Civil rights are being obliterated, he supports police in using excessive force, the right for peaceful protest is being squashed by Trump the “The want to be” dictator.

URLEIA sets in place ongoing pattern or practice (POP) investigations in every community throughout the United States. A Pattern or Practice Investigation is the tool the Department of Justice (DOJ) currently uses to curtail unconstitutional policing in local jurisdictions. Investigations are usually commenced by DOJ after highly-publicized use-of-force events such as the shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson or the asphyxiation of George Floyd in Minnesota. URLEIA allows for the early identification and permanent removal of problem officers. URLEIA also introduces a host of new nationwide standards for policing, including a national use-of-force statute, training requirements, monitoring and measurement mechanisms, policies for interfacing with disabled citizens as well as quality standards that give rise to a best-in-class policing culture. URLEIA's foundational principle is "smart policing," which imposes upon law enforcement officers an obligation to preserve life and prevent injury. URLEIA introduces a national data repository that will capture data on every law enforcement agent and entity in the United States, including local policing jurisdictions, jails, prisons, juvenile facilities and private-duty security.

By ordering the forceful removal of Black Lives Matter protesters from Lafayette Square and St. John's Church property on Jun 1, 2020, solely for the purpose of facilitating an unnecessary and ill conceived photo shoot by Mr. Trump, Mr. Barr has blatantly abused the First Amendment rights of peaceful American citizens. Mr. Trump had neither notified nor received permission from the church for this photo shoot. This is both a serious abuse of power and demonstrates a clear lack of regard for safety and the Constitutional rights of American citizens. Mr. Barr no longer has the trust of the American public, as head of the US Justice Department, to ensure Justice for All!

R1 zoning is for single-family residences. It was never intended to house 20 plus inmates next to families with children or near seniors and pre-schools. In a community that is already overburdened with homeless shelters, permanent supportive housing, gang violence, and several other transitional housing during a time of a pandemic and civil unrest our elected leaders should have considered those who live in the area and notified the community as they are obligated to do so and obtain feedback. Although, transitional housing may have some benefits the disadvantages are greater. Homeowners have spent their life savings to buy their homes. Children and preschoolers should live in a safe environment and as our recent pandemic has proven. Density housing is a failure and should never be rushed into. A single home with over 20 people who are violent offenders should have never been rushed into.

This is important because a lot of people had their stimulus checks and unemployment loaded to the app and now they are unable to pay Bill's or do anything because all of the money is being held by cash app.

For decades we have watched, appalled, while the police have engaged in brutal attacks against Californians, especially if they happen to be people of color. The police are our employees. We literally pay their salaries and benefits. It is we the taxpayers who pay out huge settlements in the rare instances when the police are found guilty of engaging in brutal acts against us. Instead of working with us to stop police violence, they have exhibited a sneering disregard for our concerns and have militarized against us. It is not right that we the people are afraid of our employees and what they might do to us. That dynamic needs to be reversed. Immediate action to fix the situation is needed. Not long-term studies, not coffee meetings with local police or fruitless efforts to get them to take us seriously, not empty promises by politicians. We require the California legislature to take action NOW.

This is to save what is left of the United States. We as Americans have to do our part in making sure we save our country.

The justice system needs to be reformed. We must act to remove those who tarnish the system. We must revisit how we are training police. We must evaluate how the hiring process works. We must enable the so called good police to weed out bad ones. We must end the war on drugs that continues to put non-violent offenders in for-profit prisons.

To preserve the constitution, save the country from further descending into anarchy, chaos, and civil war.

If George Floyd’s murder wasn’t filmed, no one would know what happened. If cops are required to wear body cams, they would be more careful and there would be less killings of innocent black people.

People taking to the streets to peacefully display their anger and concerns seems to have only added fodder for the President’s plan to feed the fear and hate machine exacerbating the issue and moving us closer and closer to anarchy and his ultimate goal of Marshall Law and dictatorship. For the sake of our future, I think that all elected representatives should be working to produce a collective show of leadership that this country has seldom seen and one that will defy detractors from diminishing its message.
