HOUSE RESOLUTION SEVENTY FOUR
BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER KITA WEBER
RELATIVE TO HEALTH
MISINFORMATION THOUGHT TO
RECORD WE ARE RECOGNIZED HERE
OPEN. THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER.
H. I. SEVENTY FOUR SPEAKS TO
THE IMPORTANCE OF CURBING
PUBLIC HEALTH MISINFORMATION
AND THE THREAT THAT IT POSES TO
OUR SOCIETY. WELL HEALTH
MISINFORMATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A PROBLEM ADVANCES IN DIGITAL
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY NOW
ALLOW IT TO SPREAD AT
UNPRECEDENTED SPEED. SO MUCH SO
THAT IN THE MIDST OF A GLOBAL
PANDEMIC MISINFORMATION HAS
CAUSED RAMPANT CONFUSION AND
MISTRUST THAT UNDERMINE PUBLIC
HEALTH EFFORTS. MISINFORMATION
HAS CAUSED CONFUSION AND
NATIONALLY HAS LED TO MANY
ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS DECLINING
COBIT NINETEEN VACCINES
REJECTING PUBLIC HEALTH
MEASURES RELATING TO MASKING OR
PHYSICAL DISTANCING. AND USING
UNPROVEN TREATMENTS. WITH OVER
FOUR MILLION CONFIRMED CASES
AND OVER SIXTY SIX THOUSAND
CONFIRMED DEATH IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THIS THREAT HAS
PROLONGED THE COVERT NINETEEN
PANDEMIC ENDANGERING THE SAFETY
AND LIFE AND HEALTH OF ALL
CALIFORNIANS. IT HAS BECOME SO
PREVALENT IN TODAY'S SOCIETY.
THAT THE UNITED STATES SURGEON
GENERAL HAS ISSUED OFFICIAL
GUIDANCE IN THE MATTER. I
APPLAUD THE RECENT EFFORTS OF
THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS LED BY SUPERVISOR
NATHAN FLETCHER WHO INTRODUCED
A SIMILAR RESOLUTION IN MY
COUNTY. THE ONLY WAY TO ADDRESS
HEALTH MISINFORMATION IS TO
RECOGNIZE THAT ALL OF US IN
EVERY SECTOR OF SOCIETY HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO ACT. EACH OF
US CAN DO OUR OWN PART TO
CONFRONT MISINFORMATION. BETTER
COORDINATION BETWEEN THE
MEDICAL COMMUNITY GOVERNMENT
ENTITIES AND THE MASS MEDIA ARE
NEEDED TO CURB THE SPREAD OF
MISINFORMATION THROUGH
DIFFERENT CHANNELS AND LIMIT
THE DISSEMINATION OF FAKE NEWS.
WE SHOULD ALL WANT TO WORK
TOWARDS CREATING A HEALTHIER
INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT. ONE
THAT EMPOWERS US TO A WELL
INFORMED KINDER AND MORE
CONNECTED WORLD. BUT WE MUST
USE THAT POWER TOGETHER. H. R.
SEVENTY FOUR IS A SMALL BUT
IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS A
RECOGNITION THAT THE SPREAD OF
HEALTH MIS INFORMATION IS A
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS. AND URGES
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
COMMIT TO COMBATING THE SPREAD
OF FALSEHOODS THAT THREATEN THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ALL
CALIFORNIANS. I LIKE THE FIRST
ROLE TO BE OPEN FOR CO AUTHORS.
THANK YOU MEMBERS AND I

SENATE BILL TWO BY SOONER
BRADFORD AND OTHERS IMMACULATE
IN THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT DR
WEBER YOU MAY OPEN. THANK YOU
MISTER SPEAKER. I RISE TO
PRESENT SB TWO THE KENNETH ROSS
JUNIOR POLICE DECERTIFICATION
ACT OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR BRADFORD I'M
PRO TEM. ACAN THIS BILL WAS
NAMED AFTER KENNETH ROSS JUNIOR
A CONSTITUENT OF SENATOR
BRADFORD WHO WAS SHOT AND
KILLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AT
RALLY PARK IN GARDENA IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN. HE WAS TWENTY FIVE
YEARS OLD HE WAS UNARMED. HE
WAS EXPERIENCING A MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS. AND HE WAS SHOT
IN THE BACK AND KILLED IN BROAD
DAYLIGHT. KENNETH ROTH WAS SHOT
AND KILLED. BY AN OFFICER WHO
HAD BEEN ENGAGED IN MULTIPLE
SHOOTINGS IN A DIFFERENT
DEPARTMENT. HE MIGHT NOT HAVE
BEEN AN OFFICER IF WE HAD A
DECERTIFICATION SYSTEM IN PLACE
THAT HOLD OFFICERS ACCOUNTABLE
TO APPROPRIATE STATEWIDE
STANDARDS. UNFORTUNATELY
KENNETH'S DEATH IS NOT UNIQUE.
IT IS REFLECTIVE OF A PROBLEM
THAT PERVADES OUR STATE AND
COUNTRY AS A WHOLE. THERE ARE
PROBLEMATIC OFFICERS THAT
COMMIT MISCONDUCT IN ONE
DEPARTMENT. AND ARE EITHER NOT
HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND CONTINUE
TO BE A PROBLEM FOR THAT
DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY WHERE
THEY ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BUT
ARE ABLE TO FIND EMPLOYMENT IN
ANOTHER DEPARTMENT AND OUR
STATE. HERE IN CALIFORNIA WE
ARE ONLY ONE OF FOUR STATES.
THAT DOES NOT HAVE A
DECERTIFICATION SYSTEM.
CALIFORNIANS CRIMINAL JUSTICE
JUSTICE ADVOCATE AND POLICE
THEMSELVES ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
THE CERTIFICATION SYSTEM IS
DESPERATELY NEEDED. SB TWO IS A
THOUGHTFUL WELL MEANING
APPROACH TO THIS ISSUE THAT
AFFORDS AMPLE DUE PROCESS FOR
OFFICERS. FIVE NECESSARY
COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION AND
ENSURES THAT GOOD OFFICERS ARE
NOT DECERTIFIED. THIS BILL
CREATES A STATE WIDE PROCESS TO
REVOKE THE CERTIFICATION OF AN
OFFICER AFTER COMMITTING A
SERIOUS A SERIES OF CRIMES OR
TERMINATION FROM EMPLOYMENT DUE
TO MISCONDUCT. ADDITIONALLY
THIS BILL ALLOWS. THE
COMMISSION ON PEACE OFFICER
STANDARDS AND TRAINING. ALSO
KNOWN AS POST. A COMMISSION
THAT IS PRIMARILY MADE UP OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO
INVESTIGATE GROUNDS FOR OFFICER
MISCONDUCT. SB TWO ALSO CREATES
AN ADVISORY BOARD WITH IN POST
THAT WOULD MAKE INITIAL
RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHETHER POST
SHOULD DECERTIFY AN OFFICER.
FINALLY THIS BILL ALLOWS THE
COMMISSION TO DEFINE. BY
REGULATION THE SPECIFIC GROUNDS
OF SERIOUS MISCONDUCT THAT
WOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR
DECERTIFICATION. ULTIMATELY THE
COMMISSION HAS THE AUTHORITY TO
DEFINE WHAT EXACTLY IS KIND IT
CAN LEAD TO DESERTIFICATION.
