@dianesequoiare1 We’re not increasing spending on cops—cuts will apply to police and other programs to balance the budget — PolitiTweet.org

@emyrakhannavoj We have no authority over any school funding decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@emyrakhannavoj In California, schools are not funded through cities—our funding decisions have no impact on schools. We help support after-school and other educational programs, eg, for the digital divide — PolitiTweet.org

@raymundofoo Sure, but bluntly, it’s not saying much—police union opposed me consistently, and have never contributed to support my candidacy for any seat. They spent hundreds of thousands against me in 2014 Mayor’s race. They supported measures I’ve led, but all of that is very public — PolitiTweet.org

My response to protest for change is to reform—not to defund. Safety from police violence is a civil right, and safety from all violence is a human right. https://t.co/lYTqR5jyyJ — PolitiTweet.org

After evaluating information presented at today’s hearing, I’ve decided to support a ban on SJPD’s use of rubber bullets in crowded areas, as we saw during last week’s protests. We have seen too many injured here, and studies we’ve cited suggest this is not a safe tactic. — PolitiTweet.org

Today @ 1:00 PM: I'll testify before the Assembly on Senate Bill 350. This testimony comes after co-authoring a letter (https://t.co/ws8qTSWcgg) calling for amendments to SB-350 + urging the CPUC to reject PG&E’s proposed plan. To watch: https://t.co/JAl22hp9q0. — PolitiTweet.org

@juliekrose @CityofSanJose Yes—housing is funded through low & mod income housing fund, cdbg, Measure E, HOPWA, and other capital funding sources — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@juliekrose @CityofSanJose That’s because those percentages are extremely misleading—the graph refers only to the General Fund, and ignores 2/3 of the other funds in the budget — PolitiTweet.org

@jennwadsworth Puzzling couple of tweets, @jennwadsworth. My memo refers to injuries in other cities b/c those are only medical studies available. My memo & statements came out prior to ABC news story. As soon as I learned of Derrick’s identify as a victim, I denounced injury as “wrong.” https://t.co/2x2jk9lWVh — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@svdebug If I said that, then I misspoke. I know of several people who have been injured here. The studies I referred to in my memo related to serious injuries and deaths in other cities. Thanks — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@qmriis @sjpdchief @SanJosePD That has been the pattern in San José as well for the last four days. We don’t have cops show up in riot gear for peaceful protests—only where there are several in the crowd engaged in violent conduct — PolitiTweet.org

@BardOfBoston @chappiejones @CM_Magdalena @CMRaulPeralez @LTDiep Yes, Erik, i absolutely made the mistake of misspelling his name. And I have a pretty busy job that leaves me with very little time to enrage on social media, so I type quickly and make other mistakes too. — PolitiTweet.org
