where did we live and what we’re we doing in Palo Alto”. Just being stopped by the police under any circumstance can be nerve racking in itself. However, we believe the nature or line questions asked in these two cases in our opinion appears to be discriminatory and biased in nature with the intent of targeting minorities and or the disenfranchised. Attempted explanation Not so! And in explaining the vehicle stop which occurred recently on University Ave, Palo Alto police Lieutenant now Captain Zachary Perron states; “every vehicle stop is different. There are many reasons why an officer might request an occupant to get out of a vehicle during a detention; in fact, case law allows officers to do it on any stop". It would be irresponsible for me to speculate about why any officer would ask occupants to step out of a vehicle on any particular stop, since each stop is different.” However, “building better community relations” is still one of the primary concerns of law enforcement throughout the country. That is why every action by a law enforcement officer has a bearing on the relationship of the agency with the community. Since most citizens come into contact with law enforcement officers at traffic stops, this becomes a critical element for law enforcement agencies in their overall public relations effort. "Traffic enforcement offers agencies a way to build bridges to the community, one traffic stop at a time”. As cited by the International Association of Chiefs of Police Disturbing questions remain Were disappointed but not surprised that captan Zachary Perron did not address the all important questions of; "have you ever been arrested or are you on probation" as the first questions asked in the two East Palo Alto vehicle stop examples. We beleive the average citizen no matter what their ethnicity, would find these questions to be derogatory, inflammatory, offensive and discriminatory and in no way designed to build trust especially within minority communities. Lastly, we strongly feel as suggested by the International Association of Chiefs of Police that: "The first words spoken by the officer may very well determine the tone of the encounter and even the eventual outcome" in building better community relationships especially among minorities”.

The Palo Alto city budget now has a $40 million surplus. Halt office building! Support low-moderate income housing development. Bring back La Comida lunches to downtown, to five or six of the currently empty rooms at Avenidas. Then up to 500 seniors a week would not be in line to get a tray in the rain, then scurry home or eat alone on the streets. Develop a rent stabilization and just cause eviction ordinance.NOW.

A few of us give clothing, supplies to these women around the downtown. They are not computer literate. WeHope in EPA is mostly for men and often overcrowded. Heart & Home is hard to reach. When we have offered a ride most refuse. We need caaregivers to treat these women with cre, gently get to know them, and then help them get to warm, safe place. Heart&Home is hard to reach. One day I had convinced one woman to go with me, and i went home to get her my down jacket, and when i returned she was gone. Several live in their cars behind churches, etc. They need much more help. They don't refuse money, but tht is not enough. Agin,my thanks.

Tasers are very expensive to purchase and maintain and the weapon fails in the field approximately 50% of time they are deployed. Tasers deaths in this country are now well over 1000. 85% or more of those who die were unarmed at the time the Taser was deployed. A hugely disproportionate number of those who die after being tasered are black, brown or suffering from a severe mental illness. It is time we ask our city manager and police chief to explore the possibility of shelving Tasers permanently in Palo Alto.

Stand up to the pro-Israel lobby and help us reach our goal  6     Packet Pg. 137     Dear Aram, After years of following and supporting Independent Jewish Voices’ work, I finally decided to join as a member in September of this year. And I couldn’t be more fiercely proud to have done so. When I joined, it was at the height of a nasty smear campaign led by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) against the NDP and our leader, Jagmeet Singh. CIJA had the chutzpah to go after Jagmeet simply because the NDP had recently released a bold policy platform that condemned Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights. The attacks, as usual, were cartoonishly vicious and entirely unfounded. IJV was the only Canadian Jewish group to stand up and say “not in our name”, and to defend Jagmeet and the NDP from this broadside in bad-faith. Regardless of your political leanings, our democracy is diminished when people, parties, or organizations get misrepresented and smeared simply for defending human rights. Aram, IJV is in the very last week of our 6     Packet Pg. 138     fundraising campaign. We only have $2000 left to go before we make it over the finish line and hit our goal of $75 000. Will you join me in making a donation today to get us there? Donate today and help us over the finish line Or better yet, why not join as a member or supporter as I did? Joining is the best way to show our strength in numbers and build the Palestine solidarity movement in Canada. As a Jewish New Democrat, and former federal candidate, I’m proud of the NDP’s new 13 point policy on Israel-Palestine. It’s grounded in a moral clarity that is vanishingly rare in Canadian foreign policy, and it came about because grassroots activists like you and I fought for it. Conservative Zionist groups like CIJA are out of touch and out of sync with the progressive Jewish community on Israel-Palestine. That’s why more and more of us are joining IJV, and expressing outrage over Israel's many indefensible policies. With Israel having elected its most right wing and overtly racist government ever, we are seeing CIJA and its allies reach new heights of desperation, viciousness, and moral bankruptcy. We need IJV to embody the values of social justice and respect for fundamental human rights that are so starkly absent in those aggressively puffed-up self-proclaimed pillars of the Jewish community in Canada. Challenge the pro-Israel lobby: donate today So I was also proud to sign IJV’s Together Against Apartheid pledge earlier this year, and I was thrilled to see my signature alongside dozens of Canadian elected officials from all levels of government! This is really the first time in Canadian history that so many of our leaders have been unafraid to use the term “Israeli apartheid”, and it’s much on account of IJV’s work. This crucial organization, and the inspiring and thankless work it does deserves your support today. Please consider donating whatever your means allow. In passionate solidarity, 6     Packet Pg. 139     Donate to IJV or become a member!