THIS IS NOT A PERFECT BILL. BUT
THE AUTHOR HAS TAKEN A NUMBER
OF AMENDMENTS IN RESPONSE TO
MANY OF THE CONCERNS RAISED BY
THE OPPONENTS. PREVIOUSLY THE
ADVISORY BOARD INCLUDED TWO
PUBLIC MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN
VICTIMS OF POLICE MISCONDUCT OR
WHO ARE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE
SUFFERED PLEASE MAKE CONTACT.
NOW THOSE TWO SEATS ARE
GENERALLY FOR NOT ENFORCEMENT
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WITH
STRONG CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO
WHETHER THEY'VE BEEN IMPACTED
BY POLICE VIOLENCE. PREVIOUSLY
POST COMMISSION IT'D MAJORITY
VOTE TO APPROVE DECERTIFICATION.
NOW POST COMMISSION NEEDS A TWO
THIRDS VOTE IN ORDER TO
DECERTIFY SOMEONE AND WE ALL
KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO GET
A TWO THIRDS VOTE IN THIS HOUSE.
PREVIOUSLY THE BILL WAS SILENT
ON PRIOR CLAIMS OF ADJUDICATION.
NOW THE BILL EXPLICITLY STATES
THAT NOTHING IN THE BILL
CHANGES EXISTING LAW ABOUT
COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL. PREVIOUSLY
POSED MUSTY CERTIFYING OFFICER
WHO HAD COMMITTED SERIOUS
MISCONDUCT. NOW POST HAS THE
OPTION OF DECERTIFYING THE
SPENDING CERTIFICATION OR
IMPOSING NO SANCTIONS AT ALL
FOR OFFICERS WHO COMMITTED
SERIOUS MISCONDUCT. POST HAS
THE OPTION TO SUSPEND AN
OFFICER OR IMPOSE NO SANCTION
AT ALL EVEN IF THE ADVISORY
BOARD RECOMMENDS
DECERTIFICATION. I WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY
A TECHNICAL ERROR BY
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL REGARDING
ONE OF THE AMENDMENT IN THIS
BILL. THE AMENDMENT CLARIFYING
THAT EXISTING LAW OF COLLATERAL
ESTOPPEL APPLIES. TO THIS BILL
WAS PLACED IN THE WRONG SECTION
BUT IT WILL BE CORRECTED IN A
DIFFERENT BILL IN THE COMING
DAYS. SO IN CONCLUSION SB TWO
CREATES ONE OF THE STRONGEST
DECERTIFICATION SYSTEMS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. WITH MORE DUE
PROCESS. FOR OFFICERS AND
CIVILIAN REPRESENTATION AND PUT.
AT EVERY STAGE IN THIS PROCESS.
THERE IS LAW ENFORCEMENT
REPRESENTATION. IN FACT THE
PREDOMINANT SOURCE OF INPUT FOR
THE ENTIRE PROCESS IS LAW
ENFORCEMENT INCLUDING POST
COMMISSION. THE ROLE OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT IS NOT TO SERVE NOT
ONLY TO SERVE BUT PROTECT.
PROTECT THE CITIZENS PROTECT
THE INTEGRITY OF THE BATCH AND
PROTECT LOCAL GOVERNMENT. THIS
IS NOT AN ANTI POLICE BILL.
THIS IS AN ACCOUNTABILITY BAIL.
WITHOUT ANY ACCOUNTABILITY WE
LOSE INTEGRITY OF THE BAD AND
THE BOND WITH THE COMMUNITY IS
BROKEN. A BROKEN BOND AND
DISCUSSED CAN LEAD TO THE
EVENTS THAT WE HAVE SEEN ALL
OVER THIS COUNTRY AND EVEN IN
OUR STATE. WHETHER IT WAS
BERGESEN HERE IN SACRAMENTO LOS
ANGELES OR EVEN IN MY CITY OF
LA MESA. TYPICALLY WE SAY IF
CALIFORNIA GOES SO DOES THE
REST OF THE NATION. YEAH WE ARE
SO FAR BEHIND IN THIS ISSUE OF
DECERTIFICATION THAT WE NEED TO
CATCH UP TO THE FORTY SIX OTHER
STATES THAT HAVE PROCESSES IN
ALREADY TODAY. THE LET'S
RESTORE THE CONFIDENCE SOME OF
OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE LOST AND
WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF
THE MOST RESPECTED PROFESSIONS
IN THE COUNTRY. LET'S GUARANTEE
THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL GIVEN A
BADGE A GUN. AND THE INCREDIBLE
POWER IS PROPERLY HELD
ACCOUNTABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE
ARE WEEDING OUT THOSE UNFIT FOR
THIS JOB. THE TIME IS NOW TO
CREATE POLICE THE CERTIFICATION
SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA IT MUST BE
STRONG AND TRUSTED BY OUR
COMMUNITIES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR IPHONE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU DR WEBER ASSEMBLY
MEMBER KALRA YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU. MISTER SPEAKER SB
TWO IS CRITICAL TO ENSURING
THAT WE PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES
FROM OFFICERS WHO COMMIT AGREES
MISCONDUCT AND CREATE GREATER
TRUST OF LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR
THOSE WHO ABIDE BY THEIR OATH
OF SERVICE. LAW ENFORCEMENT
ARGUES THAT OF THEIR AGENCY
DIDN'T FIRE THEM FOR SERIOUS
MISCONDUCT IMPOSED SHOULD NOT
BE ABLE TO TAKE ANY ACTION.
THEY SAY THIS EXPOSES THEM TO
DOUBLE JEOPARDY. HOWEVER THIS
IS NOT WHAT DOUBLE JEOPARDY IS
A AS A FORMER PUBLIC DEFENDER I
CAN ASSURE YOU. DOUBLE JEOPARDY
MEANS BEING PROSECUTED TWICE
FOR THE SAME PROSECUTOR FOR THE
EXACT SAME CRIME ONCE A
PROSPEROUS PROSECUTED ONCE THE
RESULTS ARE BINDING THEY CANNOT
TRY AGAIN IN HOPES OF A
DIFFERENT RESULT. THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT. POST
BRINGING DECERTIFICATION
PROCEEDINGS IS NOT THE SAME AS
EMPLOYING LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES BRINGING DISCIPLINE.
AS AN ATTORNEY. I CAN BE
INVESTIGATED M. DISBARRED BY
THE STATE BAR EVEN IF MY
EMPLOYER DOES NOT FIRE ME THIS
APPLIES NOT ONLY TO ATTORNEY
TURNS WORKING PRIVATE FIRMS BUT
FOR THOSE WHO WORK FOR
GOVERNMENT OR STATE AGENCIES.
SAME GOES FOR OTHER LICENSED
PROFESSIONS THINK ABOUT A
DOCTOR'S CAN LOSE THEIR
LICENSES EVEN IF THEY'RE STILL
EMPLOYED. THE CALIBER CALIBER
WOULD BE THE KIND OF
ACCOUNTABILITY. THIS KIND OF
ACCOUNTABILITY IS HOW WE ENSURE
THAT PEOPLE WHO VIOLATE
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS STOP
HARMING THE PUBLIC EVEN IF
THEIR EMPLOYER HAS DECIDED TO
OVERLOOK THEIR BEHAVIOR
ESPECIALLY. IF THEIR JOB IS TO
PROTECT AND SERVE THE PUBLIC.
