@discophil @woteyesea Agreed wholeheartedly about the lack of major network attention to San Jose. We simply have no control over what the networks do—they’re private companies. All city council meetings can be viewed live on city free access cable channel or online via https://t.co/AaxrctTqs0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@howtoraiseajerk @markgsheppard Actually, the greatest demands I routinely hear for more policing (back when we were able to have community meetings) come from our least affluent neighborhoods most afflicted by crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Jay Paul’s CityView project will bring all-electric buildings, protected raised bike lanes on San Fernando St, & 15k+ permanent jobs to our residents. This extraordinary investment in Downtown San José is a critical step to bolster #SVRecovery. https://t.co/gdHIPUwnrj — PolitiTweet.org

@cheyacary No i didn’t say that—and your RT proves it — PolitiTweet.org

@Madelyn_Teresa @CityofSanJose And (4) the rollover contract contains an explicit reopener to allow for negotiation of arbitration & other police reforms. We are bound by state law (MMB Act) & must negotiate all changes w/union. This is best path to change the contract—by far. (3/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@Madelyn_Teresa @CityofSanJose ...which will allow for a full negotiation of new contract that wasn’t possible during COVID, (3) there was no “easing up”; only option under state law to arbitration is commission that is typically v. pro-employee. Best course lies in implementing reforms to arb process (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@Madelyn_Teresa @CityofSanJose You’re making a lot of inaccurate assumptions. Some factual context: (1) the police contract expired two weeks ago, and had to be renewed quickly, or they’d be operating without a contract, (2) the “new” contract is a simple “rollover” for a 0% increase for 12 months...(1/3) — PolitiTweet.org

@sanjosefoos I can’t—it’s not my order. County and State issue all health orders. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@svdebug @dereckapurnell No—not accusing anyone of doing so “thoughtlessly.” I do believe, though, we need more evidence than what exists so far (eg Eugene). Let’s put down verbal weapons for a moment. SJ’s public process to reimagine policing can provide a forum for exchange of data, studies, & ideas — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: Many indoor businesses in Santa Clara County will close starting Wednesday, July 15 following a new State mandate to reduce the spread of COVID-19 across CA. Find more details here: https://t.co/acAXQzMHRq. https://t.co/1r2HNu9UmA — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@svdebug @dereckapurnell I don’t “dismiss abolitionists for not caring about victims or safety,” as author suggests. rather, alternative approaches to respond to crime will take time, resources, & study—and I don’t believe it’s ok to simply lay off hundreds of cops w/ the hope that “we’ll figure it out” — PolitiTweet.org

@BardOfBoston @LondonBreed And she governs a city with three times as many officers per capital as San Jose, a larger city. We defunded a decade ago—we’re not following a city that’s spending 3x on Police per capital what we are. LA isn’t far behind SF — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@BrianWheatley7 I didn’t say “all lives matter.” Please stop mischaracterizing my response. Very important distinction: I said that we can protect black lives and all lives. The BLM movement is consistent with an approach that protects all human life — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@markgsheppard And we’ve reduced police funding this year. But don’t confuse “broad consensus“ with what anyone reads on their twitter feed. The majority of Americans oppose defunding (3 polls). Can we reimagine policing and have officers responding to fewer nonviolent calls? Absolutely. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@AscendedSaiyaji I used the important conjunction “and”—I believe in and support Black Lives Matter. I don’t believe that it’s in any way inconsistent with the notion of protecting all lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

To save Black lives—and all lives—there are better alternatives to defunding the police— I’ve pushed multiple new City investments in education since 2015 for the very reasons cited by this Harvard economist. https://t.co/6tWA3Fo5NR — PolitiTweet.org

@EcoSocYogi @ashely57738710 @CM_Magdalena I can assure you that is not accurate. Police do not consume anywhere near 34% of our $4.1 B budget, as you claim. Here are the city’s budget documents, which have been online for several months: https://t.co/tN0AZ1wp3K — PolitiTweet.org
