From: florgazi Sent: Monday, September 30, 2024 9:02 AM To: Elmer, Linda Subject: e-Comment - Steering and Rules Committee 09/30 Hello, My name is Diego Garcia and I'm a member of the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression. I would like to leave an e-comment for item #2 on the agenda today (Communication from the Milwaukee Police Department and the Fire and Police Commission relating to the officer-involved shooting on July 16, 2024, as well as the deployment of non-City officers during the Republican National Convention.) It is absolutely ridiculous that the City and the Police Department let law enforcement officers, specifically the Columbus PD, patrol the streets outside of the designated soft-zone for the RNC after we were promised by MPD that this wouldn't happen on MULTIPLE occasions during the community meetings leading up to the RNC. Now, a life was stolen, not "saved" as the Mayor and the Chief of Police say. It's clear as day if you have watched the body camera footage that Columbus PD murdered Sam Sharpe Jr. If you haven't seen the footage, I implore you all to watch it. MAARPR has reposted it on their social media and will put it here. (Footage here) The RNC was an absolute failure and something like this should never happen again in Milwaukee. It's been several months now and the community nor the family of Sam Sharpe Jr. have heard anything from Greenfield PD/MAIT. We are working with the family of Sam Sharpe Jr. and we demand the following from the CC: * The Common Council demand that MAIT provides a progress report on the investigation into Sam Sharpe Jr.'s murder * The Common Council demands that the Ohio officers (Columbus PD) who murdered Sam Sharpe Jr. be charged Thank you for your time and we look forward to next steps on this.