NEVERTHELESS THE AUTHOR AS
INDICATED BY MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SAN DIEGO HAS TAKEN AMENDMENTS
TO FURTHER CLARIFY THIS ISSUE.
ONE OFFICER COMMITS EXCESSIVE
USE OF FORCE SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
FABRICATING EVIDENCE IT SHOULD
WARRANT A FAIR AND TRANSPARENT
PROCESS BY POSTERS CHARMAN IF
THAT OFFICER IS WORTHY OF
HOLDING THAT BATCH. THE PUBLIC
IS LOSING TRUST IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT SB TWO IS A MEANS
TO NOT ONLY HOLD. OFFICERS
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS
BUT ALSO NECESSARY IF YOU WANT
TO INSTILL PUBLIC TRUST IN A
LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE CAN TAKE A
CRUCIAL STEP TO BRINGING
CALIFORNIA'S POLICING LAWS IN
LINE WITH THE LONG STANDING.
NATIONAL STANDARD RESPECTFULLY
ASK RELIABLE ON SB TWO. THANK
YOU MISTER KALRA ASSEMBLY

MANY MORE AS MENTIONED BY MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO THE
WINDS OF CHANGE BLOW FROM THE
WEST. TO THE EAST. YEAH WE ARE
ONE OF ONLY FOUR STATES. THAT
DOES NOT HAVE A DECERTIFICATION
PROCESS FOR MISCONDUCT. MY
HEART WAS BROKEN LAST YEAR THAT
THIS BILL COULDN'T MOVE TO THIS
BODY IN THE SAME YEAR THAT
MILLIONS MORE PEOPLE PROTESTED
IN ANY POINT IN AMERICAN
HISTORY AND WE COULDN'T MOVE
THIS BILL. THE STAIN ON HIS
BODY IT'S A STAIN THAT WE CAN
LIVE TODAY. WE ALL RAN TO DO
THE BEST THING THAT WE CAN FOR
COMMUNITIES FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO LEAD A MODEL FOR
THIS NATION. WE'RE BEHIND WE

THIS BILL TO THE GOVERNOR I

BY THE SAME POLICE OFFICER A
YEAR BEFORE AND I WANTED TO SET
UP AN ECHO WHAT OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM SAN DIEGO HAS SAID. THIS
HAS TOUCHED EACH AND EVERYONE
OF US NO MATTER WHAT YOUR
DISTRICT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE
SEEN OFFICERS WHO DON'T DESERVE
TO WEAR THE BADGE CONTINUE ON
THE BEAT. AND THERE ARE
INCIDENTS WHERE THEN WE SEE
LIFE TAKEN AGAIN. AND IF WE CAN
SAVE THOSE LIVES MEMBERS WE
MUST. THAT IS THE OBLIGATION
THAT WE HAVE ONE OF MANY. AND
SO TODAY I ASK EACH AND
EVERYONE OF YOU TO DO THIS WE
WORKED HARD ON THIS BILL. AND
WE MADE SURE THAT DUE PROCESS
IS INTACT. BUT WE ALSO NEED TO
MAKE SURE. THAT THOSE THAT
CARRY THE BAGGAGE DO IT WITH
HONOR IN THAT WE HAVE TRUST
ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THOSE. THAT HAVE ALREADY
KILLED. THEY WILL BE CHARGED
WITH A CRIME FOR THAT KILLING
ARE NO LONGER ON THE STREETS
WEARING THE BADGING CARRYING
THAT GUN. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
THEY MAY KILL AGAIN. AND SO
WITH THAT ASK YOUR AYE VOTE AND
I ASK THE TODAY. WE MAKE SURE
THAT WE ARE NOT ONE OF JUST
FOUR STATES THAT HAVE TAKEN THE
STEP THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR
OUR CANS. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
SARATOGA RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
MISTER SPEAKER. SADLY I HAVE TO
RISE IN OPPOSITION OF THIS
PARTICULAR VERSION OF SB TWO.
WHILE THERE IS BIPARTISAN
AGREEMENT AN AGREEMENT AMONG
SOCIAL JUSTICE GROUPS LAW
ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYERS AND EVEN
THE REPRESENTATIVES LAW
ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEES. THAT
CALIFORNIA SHOULD JOIN THE
OTHER FORTY SIX STATES. AND BY
HAVING A STATUTORY MECHANISM TO
SUSPEND OR DECERTIFY LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FOR
MISCONDUCT. BY THAT FALL SHORT
A FELONY CONVICTION. I WOULD
SUPPORT A BILL TO DO THAT AS
LONG AS IT CONTAINED REASONABLE
STANDARDS AND FAIR PROCEDURES
UNFORTUNATELY. ALTHOUGH RECENT
AMENDMENTS HAVE IMPROVED THIS
BILL SOMEWHAT SB TWO IS NOT THE
BILL. I HAVE THREE MAJOR
CONCERNS WITH THIS BILL. FIRST
IS THE COMPOSITION OF THE NINE
MEMBER PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS
ACCOUNTABILITY ADVISORY BOARD.
IT IS GROSSLY UNFAIR. IT
INCLUDES ONLY TWO
REPRESENTATIVES OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT NEITHER OF THEM
REPRESENTING RANK AND FILE
OFFICERS. SIX OR SEVEN OF THE
OTHERS CAN BE. ARE VERY HOSTILE
TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THIS
CREATES A BIAS. THE REASON
AMENDMENT PROVIDING THAT THE
GOVERNOR IS ONLY REQUIRED TO
GIVE STRONG CONSIDERATION TO
APPOINTING TO MEMBERS WHO HAVE
BEEN SUBJECT TO RUN FULL USE OF
FORCE LIKELY THE CAUSE DEATH OR
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY BY POLICE
OFFICER OR WHO ARE SURVIVING
FAMILY MEMBERS OF A PERSON
KILLED. BY THE WRONGFUL USE OF
DEADLY FORCE BY POLICE OFFICERS
IS SMALL COMFORT. THE TRUTH IS
OF THE BOARDS THAT WE HAVE
TALKED ABOUT DOCTORS AND
LAWYERS. THEIR BOARDS DON'T
HAVE PEOPLE. THAT WE'RE BEEN
ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY A BAD
SURGERY. OR BAD REPRESENTATION
THEY HAVE LAWYERS THEY HAVE
PROFESSIONALS THAT KNOW WHAT
THAT JOB IS. AND THIS DOES NOT
DO THAT. NONE OF THE OTHER
FORTY SIX STATES HAVE A SIMILAR
COMPOSITION FOR THEIR OVERSIGHT
BOARDS AND MAKE THIS
DECERTIFICATION DETERMINATION.
SOME STATES HAVE BOARDS THAT DO
NOT HAVE A MAJORITY OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS BUT NONE
OF THEM. ARE THIS LOPSIDED. FOR
EXAMPLE MASSACHUSETTS WHICH IS
HARDLY A BASTION OF
CONSERVATIVE IT'S OF THE STATE.
BUT- IT ADOPTED IN YOUR SEARCH
DECERTIFICATION LAW LAST YEAR.
THERE BOARD INCLUDE THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL A RANK AND
FILE OFFICER TO OTHER LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THE SOCIAL
WORKER A RETIRED JUDGE AN
ATTORNEY APPOINTED BY THE CIVIL
RIGHTS SECTION OF MASSACHUSETTS
BAR AND THREE PUBLIC MEMBERS
APPOINTED JOINTLY. BY THE
GOVERNOR THIS IS A MUCH FAIRER
COMPOSITION THAN THE ONE
PROPOSED IN SB TWO. THE OTHER
ISSUE I HAD WITH IT IS THE BIG.
