Thank you for serving.My family disapproves of shifting funds from the Police Department to other experiments.We support the community affirming and convincing ethnic-minority community members that they are fullywelcome and encouraged to participate fully and freely. But we understand that no one benefits if the police can't,or aren't allowed to, limit each one's victimization.We expect that the Police, Judges, and DA's office will treat everyone with respect while applying the community'slaws. They didn't make the laws. The people's representatives, such as yourself, did, and with much publiccomment. Each of us must honor the laws once we have them put in place, or the most extreme agents will becometyrants. The Police play a vital role in this, and we gladly do our part in funding their work.
