DESCRIPTION:We were asked  by the Federal Monitor team to convene a community event in 
 which folks who had had encounters with OPD in the last two or three years 
 would give testimony about their experiences. The Monitor are interested in 
 hearing directly from those who had negative experiences. They want to know 
 what happened — when, where – and whether or not a complaint was filed, 
 and, if so, what was the outcome, so they can do follow up.\n\nWe promised 
 to convene such a meeting. This is an opportunity we should not miss to 
 counter the Schaaf cheerleading about how much progress OPD has made, 
 despite the fact that there were 7 killings of African-American males in 
 the last year! The City is anxious to get out from under Federal oversight 
 and the Monitor wants an ‘on the ground’ assessment of whether OPD 
 behaves differently than they did in the ‘Riders’ era, or whether 
 things are basically still the same.\n\nPlease share this widely — 
 especially with those who are likely to have been impacted directly, or 
 even indirectly, as observers, and we hope youth will be encouraged to 
 attend, along with their parents.\n\nNo City officials (including police) 
 have been invited to attend — only the Federal Monitor team.\n\nThere 
 will be no panel discussion — the whole evening will be devoted to 
 hearing testimony from the community!!!\n