DESCRIPTION OF MANY OF THE NON
FELONY- TYPE OF OFFENSES THAT
AN OFFICER CAN BE ACCUSED OF-
ANYONE OF US IN OUR WERE IN
THIS ROOM. HAS HAS HAD
STATEMENT THAT THEY'VE MADE
THAT OTHER PEOPLE MISCONSTRUE
IN TURN INTO SOMETHING THAT
ISN'T. IF YOU THOSE TO. S. TWO.
IS A COME SO BILL BUT IN A
CURRENT. FORM IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO IT. SO SHOULD THE OTHER
FORTY SIX STATES AND HAVING A
DECERTIFICATION BILL BUT WE
SHOULD ALSO USE THOSE BILLS
THAT ARE IN THE OTHER FORTY SIX
STATES. COMPOSE THIS ONE SO
THAT IT IS FAIR THAT IT IS NOT
BIASED. AND I THINK ANYBODY WHO
IS WHAT WE HAVE SEVERAL OF OUR
PUBLIC DEFENDERS IN HERE YOU
WOULD NEVER PUT A BIASED PERSON
ON A JURY. AND THIS IS THE SAME
THING. SO MAKE THAT THING LESS
BIASED AND WE'VE GOT US A BILL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU MISTER
SADDAM. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
RODRIGUEZ YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU A SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS- THIS IS A VERY
DIFFICULT BILL FOR ME AND I SEE
THAT WHITES NEEDED. ALL THE
STORIES WE SEE OUT THERE NOT
ONLY IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT
THROUGHOUT OUR NATION OF WHAT'S
HAPPENED. IN REGARDS TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN THE USE OF FORCE
I KNOW WE HAD A BILL A FEW
YEARS AGO REGARDING USE OF
FORCE NOT BILLS ALSO DIFFICULT
FOR ME AS WELL. R. AS REMOVING
THE PROCESS ALONG WITH THE
CERTIFICATION WHAT'S IN FRONT
OF US TODAY IS CHALLENGING FOR
ME I KNOW I WANT TO THANK OFFER
FOR. HIS WORK IT AND GETTING IT
TO A BETTER PLACE BUT STILL I
THINK THERE'S MORE. OF WORK
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OF THE
BILL I THINK THAT ONE OF MY
COLLEAGUE SPOKE TO THE MAKEUP
OF THE BOARD. OF ONE OF THE
CONCERNS I'M HAVING TO IS YOUR
GOING BACK THIRTY YEARS AND
THEN OFFICERS CAREER SOUNDS
LIKE. AND THAT'S KIND OF
DISTURBING TO ME AS WE LOOK AT.
OTHER BILLS WE TALK ABOUT.
TODAY AND WE'RE LOOKING AT
EXPUNGING PEOPLE'S RECORDS OF
WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST
BUT HERE WOULD LAW ENFORCEMENT
WE STILL HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN
WHAT THEY DID THIRTY YEARS AGO-
YES WE GOTTA GET THESE ABOUT
OFFICERS OFF THE STREETS OUT OF
OUR COMMUNITIES. AND YOU KNOW
IT'S TOUGH WHEN I THINK WE NEED
MORE. OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TO
TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES CONCERNED
TO GET MAKE SURE THE BILLS AT A
BETTER PLACE WE'RE HEARING ALL
THE STORIES ABOUT THE BALLOT
OFFICERS. WELL THE STAFF AT
THIS DIFFICULT FOR ME BECAUSE I
THINK SOME OF YOU KNOW THAT I'M
A PARENT OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER MY SON IS L. A. COUNTY
DEPUTY SHERIFFS. AND IT'S TOUGH
FOR HIM YOU KNOW HE'S BEEN ON
THE DEPARTMENT ALMOST EIGHT OR
NINE YEARS. AND HE'S NOT A
MURDER HE'S NOT A RACIST. HE'S
A GOOD PERSON THIS UP TO DO THE
JOB PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES
OVER RUNNING AWAY FROM THE
ANGER THE EVIL IN THIS WORLD
HE'S RUNNING TOWARDS IT TO
PROTECT US AND GUIDE US. AND I
SEE IT IN HIS EYES NOW FROM
TIME TO TIME ASSUME. IT ONE OF
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FOR ME
IS. WHEN I'M WITH THEM OVER THE
WEEKENDS A TIME BEFORE I COME
BACK UP HERE TO SACRAMENTO. I
HOPE THAT ISN'T THE LAST TIME I
SEE MY SON. AND YOU KNOW WHY
BECAUSE WE DO SOME LEGISLATION.
TO FIX THINGS I THINK WE MIGHT
GET WORSE FOR OFFICERS BECAUSE
NOW. THEY HAD DURING THE
TRANSFER GOING TO SECOND GUESS
THEMSELVES. SHOULD I STOP THAT
PERSON SHOULD I NOT ARREST THIS
PERSON BECAUSE IF I DO I'M
GOING TO BE CONSIDERED A
RACIST. BUT TAKE OUT MY GOD WHY
DON'T TO COME AGAIN BECAUSE ALL
THIS GUY'S GOING TO KILL ME
BECAUSE I'M BLACK OR BROWN. NOW
MY SON'S LIKE. BECAUSE OF THAT
I JUST HOPE THAT HE DOESN'T DIE
IN THE LINE OF DUTY AS HE MAY
HAVE SECOND GUESSED HIMSELF.
BECAUSE HE DON'T WANT TO BE
LABELED THAT MURDER OR THAT
RACES. BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE
LEGISLATION THAT THAT'S PUT ON
THEM. THE FEELS LIKE MAYBE WE
ARE ANTI POLICE EVEN THOUGH
WE'RE NOT. BUT THE IN
IMPRESSION OUT THERE ON THE
STREET FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT IS
THAT MAYBE WE ARE. ARE HERE TO
MY SON I SEE IT IN HIS EYES AT
TIMES I'VE BEEN WITH THEM.
BEFORE HE GOES TO WORK THEN I
CAN KIND OF SEE THAT WARRANTS
CONCERN ABOUT AS YOU LEAVES
BECAUSE- I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S
GOING TO COME HOME. HE PUTS THE
BALLOT JOHN HE PUTS THE BEST ON
PROTECT HIMSELF IN THE
COMMUNITY. BUT IT'S REALLY
CHALLENGING THIS DIFFICULT SO I
WAS REMOVED ALONG WITH THESE
BILLS AND OTHERS I JUST HOPE
THAT WE LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE
BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT. IT
REALLY WHAT'S BEST FOR
EVERYBODY NOT JUST ONE SIDED.
SO AT THAT ARE SELF CONCERNS
AND ISSUES AND ALL I CAN HOPE
AND SAY IS THAT WE REALLY LOOK
AT THE BIG PICTURE AS WE DO
LEGISLATION THAT MAKE SURE%
THAT'S FAIR AND EQUITABLE
ACROSS THE BOARD. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER RODRIGUEZ.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER JONES SAWYER
YOUR RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
MISTER SPEAKER. WE'RE LONG
OVERDUE TO PASS MEANINGFUL
POLICE REFORM TOO OFTEN WE SEE
POLICE OFFICERS ESCAPE
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE VIOLENCE
THEY COMMIT WHETHER IT BE BY A
GUN CHILL COLD OR MISUSE OF
CALIFORNIA LAW. LET'S BE CLEAR.
IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW THE
SYSTEM WE HAVE IS BROKEN THAT'S
WHY WE'RE HERE RIGHT NOW. IN
CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW IF AN
OFFICER MISBEHAVES OR DONE
SOMETHING INAPPROPRIATE THERE'S
INTERNAL AFFAIRS. DOES A POLICE
REVIEW BOARD THERE IS SOMETIMES
IN LA WE HAVE POLICE COMMISSION.
WE HAVE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR
GENERAL WE HAVE DAY CALIFORNIA
CITY ATTORNEY WITH CITY
ATTORNEY D. A GRAND JURIES
ATTORNEY GENERAL. AND SOMETIMES
A FERAL DOJ TO HAS TO INTERCEDE
WHEN WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE
BAD OFFICER. WE HAVE ALL OF
THAT. AND WE STILL HERE TALKING
ABOUT IT AND WE STILL NOT
GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THE
PROBLEM OF ELIMINATING BAD
OFFICERS. WHAT CALIFORNIA HAS
BEEN A LEADER IN MANY OF THESE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORMS ISSUES
WE'RE STILL ONE OF THE LAST FEW
STATES TO NOT HAVE A
DECERTIFICATION PROCESS IN
PLACE TO REMOVE POLICE
OFFICERS. PEACE OFFICER STATUS
AS A MIXED RESULT IN
MISCONDUCT. ESTABLISHMENT SEEN
SUCH A TIMELY COMMONSENSE LAW
WAS SIGNAL TO CALIFORNIANS THAT
ALL OFFICERS MUST CARRY OUT
THEIR JOB PROPERLY AND WITH
RESPECT TO THE COMMUNITIES THEY
SERVE. AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH
THIS MAJOR REFORM IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT WE INSURE. BOTH
ADVOCATES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
ARE ABLE TO COME TOGETHER. AS
CHAIR PUBLIC SAFETY I HEAR FROM
BOTH SIDES. BOTH SIDES LET'S BE
VERY CLEAR BOTH SIDES ONE
ELIMINATE BAD OFFICERS. I TO AS
IT AFRICAN AMERICAN FATHER TO
AFRICAN AMERICAN SONS ARE ALSO
CONCERNED THAT THEY GET HOME
EVERY NIGHT. JUST LIKE MY
COLLEAGUE IS CONCERNED THAT HIS
SON GETS HOME EVERY NIGHT.
THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD COME
TOGETHER SAID THAT ALL OF OUR
SON. COULD COME HOME SAFELY
EVERY NIGHT THAT THERE IS NO
MISUNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE
CLEAR RULES TO THE SOMEBODY
DISOBEYS THE LAW NO MATTER TO
HAVE A BAD WEATHER NOT THEY
DON'T HAVE A BADGE. THAT THEY
ARE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT OF THE LAW. LET'S
REMEMBER THE S. B. TWO WAS
INITIALLY SILENT FOR EXAMPLE ON
A TRAINING FOR ADVISORY BOARD
MEMBERS. AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE. ENSURED THAT AS A-
AS A MATTER FACT THAT THERE
ARE. BEING ABLE TO BE TRAINED
NOW ALL ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS
MUST TAKE A FORTY HOUR TRAINING
COURSE. ABOUT THE CERTIFICATION
PROCESS INTERNAL AFFAIRS
INVESTIGATION EVIDENTIARY
STANDARDS USE OF FORCE
STANDARDS AND TRAINING AND
LOCAL DISCIPLINARY PROCESSES.
IN OTHER WORDS IT'S NOT JUST A
RANDOM GROUP OF PEOPLE. THE
BROUGHT TOGETHER THEIR TRAIN SO
THEY CAN DO THEIR JOB SO YOU DO
THE BEST JOB POSSIBLE. SO THAT
WE CAN GET TO THE FAIRNESS DO
WE WANT. JUST BE BILL CREATES A
FAIR AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS
THAT IS THE FIRST STEP IN
REBUILDING COMMUNITY TRUST.
ADDRESS B. TWO OFFICES THAT ARE
UNDER INVESTIGATION ARE
ENTITLED TO A FULL. EVIDENTIARY
HEARING. DEMANDING FOR MORE
WOULD BE UNFAIR TO THE VICTIMS
OF POLICE ABUSE LET'S BE CLEAR
THIS BILL HAS ALL THE
PROTECTIONS THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT NEEDS AND FOR
MEMBERS WHO ARE A LITTLE
RETICENT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH IN HERE. TO ENSURE THAT.
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THAT
DO THE RIGHT THING THEY'RE NOT
PROTECTIONS IN HERE TO ENSURE.
THAT THEY DON'T GET RAILROADED
THEY ARE UNJUSTLY UNFAIRLY
PROSECUTED. IT IS TIME FOR
CALIFORNIA TO JOIN FORTY SIX
OTHER STATES THAT HAVE ALREADY
ESTABLISHED THEIR OWN
DECERTIFICATION LOS I SUPPORT
SB TWO. AND CREATION OF A STATE
WIDE DECERTIFICATION PROCESS
FOR PEACE OFFICE FOLLOWING THE
CONVICTION OF CERTAIN SERIOUS
CRIMES AMER STOCK MISCONDUCT.
LOOK THIS IS THE BEGINNING.
THIS TO BE VERY BEGINNING. AND
IS NOT THE END OF ROOTING OUT
BAD POLICE OFFICERS IN OUR
COMMUNITY THIRTY SECOND GETTING.
THIS IS THE TIME THAT WE TAKE
ACTION SO WE CAN START THIS
PROCESS TO MAKE IT MORE FAIR
BUT MOST IMPORTANT WE GET THOSE
BAD OFFICERS OFF THE STREET I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU MISTER JONES
SAWYER. MISTER DAVID CHIU YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
MISTER SPEAKER COLLEAGUES I
RISE AS A FORMER CRIMINAL
PROSECUTOR AND- I RISE TO SPEAK
BRIEFLY ABOUT WHY I AM
SUPPORTING THIS BILL. AS
PROSECUTORS WE NEED TO RELY ON
LAW ENFORCEMENT TO INVESTIGATE
CASES AND FAIRLY ENFORCED LAW.
WE CAN'T DO OUR JOBS IF WE'RE
NOT ABLE TO RELY ON CERTAIN
POLICE OFFICERS WHO WE WORK
WITH CLOSELY AS WITNESSES FOR
INVESTIGATIONS. OFFICERS WITH
THE HISTORY OF MISCONDUCT OR
FALSIFYING RECORDS CAN HAVE
THEIR CREDIBILITY IMPEACHED AT
EVERY TRIAL GOING FORWARD THIS
UNDERMINES POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS
OF TRIALS. I WANT TO APPRECIATE
THE COMMENTS OF OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM POMONA ABOUT. HIS SON. HIS
HEART FULL PERSPECTIVE. I THINK
WE ARE ALL INCREDIBLY
SYMPATHETIC. ABOUT THAT
PERSPECTIVE. AND WE ALL KNOW.
