@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

@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

@markgsheppard Yes, and we’ve reduced police funding this year — 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

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@EcoSocYogi @CM_Magdalena factual context: (1) police comprise ca 12% of our 4.1 B budget—focusing only onGen Fund is misleading (2) SJ= very familiar w/defunding, losing 600 police officers net between ‘09 & ‘14, & we cut SJPD budget this year (3)cities don’t fund Calif schools—school districts/state do — PolitiTweet.org

@Joy03997447 @mayorsforagi Would be happy to if the Fed Govt wanted to find — but in a city of our size, that’s $12 billion annually, 3x our entire city budget, and not likely to happen.