Donna Freedom March/Rally for IRAN: "Woman, Life, Freedom", "Free All Political Prisoners", "No to Execution", "No to Islamic Republic of Iran" Sat, Dec 17, 2022 2:00pm - 4:00pm | US/Pacific Location: San Jose City Hall Plaza Category: Rallies, Vigils, and Actions Description December 10th marks the Global Human Rights Day with the slogan of “Dignity, Freedom, Justice for All!” which coincides with the execution of many protestors (without any access to attorney) in Iran. On Saturday Dec 17th, we will protest and urge the community and authorities to demand the release all political prisoners without delay and continue calls to the Iranian government to halt its systematic targeting, harassment, detention and execution of Iranians rightfully exercising their right to free expression. The first women-led revolutionary uprising for a Democratic Iran will foster peace in the Middle East which can lead to a titanic change in the world. We invite the media to echo our global outcry to the atrocities of Iranian regime and its disregard for basic human rights before it’s too late. Please come to this momentous event and see how Iranians and our Bay Area supporters are excited and extremely enthusiastic about inevitable regime change in Iran.

In case of conflict in your schedule, we are more than happy to forward a video of our event upon your confirmation. Sincerely Yours, BayArea4Iran Media Team Megan: 925-212-5575 Yasaman: 510-396-7901 Daryoush: 650-814-9376 Arzhang: 408-439-3527 Background: Since the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16, 2022, at the hands of the morality police, an estimated 459 innocent protestors have been killed, including 70 minors (amnesty international). Over 18,000 social activists, journalists, lawyers, artists and students have been jailed without access to attorneys-several of whom have been sentenced to death and their lawyers arrested. "The Iranian authorities executed today a young protester, Mohsen Shekari, after he was convicted and sentenced to death in proceedings that bore no resemblance to a meaningful trial for participating in the ongoing popular uprising across the country, said Amnesty International today." Amnesty International has identified 20 people at risk of execution in connection with the protests. They include: 11 individuals sentenced to death: Sahand Nourmohammad-Zadeh; Mahan Sadrat (Sedarat) Madani; Manouchehr Mehman Navaz; Mohammad Boroughani; Mohammad Ghobadlou; Saman Seydi (Yasin); Hamid Ghare Hasanlou; Mohammad Mehdi Karami; Sayed Mohammad Hosseini; Hossein Mohammadi; andan unnamed individual in Alborz province. Three individuals who have undergone trials on capital charges and who are either at risk of being sentenced to death or may have already been sentenced to death, with no publicly available information on their status: Saeed Shirazi; Abolfazl Mehri Hossein Hajilou; and Mohsen Rezazadeh Gharegholou. Six individuals who may be awaiting or undergoing trial on charges carrying the death penalty: Akbar Ghafari; Toomaj Salehi; Ebarhim Rigi; Amir Nasr Azadani; Saleh Mirhashemi; and Saeed Yaghoubi.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links.  Aram – Colorado AG Phil Weiser here. As a proud Jew, I have not hesitated to discuss my faith or family history in public life. I am well aware of and pained by the rising levels of antisemitism and hate of all kinds that we are now witnessing in our nation. And I refuse to be silent. I discussed this threat recently at a commemoration of the Babi Yar massacre that occurred during the Holocaust. For my family, the Holocaust is personal. My grandparents and my mom survived the Holocaust, and their stories of resilience are a source of inspiration to me. Indeed, my mom is one of the youngest Holocaust survivors alive. She was born in the Buchenwald concentration camp, and she and my grandmother were liberated a week later by the U.S. Army. They made the long journey to the United States because of our nation’s commitment to freedom and opportunity for all. As a nation, we must stand up for our motto – from many, we are one (e 6     Packet Pg. 155     pluribus unum) – and we must all speak out against hate and discrimination of all kinds. The same type of hate that America’s Jewish communities are experiencing right now surfaced when a violent attack was perpetrated against the LGBTQIA+ community in Colorado Springs. And that same hate reared its ugly head in an attack against African Americans in Buffalo last spring. As the Anti-Defamation League emphasizes, hate against one group is hate against everyone. I’m grateful for Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff standing up and speaking out against antisemitism on a national – and international – level. We need more people speaking out against the hatred we’re facing, and I join him in this fight. We must refuse to be afraid, and we must call out hate when we see it. As Jews around the world approach the lighting of the Hanukkah menorah, we can focus on what each of us can do to bring light into darkness. That includes the work we do to overcome rising hate with love, heeding the words of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. My grandmother lived that value – she remained positive, and she never gave up hope. Together, we can all do our part to heal our world, recognizing, as it is said in scripture, that while “we are not required to complete the work, we are not free to desist from doing our part.” Thanks, Phil Phil Weiser Attorney General, Colorado 6     Packet Pg. 156     Democratic AGs truly are “The People’s Lawyers” and DAGA is the only partycommittee devoted to electing more of them.