WITHOUT EVER HAVING MET YOUR
SON WE BELIEVE IN HIS INTEGRITY
WE BELIEVE IN HIS HONOR. AND
WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT
OFFICERS WITH THE PROBLEMATIC
BACKGROUNDS HARNISH. THE HONOR
AND THE INTEGRITY. OF THOSE
OFFICERS LIKE YOUR SON. THAT IS
WHY I'M SUPPORTING THIS BILL
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL.
THANK YOU MR CHIU. MR LACKEY.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THIS IS A
SURPRISE COULD THIS BILL CAME
UP TODAY- BUT IT'S WHERE THEY-
OF DISCUSSION ON THIS IS A VERY
VERY POWERFUL ISSUE. AND ONE
THAT WE NEED TO GET RIGHT. WELL
I WOULD TELL YOU THAT'S MY
PERSPECTIVE AS A- CAREER LAW
ENFORCEMENT PERSON IS SPENT
MOST OF MY CAREER BEING IN
SUPERVISION. INTEGRITY TO THE
BADGE IS THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU
HAVE EFFECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT
IT'S ONLY WAY. AND SO DO WE
NEED A CERTIFICATION PROCESS OF
COURSE WE DO. BUT SOMETIMES OUR
MOTION HELPS DEFINE WHAT WE SEE
AS FAIR AND UNFAIR AND I WOULD
ASK YOU TO JUST STEP BACK FROM
YOUR EMOTIONALCOMMITMENT FOR
JUST A MINUTE. AND THAT YOU
CONSIDER. ONE OF THE CONCERNS
I'M JUST GOING TO MENTION ONE
OF THE CONCERNS OF THIS BILL.
IT'S GETTING CLOSE AND I THINK
THERE'S BEEN SOME ATTEMPTS. TO
MOVE TOWARDS FAIRNESS BUT I
DON'T THINK IT'S- IT'S WHERE IT
NEEDS TO BE AND THIS IS A VERY
VERY POWERFUL MESSAGE TO OUR
LAW ENFORCEMENT. VERY POWERFUL
MESSAGE. THAT I THINK HAS BEEN
MISUNDERSTOOD. BY MANY WHO WEAR
THE BADGE WE ALL SUFFER FROM
THAT ALL OF US SOME MORE THAN
OTHERS AND I WOULD SAY. PEOPLE
THAT ARE NOT IN THIS ROOM ARE
MORE AFFORDABLE. TOO BAD LAW
ENFORCEMENT. AND THAT ALSO
MEANS DISENGAGE ONE FOR SENATE
AND THAT IS A NATURAL RESULT TO
UNFAIR LEGISLATION IS
DISENGAGEMENT. THINK OF IT IF
YOU ARE A BADGE HOW WOULD YOU
FEEL. WELL LET ME JUST TELL YOU.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE OVER
SB TWO IN ITS CURRENT STATE IS
THE DEFINITION OF SERIOUS
MISCONDUCT. OFFENSES FOR WHICH
AN OFFICER MAY BE SUSPENDED FOR
DECERTIFIED BY POST. WE ALL ARE
VAGUELY DESCRIBED WE ALL AGREE
THAT MISCONDUCT SHORT OF A
FELONY CONVICTION SHOULD BE
ELIGIBLE FOR DECERTIFICATION
BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT BEFORE
WE EXPOSE AN OFFICER TO
POTENTIALLY BEING BANNED. IN
THEIR PROFESSION BUT THE
DEFINITION BE LIMITED TO THOSE
OFFENSES WHICH DEMONSTRATE UP
FITNESS TO BE AN OFFICER. SB
CHOOSE DEFINITION IS QUITE
BROAD. IT INCLUDES UNIFIED TERM
BIAS ON THE BASIS OF HOUSING
STATUS. IT INCLUDES FAILURE TO
INTERCEDE AND EXCESSIVE FORCE.
THE PERMITS POSTED TO FIND ANY
ACT. THE VIOLATES THE LAW AS
SERIOUS MISCONDUCT. I BELIEVE
AT LEAST ONE SANCTIONS SHORT OF
THE CERTIFICATION OR SUSPENSION
ARE NOT AVAILABLE BUT THE
DEFINITION SHOULD BE LIMITED TO
MORE EGREGIOUS ACTS. WHICH
THEMSELVES OF ALL CRIMINAL
VIOLATIONS. ABUSE OF AUTHORITY
HER DISHONESTY THIS BILL GOES
WAY BEYOND THAT. LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN WE DO NEED A JUST A
DECERTIFICATION PROCESS. BUT WE
ALSO NEED THAT TO BE FAIR. IF
IT'S NOT FAIR. WE'VE WE'VE
BROUGHT DISCREDIT TO THIS
INSTITUTION TO OURSELVES AND WE
SEND A MESSAGE TO OUR OFFICERS.
THAT WE DON'T CARE. SO AS FOR
NOW. MEMBERS IF YOU'RE GONNA BE
RAISING YOUR MICROPHONES PLEASE
DO SO NOW. MR COOLEY YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. COLLEAGUES I AM
HONORED TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF
SB TWO TODAY. AND- I JUST WANT
TO OFFER A REFLECTION UPON WHY
WE'RE HERE YOU KNOW THE HISTORY
OF THE THREAD OF HISTORY RUNS
TO THIS CHAMBER. WE WERE ALL A
GREAT MOMENT ARM PERSONAL HER
SHOES WERE RELUCTANT TO IT. BUT
THE THREAT OF HER THREE RUNS TO
OUR DELIBERATIONS HERE. WHEN I
WAS EIGHT. I WAS A WEIRD LITTLE
EIGHT YEAR OLD AND I WROTE A
LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT JOHN F.
KENNEDY. THAT ADVOCATES
TESTIFIES HOW WEIRD I WAS EIGHT
YEARS OLD RIGHT THE PRESIDENT.
VERY IMPORTANT PRESENT ONE OF
HIS COMMENTS ACTUALLY THAT I'VE
ALWAYS BROUGHT WITH ME IN
PUBLIC SERVICE. IS TO GOVERN IS
TO CHOOSE. THAT IS THE GREAT AN
AWFUL RESPONSIBLE TO THE POLLS
ON EACH OF US TO GOVERN IS TO
CHOOSE. THAT IS A HEAVY METAL
THE BARE UNDER OATH OF OFFICE.
AND THE TIME TO WHICH SAYS
EXERCISES SOMETIME BETWEEN AND
SOMETIMES OF GREAT CONSEQUENCE.
WE SIT HERE IN THIS CHAMBER AND
I'VE OFTEN. REFLECTED UPON WHAT
IS THE PIECE OF PAPER THAT
ABRAHAM LINCOLN IS HOLDEN IS
HANDS. I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW
THIS PAIN IS ONE OF SEVEN THE
ORIGINAL PAINTED AND LYFT
BEFORE HE WAS ASSASSINATED. SO
I SORT OF THINK THE CANDIDATE
FOR ME IS THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION. MIGHT BE TO
GETTYSBURG ADDRESS WAS ONLY A
COUPLE OUTSTANDING PIECES OF
PAPER USUALLY REMEMBERED FOR.
AND OF COURSE AT STANFORD HE
WAS AND A PRESIDENT OF EPIC
DIMENSION IN A TIME OF EPIC
CHALLENGE. AND STEERED A COURSE
TO CHALLENGE US. TO MOVE INTO A
BETTER FUTURE AS A NATION. AND
I SORT OF FEEL THAT IS WHERE WE
COME IN THIS MOMENT. I USE MY
SUMMER BREAK TO ENJOY READING.
