POLICING
I AM ON THE RE IMAGINE POLICING TASK FORCE AS WELL AS SIT ON SEVERAL BOARDS SUCH AS THE REINTEGRATION , D.A ADVISORY BOARD,
POLICING,
I WANT EVERYONE TO OVERSTAND THAT I INTEND ON DEFUNDING, ABOLISHING AND PUNISHING THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY. PUNISHING THE POLICE IS IMPORTANT, THE ABUSE, THE BELLIGERENT DISRESPECT, THE KILLING, WRONGFUL TARGETING, INCARCERATION OF OUR PEOPLE HAS TO END AND END NOW. I WILL TREAT THIS AS A STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR OUR BLACK COMMUNITY THE PUSHING GUNS AND DRUGS AND FORCING THE ACTIVE SNITCHING POLICY MUST BE ADDRESSED. PUNISHING THE POLICE LIKE I HAVE AND WILL REITERATE MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THIS.
FOR MORE THAN 7 DECADES THEY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH MURDER, PUSHING DRUGS AND GUNS INTO OUR COMMUNITY TERRORIZING FALSE INCARCERATION, NOT TO MENTION HARASSING, BRUTALIZING AND LYING TO THE PEOPLE JUST FOR STARTERS.
HOWEVER, BEFORE ANY OF THIS WILL OCCUR I WILL PUT IN PLACE A FEW GROUPS. I WANT TO OFFER THESE PEOPLE GOOD WAGE AND BENEFITS TO DO THE JOB AND ACTUALLY FIND FULFILLMENT. SUCH GROUPS AS THE PANTHERS AND B.A.R.C (BROTHAS AGAINST RACIEST COPS)AND ANY WILLING BROTHA AND SISTA WHO WANTS TO SHOW COMPASSION AND DEFENSE TO PROTECT OUR MOST VULNERABLE BLACK PEOPLE WOMEN, CHILDREN, ELDERS, DISABLED. PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY DIFFERENTLY.
BEFORE THIS CAN TAKE PLACE I WILL ALLOCATE FUNDS FOR THESE PEOPLE TO HAVE TRAINING AND MENTAL HEALTH AND TEMPERAMENT ADDRESSED POSSIBLE BONDING AND INSURANCE COVERED AS WELL AS GUN TRAINING SELF DEFENSE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY S THAT THEY WILL PROTECT AND DEFEND WHEN NEEDED. THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT FORCE IS THE LAST RESORT AND COMPASSION AND DIRECTION IS THE FIRST CHOICE. SO LOOKING AT 6–8 MONTHS TO PULL SOME GREAT GROUPS TOGETHER TO TRAIN. AND ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS SO THEY CAN DO FOR THE PEOPLE.
I WANT TO OFFER PAY AND BENEFITS SUCH AS HAZARD PAY AND LIFE INSURANCE AND CREATE A UNION FOR THESE BROTHAS AND SISTAS. I WILL ALSO ALLOW THE REFORMED PREVIOUSLY INCARCERATED TO PARTICIPATE AS LONG AS THEY GO THROUGH THE SAME TRAINING AND DO A FEW OTHER COURSES WHERE THIER MENTAL HEALTH AND TEMPERAMENT CAN BE ACCESSED. FURTHERMORE, I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE WITH BACKGROUNDS OF UNDESIRABLE CHARGES TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE, MEANING SEXUAL CRIMES, BATTERY AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND OTHER INEXCUSABLE CHARGES WILL NOT BE EVEN DISCUSSED.
WE NEED DEFENSE AND PROTECTION AND I WANT TO FEEL LIKE I CAN TRUST YOU WITH MY LIFE SO I KNOW YOU'RE GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE. NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE. I DO HAVE A PLACE FOR PEOPLE LIKE THAT, JUST NOT IN THIS AREA. I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE POLICE AND DEFUNDING EVENTUALLY ABOLISHING THE POLICE AND REPLACING THIS BELLIGERENT DISRESPECTFUL AGENCY WITH A SYSTEM OF JUSTICE, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND REDIRECTION OF COMMUNITY INDIVIDUALS WITH SKILL SETS TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY, PROBLEM SOLVE CRITICAL SITUATIONS OFFER SOLUTIONS AND PROVIDE ACTUAL ASSISTANCE TO THE MASSES. IDEA IS TO ACTUALLY PROTECT THE MEMBERS AND LIFE, NOT TO CAUSE FUTURE HARM, TRAUMA.
