Today @ 1 PM: We're paying tribute to Black victims & communities of color who’ve been targeted, stereotyped, & oppressed—observing 8.46 min of silence in representation of the time George Floyd was pinned down by Minneapolis police. #NotOneMore https://t.co/XQem2Cat2t https://t.co/iMKl85LuaM — PolitiTweet.org

@ashely57738710 @possiblyoprah @andrewhake @sjpdchief I agree that there should be greater transparency and accountability in that state law — PolitiTweet.org

In San José, we'll raise the spirit of peaceful protests w/o allowing instigators damaging our city to prevail or undermine this movement. Join volunteer efforts to clean our cityscape + #BeautifySJ today from 10 AM - 2 PM: https://t.co/TQxg5kdZxk. https://t.co/afuG6UWtEh — PolitiTweet.org

@AJealousMonk That officer has been taken off the streets and an imvestigation. I condemn the conduct as I did publicly Sunday. I have zero authority to impose discipline or any remedy within the department until the city charter is changed by the voters — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@andrewhake The city charter doesn’t give me authority to fire anyone outside of my own office. California law restricts how cities can deal with discipline and termination, and the law doesn’t allow it to happen that quickly. https://t.co/QzSdgu1qqh — PolitiTweet.org

I walked out of City Hall yesterday to kneel with protestors & express a simple message: I hear you. https://t.co/PfUSkdjTvb — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

I took a knee w/ protestors—as a man of great privilege—to express a simple message: I hear you. We must listen to the calls for change + reform from the masses, & identify the few who wish to inflect harm on our beloved San José. #ICantBreathe https://t.co/PfUSkdjTvb — PolitiTweet.org

We can see the heart of our city as thousands of San Joséans assemble—many peacefully—in protest of racial injustice. We’ll cont. coming together in the days ahead to care for each other & #BeautifySJ from graffiti + blight. I hope you'll join us: https://t.co/TQxg5kdZxk. https://t.co/pmSFfmIhwP — PolitiTweet.org

@MaggieAngst @sjpdchief @SanJosePD @FreedomofPress @mercnews Maggie, I’m troubled to read this, and I’m sorry for it, and for what you and the person accompanying you have endured. Chief Garcia is trying to determine the identity of the officers involved, and to get to the bottom of it. I will call you later today. — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinLiao_ @sjpdchief Kevin, don’t you work for the California legislature? The answer is that state law (PORAC) makes it impossible for any city in California to do so without extensive process & hearings. He is under investigation and has been taken off the street pending review — PolitiTweet.org

@danieljmuller @CityofSanJose Please see @CityofSanJose’s post w/ more info here: https://t.co/TnvPCoLzXh — Team Liccardo https://t.co/RcfotpCk9o — PolitiTweet.org

Effective today: @CityofSanJose implements citywide curfew from 8:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. for the next 7 days (or until further notice). I’m joined by City Manager Dave Sykes and SJPD Chief Eddie Garcia to offer more information for our community. https://t.co/CNKL4MpEiq — PolitiTweet.org

@rickyealcaraz Hey Ricky, we do very little weed cleaning or sidewalk repaving anywhere in the city because of budget constraints. If you’re willing to join us in community cleanup, I’ll be there with volunteers at a couple of sites —just send an email to [email protected]. Thanks! — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Leaders & communities across the country are hearing the call for change, to address the longstanding scourge of racial injustice in our nation. We must listen, but not allow those using destructive + violent means to hijack that important message. 📺:@CNNSitRoom w/ @wolfblitzer https://t.co/BVlLoGV3fz — PolitiTweet.org

@RobMetzgar Rob, re the vehicle injuring two victims, and the shots fired by the County Sheriff’s Deputy: It’s under investigation by SJPD, and we will have very public discussions & accountability. My observation of SJPD from 300 ft away for a couple hours revealed admirable restraint — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ortizrobert10 Thursday, @sjpdchief released independent study of #SJPD use of force & race data, showing progress in deescalation & racial equity. November, we will ask voters to reform our charter to expand scope of @SanJoseIPA police audit authority. Much more has been underway, & to come — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Prayers for those injured by the SUV driver who drove into the crowd last night. Should any protests resume: please, for your safety, stay home. Despite peaceful intentions of most protesters, a few seek violence and destruction of our city. https://t.co/kNYIkfaAjC — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@lucgiraffe Here’s a photo that you just posted. A cop was assaulted and sent to the hospital, bottles and live fireworks were thrown at cops, etc—most protesters were peaceful; a small number were hurtful. I welcome a dialogue. https://t.co/zaNU5BfHGY — PolitiTweet.org

@srijanaa I’m happy to host one. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@srijanaa One officer was knocked unconscious and treated at hospital. Protesters throwing bottles & small fireworks at cops, broken windows, fires, vandalism, etc. When a few people get violent or seek to destroy our city, the police must disperse the crowd, or much worse ensues — PolitiTweet.org