I READ WILLIAM SAFIRE'S GREAT
BOOK FREEDOM NINE HUNDRED PAGES
ABOUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN. AND
EVENTS THAT LED TO THE
EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. AND
MORE RECENTLY I JUST WRAPPED UP
ERNEST J. GAINES IS TREMENDOUS
BOOK A GATHERING OF OLD MEN.
WHICH IS ABOUT. RELATIONS IN
THE SOUTH. IN THE NINETEEN
SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES I
COMMITTED TO YOUR READING
BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE THREAT
OF HISTORY DOES RUN THROUGH
THIS CHAMBERS. I THINK IT IS
OUR MENTAL RESPONSIBILITY TO
CHOOSE. AND I ACTUALLY FEEL WE
ARE AT A MOMENT WHEN. WE NEED A
MODEL. CHOOSING A BETTER FUTURE
FOR ALL CALIFORNIA FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. THAT IS WHAT THE
ALLEGORY ON THE WEST PORTICOS
ALL ABOUT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR
ME SAY THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN THE
WEST PORTICO UP THERE YOU GOT
THAT GRIZZLY BEAR ATTACKING A
GUY ON HORSEBACK. BUT
INDEPENDENT AT THE GRIZZLY BEAR
HAD BEEN SUBDUED BY ATHENA.
REPRESENT GOVERNMENT BUT ALSO
COMMUNITY. TRYING TO SUBDUE
THOSE PAIRS THAT ARISE IN THE
LIVES OF OUR CITIZENS IS OUR
JOB. WE DO IT SIMPLY BY OUR
CHOICE EXERCISE THE GREY METAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO GOVERN IS TO
CHOOSE BUT WE DO WITH PARTNERS.
AND I KNOW THIS IS WHAT MISTER
BRADFORD WITH THE SUPPORT OF
TONI ATKINS AND OTHERS. HAVE
LABOR TOWARDS. I THANK THEM FOR
THEIR LABOR. I WANT TO CHOOSE
HISTORY I'M AND I ON THE S. B.
TO URGE YOU TO JOIN. THANK YOU
MISS COOLEY MR MURATSUCHI. YOU.
ARE RECOGNIZED. YEAH.
COLLEAGUES AS A FORMER STATE
PROSECUTOR. I SUPPORT LAW
ENFORCEMENT. I REPRESENT.
COMMUNITIES LIKE TORRANCE.
WHERE WE SUPPORT OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT. YOU'LL NEVER HEAR
ME TALKING ABOUT DE FUNDING THE
POLICE. BECAUSE. WE SUPPORT.
OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY FOR PROTECTING OUR
FAMILIES OUR NEIGHBORHOODS OUR
COMMUNITIES. AND SO THIS BILL.
I'VE BEEN ANGST THING OVER THIS
BILL FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
BECAUSE. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE
SAID THIS ALREADY WE HAVE
BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT. THAT WE
NEED A PROCESS TO GET RID OF
BAD COPS. WE NEED. TO GET RID
OF THE PROCESSING TO GET RID OF
BAD COPS A BOOK WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE. AS OUR CALLING FROM
LANCASTER ONE OF THE FEW CAREER
LAW ENFORCEMENT. FOLKS ON THIS
FLOOR STATED THAT IT NEEDS TO
BE FAIR IT NEEDS TO BE FAIR
FOR. ALL OF OUR- MEN AND WOMEN
WHO SERVE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.
OTHERWISE IT'S NOT FAIR FOR
THEM. MY REVIEW OF THIS. BILL
ESPECIALLY AFTER THE AMENDMENTS.%
THERE ARE CONTINUE TO BE A LOT
OF FAULTS WITH THIS BILL I
GUESS I CONTINUE TO SHARE THE
CONCERNS ABOUT. THE BIASED
NATURE OF THE ADVISORY BOARD.
AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE.
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THIS
RIGHT. BUT AFTER REVIEWING WHAT
I UNDERSTAND TO BE. THE
MULTIPLE LAYERS OF REVIEW THAT
IS PROVIDED IN SB TWO. THE
FIRST DAYS. THAT POST.
DETERMINES WHETHER A COMPLAINT-
REPORT OF SERIOUS MISCONDUCT
WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION
TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN OFFICER
ENGAGED IN SERIOUSNESS
MISCONDUCT. THE SECOND PHASE
THE POST HAS AN INVESTIGATIVE
DIVISION. DIGITAL INVESTIGATION
AND IF NECESSARY CONDUCT
FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND IF
ONLY AND ONLY IF THE POST
DIVISION DETERMINES THAT THERE
IS REASONABLE GROUNDS FOR
DECERTIFICATION BENNETT THEN
BRING THE CASE THE ADVISORY
BOARD. THE ADVISORY BOARD THEN
GET THE CHANCE TO LOOK AT WHAT
THE INVESTIGATIVE THE DIVISION
PRESENTS TO THEM. AND DATE MAKE
THEIR RECOMMENDATION. TO THE
FULL POST COMMISSION. THE FULL
POST COMMISSION. OF TWELVE LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS OUT OF
SEVENTEEN MEMBERS REVIEWS THE
POST INVESTIGATION. AND THE
BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION AND
DECIDES WHETHER TO ADOPT OR
REJECT IT. IT'S ALSO MY
UNDERSTANDING. THAT THE RECENT
AMENDMENTS. PROVIDES THE
OPTIONS NOT ONLY OF
DECERTIFYING THE OFFICERS BUT
ALSO OF SUSPENDING THE
CERTIFICATION WHICH ABSOLUTELY
MAKES SENSE TO ME. THAT THERE
SHOULD BE DEGREES. OF
DISCIPLINE IT SHOULD NOT BE AN
ALL OR NOTHING PROPOSITION. IF
THE FULL POST COMMISSION
DECIDES TO SEEK DISCIPLINE. THE
OFFICER IS STILL ENTITLED TO A
FULL AND FORMAL ADMINISTRATIVE
HEARING. BEFORE AN
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE ON
WHETHER THE DECERTIFICATION IS
WARRANTED. AND F. AFTER THAT IF
THE OFFICER IS STILL NOT
SATISFIED. THEY STILL HAVE THE
RIGHT TO AN APPEAL OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE. HEARING'S
DECISION AND SUPERIOR COURT
THIRTY SECONDS SO. THIS IS NOT
A PERFECT BILL I WISH THE
AUTHOR WOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE
AMENDMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THIS IS A FAIR PROCESS. BUT I
DO BELIEVE. THAT WE CANNOT
CONTINUE WITH BUSINESS AS USUAL
I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE BEEN
TOO MANY INCIDENTS OF POLICE
MISCONDUCT AND I DO BELIEVE
THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE
SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE. THAT WE
STOP. SERIOUS MISCONDUCT BY THE
A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SO
THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE
SEPARATE THE GOOD COPS FROM THE
BAD COPS. AND FOR THAT REASON I
WILL BE VOTING IN SUPPORT OF SB
TWO. MR LOW. MR LOW YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MISTER SPEAKER AND COLLEAGUES.
ALL RIGHTS IS HERE AND
OBSERVATION EXPERIENCE AS MANY
OF YOU MAY KNOW THAT. I ALSO
COME FROM A FAMILY OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT HAS MADE NO I LIVE
WITH MY BROTHER BACK IN THE
DISTRICT. AND HE'S BEEN A
POLICE OFFICER IN OAKLAND AND
CURRENTLY SERVING IN SAN JOSE.