I WILL PUT A OFFICE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY JAIL.THE MAYORS OFFICE. I NEED AND WANT TO KEEP A EYE ON THE POLICE AND THE INMATES I WANT TO SEE WHAT CHANGES ACTUALLY NEED MET, NOT WHAT THE POLICE SAY THEY NEED WHEN THEY COME TO. CITY COUNCIL ASKING FOR MONEY.
I WANT TO SEE SOME AUDITING OF THE CHARTER, THE DEPARTMENT. I WANT A TEAM TO DO THE MATH AND RESEARCH SO WE CAN ACCESS THE DAMAGE AND RE DIRECT THE AIM OF THE CITY.
I WANT THE INMATES TO HAVE A PLAN CREATED FOR SUCCESS FOR WHEN THEY EXIT. A PLAN TO BE HOUSED EDUCATED AND EMPLOYED, TREATED FOR ALL NEEDS MENTAL MEDICAL OR SUBSTANCE WISE. I WANT TO TURN CRIME INTO TANGIBLE COMMUNITY PRODUCTIVITY. A LOT OF CRIME HAPPENS BECAUSE PERSONAL NEEDS ARNT BEING MET. SO I WANT TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS IN A TIMELY FASHION AND GIVE THESE INDIVIDUALS A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN COMMITTING CRIMES AND WINDING UP IN JAIL. CHRONIC JAIL IS SOMETHING I WANT TO ADDRESS AS WELL AND IF THAT MEANS REPLACING JUDGES, DA, PUBLIC DEFENDERS WITH A SYSTEM TO ADDRESS PUNISHMENT OF OFFENDERS WHERE EACH CASE WILL BE EVALUATED AND DISCUSSED WITH A PANEL.
A NEW BOARD TO ADDRESS REGROWTH AND INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS. NOT EVERYONE CAN BE MOTIVATED TO CHANGE, THERE ARE OPTIONS AND METHODS TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS FOR A BETTER LIFE. JUST HAVE TO FIGURE EACH SITUATION OUT. FACT IS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS REFORM .THIS WILL LEAD ME TO WORK ON ENDING SYSTEMIC RACISM WHICH IS VERY SERIOUS. DEMOTING, DEFUNDING AND RE ADDRESSING THE POLICE WITH PUNISHMENT IS KEY. YOU WON’T LIKE IT,HOWEVER ITS DEMANDED.
IT STARTS WITH A WEEN OFF AND A NEW SYSTEM WEENED IN, I WON'T REMOVE THE POLICE UNTIL A GOOD ADEQUATE PLAN THAT IS IN PLACE WITH A TRIAL TO SEE HOW IT WORKS. THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL I FAZE OUT THE POLICE.
OFFICERS WITH ABUSE AND FORCE ON Their RECORDS AND SUSPECTED RACIEST POLICE WILL NOT BE POLICE OR EVEN SECURITY HERE IN DENVER NO LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION TO BE A OFFICER FROM THIS CITY, THAT MEANS YOU WON'T BE HIRABLE AS ONE ELSE WHERE. DEPENDING ON YOUR MARKS MIGHT DEPEND ON IF YOU LEAVE WITH A PENSION 401 K. LITTLE BY LITTLE THIS WILL END AND SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE AND FAIR WILL BE IN PLACE.
I WANT TO END THIS RACIST NARRATIVE FOR BLACK PEOPLE.BLACK MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THIS CITY. WITH HOPES THAT THIS HEADS TOWORDS A FEDERAL STATE LEVEL. BLACK PEOPLE WILL RECIEVE THE FOLLOWING FROM MY TERM AS THE MAYOR OF THIS CITY. I WILL ENACT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR GENERATIONS, AS FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS SOMETHING I PROMISE TO START WITH FROM DAY ONE THIS IS NOT SYMBOLIC THIS IS FIRM WITH ME. WHAT EVER I NEED TO LEARN OR DO SO THESE BASIC ASKING POINTS GET DONE, I'M ALL FOR IT.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN PLACE OF THE POLICE. WHAT I WOULD LOOK FOR IN DEFENDERS OF PEACE .