Warm Seasons Greetings; Horrible Mayor, Honorable members of City Council, City Manager, Human Relations Commission, the City of Palo Alto Police Department , The City of Palo Alto, Development Services Center, and the Independent Police Auditor "OIR Group". I hope everyone is having a good day today! I really appreciate all of the long hours of hard work and dedication it takes to run a City Government, as a former Senior Government official myself! So naturally, I am interested in local government. I frequent the internet to learn what different local government bodies do similarly and differently as to further my overall understanding. Today, I was settling down to enjoy a few YouTube Videos when I happened upon a Video with a rather lengthy title "BLOW UP BY PUBLIC WORKERS" PALO ALTO FIRST AMENDMENT" on YouTube. Intrigued, I decided to watch. First, please allow me to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Leadership of The City of Palo Alto Police Department and especially, the responding Officers who handled this situation perfectly! Due to your obvious attention to maintaining a high Standard of Ethics, Accountability, Respect for Citizen's Constitutional Rights, and Training, these Officers were able to reflect great honor on themselves, their fellow Officers, The City of Palo Alto Police Department, The City of Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, the State of California and The United States Of America! During this point in U.S History, there is a high level of distrust of Law Enforcement and Government in large swaths of various Communities. Let the men and women of Palo Alto's Police Department continue to be a beacon of hope for us all moving forward! Our Country can and must do better! Throughout history our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds; to believe that together, with God's help, we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us. And, after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans! The City of Palo Alto's Development Services Center, unfortunately didn't fare as well in this popular Video on YouTube! I take no pleasure in this portion of my correspondence with you but while I believe it's important to recognize outstanding behavior of City Officials and Staff, it's also necessary to address the negative...All of the abhorrent conduct we see, was a direct result of poor Leadership and training! Anyone working in Government should at the very least, have a basic understanding of Citizens Rights! Each Public servant, in my experience, takes an oath to uphold these Rights as an initial formality of their employment. Along with that oath should be required training about what Rights they swore to uphold! We don't expect 6     Packet Pg. 161     our Public Servants to be Constitutional Scholars! However, Public service is a public trust, requiring you to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws, and ethical principles! One of my favorite quotes comes from, German Philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, from his book, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims. He says; “It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter.... an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.” Unprofessionalism in Government damages reputation and tarnishes the trust of society, in a society that has little trust in Government already! Contrary to what I saw, as The City of Palo Alto's Development Services Center, We the People expect you to; invest in building bridges to the communities you serve, investing further in Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Truth, not lies. Let us not make those aforementioned virtues relics of the past... Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. It is hereby my recommendation, the appropriate Staff of The City of Palo Alto's Development Services Center, be immediately admonished and receive disciplinary action up to and including suspension or termination! Thanks! And Merry Christmas -- D. Nugent U.S Army Veteran And A Nice Guy! dnugent73@gmail.com “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God cannot retain it.” ― Abraham Lincoln 6     Packet Pg. 162     From:Aram James To:Lee, Craig Cc:Shikada, Ed; Julie Lythcott-Haims; Kou, Lydia; Greg Tanaka; Pat Burt; Greer Stone; Vicki Veenker; Ed Lauing; Sean Allen; Joe Simitian; Jethroe Moore; Human Relations Commission; Dave Price; Binder, Andrew; Reifschneider, James; Wagner, April; Perron, Zachary; Braden Cartwright; Council, City; Foley, Michael Subject:"BLOW UP BY PUBLIC WORKERS" PALO ALTO FIRST AMENDMENT Date:Wednesday, December 21, 2022 1:51:04 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

