Thank you Sharon.

He has been leading the movement for some time to reduce penalties for minors, to expunge criminal histories for minors, and to decriminalize offenses. From the reporting I've seen, most of the carjackings are being committed by minors, and the police are demoralized because there is basically total impunity for underage offenders. It's not like Mr. Allen's positions on these things are new or surprising. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Oct 22, 2023 at 3:56 PM Austin Durrer <<a href="mailto:austin.durrer@gmail.com" target="_blank">austin.durrer@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr"></div><div dir="ltr">Yes to this.

But if we don’t have enough officers and FEMS is slowed, we can’t expect rapid response. And we can’t pin all the blame on 911, the council forgot the critical priority for safety that should have been collateral and never secondary to anything else.