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN PLACE OF THE POLICE. WHAT I WOULD LOOK FOR IN DEFENDERS OF PEACE. THE TYPE OF PEOPLE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO BE TRAINED ARE ONES THAT WILL HAVE NOT ONLY A STRENUOUS TRAINING IN DEFENSE, THE CITY, PEOPLE TRAINING IN BODY LANGUAGE HOW TO READ PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS TO DETERMINE HOW TO ENGAGE. COMMUNICATION COURSES TO DIALOG WITH THE PEOPLE IN ANY COMMUNITY THEY WILL BE PROTECTING AND DEFENDING, KNOWLEDGE OF THE CITY AND WAYS TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE WITH HARD TO ACCESS OR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COGNITIVE AND DIALECTAL BEHAVIOR TRAINING. PTSD THERAPY AND RISK ASSESSMENTS ON TEMPERAMENT AND OBVIOUSLY MOST IMPORTANTLY A ACTUAL DELVE INTO BACKGROUND. AND PEOPLE READINESS COURSES.
LOOK I DO NOT WANT ANYONE WITH DV OR BATTERY, SEXUAL CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN CHILDREN ELDERLY EVEN SOME OF THE COMMUNITY THAT IS DIFFERENT IN THE WAY THEY MAY IDENTIFY. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT SAFE TO PROTECT OR DEFEND THE VULNERABLE OR DEFENSELESS. WE NEED PEOPLE WHO CAN PROTECT DEFEND, ASSIST AND GUIDE AND LEAD. THERE'S ALOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS CITY THAT AT ANY GIVEN POINT CAN NEED ANYTHING FROM PROTECTION TO DEFENSE TO HELP ACROSS THE STREET. HELP TO SCHOOL, EVEN HOME. PEOPLE NEED ASSURANCES OF THIS. I WANT TO DO A TRIAL BASIS BEFORE I WEEN OUT THE BAD, ABUSIVE, RACIST OFFICERS WITH CORRUPTION DEEP ROOTED IN THE SERVICE THEY ONCE PROVIDED.
A DEFENSE THAT IS FOR THE PEOPLE. WHICH WILL ONE DAY ACT INDEPENDENTLY OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE OUR COLONIZATION.
I CAN'T REMOVE THE POLICE OR THE CHARTER OR UNION WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING AGENCY. ONE THAT SHOWS POSITIVE PEOPLE RESULTS. WITH MINIMAL ACTS OF FORCE.
I WON'T PUT THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WITHOUT A SYSTEM AND TEAMS AND TASK FORCES TO MANAGE THIS PROCESS. I PLAN TO START CREATING AND RECRUITING WITHIN THE FIRST 6-8 MONTHS OF MY FIRST YEAR. THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS TO THIS AND I NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT WITH THE PEOPLE'S INPUT. SO PLEASE GET WITH ME, I'M ACCESSIBLE AND OPEN TO BRAINSTORMING AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
I NEED TO SPEAK TO CODIFIED BLACK PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP PUT CERTAIN COURSES AND CRITERIA IN PLACE BEFORE THE PROCESS CAN BE STARTED.
A LOT OF THIS IS MENTAL HEALTH AND USING THE ALREADY PUT IN PLACE SYSTEM OF LOOKING UP RECORDS THAT THE POLICE USE. I WANT TO LOOK INTO ALL FACTORS. I ENCOURAGE THIS DIALOG BEFORE I TAKE MY SEAT AS MAYOR OF DENVER. I WILL ADDRESS THE CHARTER, THE UNION. FRATERNAL ORDER OF THE POLICE .A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE DEMOTED, I'M SURE. I WILL HAVE THEM ALL AUDITED .THESE MEASURES ARE FOR THE PEOPLE. NOT THE ENTITY 'S THAT ROB AND PUNISH THE PEOPLE OF DENVER.
THE CORRUPTION HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AND ELIMINATED. MORE TO COME. THIS IS JUST A START TO MY THOUGHTS.
REPARATIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR FBA IN DENVER, CO.
I INTEND TO CREATE THE FIRST REPARATIONS OFFICE HERE IN DENVER TO ADDRESS CASH, LAND, PAYMENTS AND HOMEOWNERSHIP, DEBT FORGIVENESS. I WANT TO CALL IT “THE REPARATIONS IMMEDIATE ACTION AND RESOLVE TASK FORCE”. TO HANDLE A LINAGE BASED REPARATION ACTION AND PAYMENT STRUCTURE OWED TO FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS AND DECEDENTS OF CHATTEL SLAVERY. IMMEDIATELY FOR DENVERITES SIMILAR TO CALIFORNIA ACCEPT WITH FACES THAT ARE FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN, OR BLACK INDIGENOUS TO THE UNITED STATES DURING THE TIME OF BUILDING THE NATION WE LIVE IN.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF BLACK PEOPLE HERE IN COLORADO THAT ARE ECONOMIST, HISTORIANS WHO CAN COME UP WITH ADEQUATE CASH, LAND, AND ASSET ANSWERS IN A VERY IMMEDIATE TIMEFRAME. WITH HOPES THAT THE SYSTEMS CAN BE PICKED UP AND HANDLED STATE AND NATIONWIDE.
FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS AND DECEDENTS OF CHATTEL SLAVERY OR BLACK INDIGENOUS TO THE STATES IN THE TIME FRAME DESCRIBED BY LEADERS THAT ARE INVESTED IN THIS.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS:
SO MUCH WE CAN DO TO KEEP WHAT WE HAVE AND MAYBE GROW FROM THE CRISIS. I'M GOING TO RELY ON ENVIRONMENTALISTS TO GUIDE ME AND MAKE SOME OF THESE THOUGHTS I HAVE WORK. KEEP IN MIND, FIX ONE PROBLEM AND OTHERS FOLLOW SUIT. REUSING AND CREATING WILL ALSO OFFER WORK FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT. HOUSING FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO CREATE THIS POSSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN FUTURES.
THE UN HOUSED AND THE TRASH IN THE CITY.
WELL LOOK I HAVE MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE UN HOUSED BEING RESOURCEFUL AND RE USING THE FURNITURE YOU THROW OUT, ALL THE CLOTHES AND SHOES YOU THROW OUT. I WANT TO START RECYCLING AND RE DISTRIBUTING AND RE USING THESE BIG ITEMS. THAT CAN GO TO FURNISHING APARTMENTS AND DORMS FOR THE PEOPLE AND YOUTH I PLAN ON HOUSING.
I PLAN TO HIRE SPECIFIC PEOPLE TO SEPARATE THE GLASS, WOOD, AND PLASTIC FROM TRASH. BIO WASTE, I HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT SITUATION TOO. I PLAN ON PARTNERING WITH SCRAPYARD'S RECYCLING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT SOME OF THESE PLASTICS AND OTHER ITEMS CAN BE USED TO CREATE GREEN HOUSES AND URBAN COMPOSTS, INSULATION, FUEL OPTIONS, PELLET HOUSES, SOLAR AND EVEN CREATE DIFFERENT FORMS OR WAYS TO GENERATE ENERGY TO LIGHT OR WARM SMALL SPACES.
I INTEND TO PARTNER WITH BIG PLACES LIKE HOME DEPOT, HARBOR FREIGHT, WALMART, KING SOOPERS, AMAZON, BIG 5, BARN AND SHED BUILDERS, TO CREATE TEMPORARY 1 YEAR HOUSING OPTIONS ALL OVER IN DIFFERENT DISCRETE SAFE PARTS OF THE CITY.
I INTEND TO CREATE SEVERAL COMMUNITY KITCHENS TO CREATE REAL MEALS FOR THE UN HOUSED, ELDER AND YOUTH, DISABLED, ECT, ECT. I WANT TO PARTNER WITH METRO CARING ON THIS TOO AND OTHER OPTIONS LIKE THAT. THAT CAN ALSO DROP GOOD MEALS TO THE PROGRAMS THAT DO THE WORK FOR THE PEOPLE. 7 DAYS A WEEK, EVEN FEED THE KIDS BEFORE SCHOOL AND AFTER, PROVIDING MEALS TO REC CENTERS AND LIBRARIES AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS ALL OVER DENVER FROM THE CITY TO THE RURAL OUTSKIRTS.
I INTEND TO OFFER GOOD WAGES AND BENEFITS TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THESE PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY KITCHENS, DRIVERS AND PEOPLE WHO DISPERSE TO THE UN HOUSED, ELDERLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN, ECT. VERY IMPORTANT.
RESTROOMS FOR THE UN HOUSED AND BATHROOM OPTIONS AT RTD BUS DEPOTS AND TRAIN STOPS MUST BE PUT IN WITH TRASH AND 3 PRONG PLUG INS FOR POWER CHAIRS AND EMERGENCY CHARGING PORTS FOR PHONES. THIS IS FOR ON THE GO UN HOUSED AND MOBILE POWER CHAIR USERS WHO NEED TO PLUG IN WHEN IT'S A EMERGENCY. IT HELPS STRANDED AND THE UN HOUSED GET WHAT THEY NEED AND PROCEED TO THE NEXT THING. ANYONE CAN FIND THEMSELF'S NEEDING TO USE A PLUG AT ANY MOMENT. IT KEEPS PEOPLE OUT OF BUSINESS'S AND IN MOTION.