JETHROE MOORE -with a compelling quote by Malcolm X Date:Friday, December 30, 2022 8:19:32 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. When White people stand up for themselves, it is called “fighting for freedom” or exercising your constitutional rights. When Black people and other people of color speak out publicly against racist and violent discrimination K9’s use, we are exhorted to remain peaceful. We are experiencing an unprecedented acknowledgement of the systemic racism and White privilege that permeates our police departments, courts, prisons, and entire criminal justice system including juries, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. And K9 use. There are at least as many people in Santa Clara County who still deny that racism exists and who still see Civil right advocates as terrorists and criminals. Investigations into the police departments across this nation found that police dogs’ bit non-White people almost exclusively. This is not “Fake” news. A dog must pass a basic obedience training course before they can be considered for a police department. It’s essential that they obey a handler’s commands without any hesitation. Yet time and time again the videos show the k9 failure to obey in any language. Yet the requirements clearly require the handler must always have complete control over the dog’s actions, including how much force they use with a suspect. I believe in banning canine units altogether, except for search and rescue, bomb disclosure and other non-apprehension reasons. either narcotics OR explosives, and used only for tracking, lost persons location, or cadaver detection is needed. Not violent attack dogs, Courts have recognized that properly trained patrol dogs are a “non-deadly force.” the Police Executive Research Forum, recently called for clearer national standards to ensure all agencies have protocols for canine use. Suggest you read, K-9 CATCH-22: THE IMPOSSIBLE DILEMMA OF USING POLICE DOGS ON APPREHENSION OF SUSPECTS Ann L.

Both were killed by stab wounds while attempting to apprehend suspects. The man who killed Rocco received significant jail time for stabbing and killing the dog, while the man who killed Aren was fatally shot as a direct result of his actions toward the canine. While Rocco was vocally celebrated in the community, and sympathy primarily focused on the canine, the deaths of Aren and the suspect who killed him, Brian Kelley, Jr., led to a very different response. In the aftermath of the 2016 incident, there was significant vocal outcry from a variety of advocates (for both humans and animals) concerning the injustice of using K-9 officers to apprehend suspects and calling for a ban on such practices. Certainly, Pittsburgh’s experiences are not unique, although they present a vivid backdrop for the discussion of whether K-9s should be used for apprehension of suspects and under what circumstances. This Article explores the legal and ethical questions surrounding the use of police dogs, specifically in the realm of apprehending suspects where a violent interaction between human and canine is inevitable. The Fourth Amendment allows the use of canine force against persons if “reasonable” under the totality of the circumstances, based on the officer’s observations. However, that totality of circumstances does not take into account the very real and very reasonable fear response induced in humans by an animal attack, that in some cases compels the suspect to defend themselves and thus places the suspect at risk for further violence, and the police dog at risk for injury or death. Further, while any suspect may be compelled to resist or defend itself against a police dog, the historical use of police dogs against African Americans, coupled with the deployment of police dogs more frequently in minority communities, may tend to put African Americans at greater risk in this “K-9 catch-22.” Ultimately, this Article considers the question of whether, in light of human behavioral fear response to animal attacks coupled with examples of implicit racial bias, using police dogs in apprehension is ever truly “reasonable.” Repository Citation Schiavone, A.

When it comes to imposing pain on prisoners, I come back to the real menches who endure the pain before they give an opinion on whether or not to use it on prisoners. Richard Armitage, John Mc Cain, damned few have volunteered to try out receiving taser strikes and then approved that torture for others. Seems to me to make a decision on one's impressions of what others experience without any first hand knowledge oneself aren't worth much. Those brave enough to endure before pronouncing have my attention.

JETHROE MOORE -with a compelling quote by Malcolm X   When White people stand up for themselves, it is called “fighting for freedom” or exercising your constitutional rights. When Black people and other people of color speak out publicly against racist and violent discrimination K9’s use, we are exhorted to remain peaceful. We are experiencing an unprecedented acknowledgement of the systemic racism and White privilege that permeates our police departments, courts, prisons, and entire criminal justice system including juries, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. And K9 use. There are at least as many people in Santa Clara County who still deny that racism exists and who still see Civil right advocates as terrorists and criminals. Investigations into the police departments across this nation found that police dogs’ bit non-White people almost exclusively. This is not “Fake” news. A dog must pass a basic obedience training course before they can be considered for a police department. It’s essential that they obey a handler’s commands without any hesitation. Yet time and time again the videos show the k9 failure to obey in any language. Yet the requirements clearly require the handler must always have complete control over the dog’s actions, including how much force they use with a suspect. I believe in banning canine units altogether, except for search and rescue, bomb disclosure and other non-apprehension reasons. either narcotics OR explosives, and used only for tracking, lost persons location, or cadaver detection is needed. Not violent attack dogs, Courts have recognized that properly trained patrol dogs are a “non- deadly force.” the Police Executive Research Forum, recently called for clearer national standards to ensure all agencies have protocols for canine use.