A FUNCTIONING HOUSING SYSTEM AND RE ALLOCATE FUNDS, CONTRACTS, AND START UTILIZING WHAT LIES UN USED OR EMPTY.
12 MOBILE SHOWERS AND RESTROOMS SHOULD BE PLACED A BLOCK AWAY FROM ANY ENCAMPMENT PER 7 -14 TENTS. PORTER POTTY'S NEAR SERVICE PROVIDERS LOCATIONS, WITHIN A BLOCK OR AT A PARK 2–3 PORTER POTTY'S AND HANDWASHING SINKS LIKE THE ONE IN 5 POINTS.
THE CITY CAN SERVICE THEM TWICE A WEEK AND 2WICE DAILY. A UN HOUSED OR PERSON ON COMMUNITY SERVICE CAN TEND TO THEM WITH A CASH INCENTIVE OR GIFT CARD OPTION AFTER THE JOB HAS BEEN DONE WHICH MEANS LIGHT MOPPING FLOOR, WALL WIPE DOWN DOOR AND HANDLE AND TP REFILL SOAP AND PAPER TOWEL REFILL ON SINKS AND TRASH DISPOSAL AT DUMPSTER THAT GOES WITH THESE PORTABLE RESTROOMS.
THE CITY HAS A DUTY TO PROVIDE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEEDS OF SUCH SERIOUS CONCERN. THIS ALLEVIATES FROM WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT. BODILY WASTE AND THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE A CLEANER CITY CAN FIND SOME OTHER THING TO BE UPSET ABOUT AS I, WE FIX THESE FIXABLE ISSUES.
MOBILE LAUNDRY, MORE OF THESE TO HANDLE THE URBAN UN HOUSED NEEDS.. PLACED IN EASY TO GET TO AREAS AND NEAR MOBILE RESTROOMS. THE CITY CAN RE DIRECT SOME FUNDS TO MANAGE THIS. ITS IN THE BUDGET. THE CITY CONTINUES MIS APPROPRIATING FUNDS WITHOUT HANDLING THE NEEDS. I INTEND ON PUSHING THIS TILL A WORKING SYSTEM IS IN PLACE. SO MAYBE 6-8 MONTHS . I ANTICIPATE PUSH BACK. NO MATTER WHAT, THE DEMANDS OF THE CITY ARE REAL AND IN EVERYONE'S FACE. HELP ME, HELP ALL.
THE UN HOUSED LIKE I SAID EARLIER. FIX ONE THING, OTHERS SLIDE RIGHT INTO PLACE. I AM GOING TO CREATE A SMALL TEAM TO DO THE RESEARCH TO SEE WHAT THE CITY OWNS AND WHAT THE BANKS OWN, WHAT'S LAYING EMPTY. WHAT IS PRICED Too HIGH, WHAT CAN BE CONVERTED AND WHAT CAN BE TEMPORARY. WHAT WE CAN REALLOCATE AND REINVEST IN AND WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL WITH THE ESTHETIC'S THAT COLORADO WILL DEMAND. AS WELL AS MAKE SENSE FOR TAXPAYERS, VOTERS AND COMMUNITY.
EACH COMMUNITY WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. SO IT WILL BE WHAT IS BEST AND QUICK, WELL THOUGHT OUT WITH LASTING SUSTAINABILITY WITH COMMUNITY EFFORT TO KEEP THINGS MOVING SAFELY. FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE. I HAVE LOTS OF IDEAS THAT WOULD BETTER SERVE THE CITY THAN ALL THIS DEVELOPMENT.
I WILL REPEAL THE CAMPING BAN ONCE THINGS ARE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AND WE HAVE REAL PLAN. NO WAIT LISTS. WRAP AROUND SERVICES WITH EVERY NEED, ADDRESSED WITH LONG TERM CARE AND FOLLOW UPS FROM TEMP TO TRANSITIONAL TO PERMANENT, TO BE EARNED AND WORKED FOR.
FROM JAIL AND STREET NON PRODUCTIVITY. EVERYONE CAN HAVE A PLACE AND WORK OR WAGE OR EDUCATION WITH A SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE AND CITY MINDSET. THERE'S TOO MUCH EMPTY TIME. WASTED LIFE ,DREAMS, OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE TO LET YOUR NEEDS GO WITHOUT BEING TENDED TO. I WANT TO SEE PRIDE EMPOWERMENT FOR THIS ONCE BEAUTIFUL PLACE. FOR MY OWN LIFE AND GENERATIONS TO FOLLOW.