AND JUST TO SHARE WITH YOU THE
EXPERIENCES IN WHICH HE KNOCKS.
ON MY DOOR. AT THREE O'CLOCK IN
THE MORNING FINISHING A SHIFT
WITH PUNCTURE WOUNDS IN HIS
HANDS. ASKING ME HAVE YOU
ABANDONED US. DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
THESE EXPERIENCES DOES THE
MEDIA COVER THE EXPERIENCES OF
WHAT IS LIFE FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO BE ON THE
STREETS PROTECTING ANSWERING
EVERY CALL FOR SERVICE. WHEN
ARE COMMITTEE MEMBERS NEED THEM.
THIS IS VERY PERSONAL. AND I
OFTENTIMES WONDER AND RECALL
THE EXPERIENCE AND WHICH FOR
OFFICERS WHEN HE WAS IN OAKLAND
WERE KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
AND NOT BE ABLE TO CONTACT HIM.
WHAT THAT FEELING IS LIKE EACH
AND EVERY DAY FOR MEMBERS WHO
HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS.
AND THEIR FAMILIES. THEY PUT ON
THE UNIFORM PROUDLY TO STAND UP.
AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITY TO
PROTECT AND SERVE WITH DIGNITY
AND DISTINCTION. AT THE SAME
TIME I'VE ALSO TAKEN THE TIME
TO MEET WITH FAMILY MEMBERS WHO
HAVE LOST LOVED ONES AN OFFICER
INVOLVED SHOOTINGS. I FELT THE
PAIN AND AGONY. I'VE LISTENED I
AM ALSO. GOING ON RIDE ALONGS
WITH POLICE OFFICERS I
PARTICIPATED IN SIMULATIONS I
HAVE CONVERSATION WITH AYE
POLICE USED TO UNDERSTAND THE
FUNDAMENTALS AND THE CHALLENGES.
THEY'RE DEALING WITH.
COLLEAGUES MEMBERS OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT HAVE BEEN MARCHING
WITH US AS WELL WE'VE SEEN THE
MARCHING WITH US IN BLACK LIVES
MATTER WE SEE IN THE MARCHING
AND STOPPING ASIAN HEY WE
DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE MARCHING
AND GAY PRIDE. EVEN WHEN THEY
ARE. NO LONGER WELCOMES. AND
THE INVITATION IS RESCINDED FOR
THEM NOT TO MARCH IN PRIDE IN
UNIFORM THEY STILL MARCH WITH
US. THAT IS THE TYPE OF
DEDICATION MEMBERS HAVE. I'M OF
THE SAME TIME WE TALK ABOUT
STRENGTHENING. INSTITUTION. AND
MAKING SURE THAT WE WEED OUT.
BAD COPS. AND SO THIS BILL IS
ABOUT STRENGTHENING THE
INSTITUTION. THIS BILL IS A
CONTINUATION TO RECTIFY THE
INJUSTICES OF THE PAST BUT
COLLEAGUES AT THE SAME TIME THE
WORK IS NOT DONE IF WE TRULY
CARE ABOUT REFORMING LAW
ENFORCEMENT THEN WE SHOULD
ADEQUATELY FUND. POST WE SHOULD
ADAM GRIDLEY HELP ENSURE THAT
WE HAVE MORE DIVERSITY. AND
RANK AND FILE. MORE AFTER
AMERICAN ASIAN PROVIDER WOMEN
LGBT POLICE CHIEFS SHERIFFS. TO
REFLECT OUR COMMUNITIES SO LET
US NOT STOP HERE AND THINK THAT
OUR JOB IS DONE. BUT AT THE
SAME TIME LET US ALSO NOT
DEMONIZED BECAUSE THERE IS A-
FEAR. ABOUT THE NOTION ABOUT
FEEDING INTO THIS ABOLISHING
THE POLICE AND THE POLICE ARE
BAD. WHEN IN FACT WE ALL WANT
THE SAME THING SAFE STREETS
SAFE COMMUNITIES THEY ARE JUST
LIKE US. SO LET US REAFFIRM OUR
COMMITMENT NOT ONLY IN SUPPORT
OF THIS LEGISLATION BUT ALSO
WORKING HARD. TO SAY THAT WE
STAND WITH MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES
AND SAYING. WE STAND WITH YOU
WE WANT TO HELP. ADDRESS THE
INEQUITIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES
BUT COLLECTIVELY TOGETHER FOR
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL I
RESPECTFULLY ASK PRIVATE. THANK
YOU MR LOW THANK YOU MEMBERS.
MISTER SPEAKER YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU MISTER
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS COLLEAGUES
I RISE TODAY TO ADD MY VOICE TO
THE SUPPORT FOR SB TWO. THIS
WILL SURPRISE NO ONE SINCE I'VE
BEEN OUTSPOKEN ON THE NEED FOR
THIS LEGISLATION. WE KNOW GREAT
MAJORITY POLICE OFFICERS
FAITHFULLY PROTECT PUBLIC
SAFETY. UNFORTUNATELY AT THE
SAME TIME A FEW BAD ACTORS
JEOPARDIZE PUBLIC SAFETY. IT
DOESN'T HAVE TO RISE TO THE
LEVEL OF KILLINGS LIKE GEORGE
FLOYD- LIZA MCCAIN. AN OFFICER
WHO STANDS BY WHILE A FOLLOW
OFFICERS SOUGHT TO MEMBER THE
PUBLIC. IS JEOPARDIZING OUR
SAFETY. AN OFFICER WHO LIES
ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF A
TRAFFIC STOP OR AN ARREST IS
JEOPARDIZING OUR SAFETY. AN
OFFICER SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
WOMAN UNDER COLOR OF AUTHORITY
IS JEOPARDIZING OUR SAFETY. WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT OFFICERS
WHO DO ANY OF THESE THINGS ARE
KEPT OUT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.
THAT'S WHAT THIS DE
CERTIFICATION DOES ABOUT. IT
HAS A CLEAR AND FAIR REVIEW
PROCESS WITH HALF A DOZEN
LEVELS OF REVIEW. BEFORE AN
ACCUSED OFFICERS DEFERRED THE
CERTIFICATION IS FINAL. AND
THAT IS FAR MORE DUE PROCESS
THAN GEORGE FORD GOT. THAT'S
FAR MORE DO DUE PROCESS. IS TO
FIND CLARK THAT. ESTABLISHING
CONSEQUENCES FOR OFFICIAL
MISDEEDS BY POLICE. SHOULD NOT
BE CHARACTERIZED AS HURTING
PLEASE IT'S JUST THE OPPOSITE.
IT'S STRENGTHENS OUR PUBLIC'S
IT STRENGTHENS OUR PUBLIC
SAFETY SYSTEM THIS THIS
CERTIFICATION BILL WILL DO THAT.
IT IS ANOTHER CALIFORNIA
MILESTONE AND I ASK YOUR VOTE
FOR S. B. LAST YEAR I VOTED FOR
SB TWO. THANK YOU MISS BAKER.
THANK YOU MEMBERS DR WEBER YOU
MAY CLOSE. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR THIS ROBUST
DEBATE AND I REALLY WANT TO
THANK THE SPEAKER FOR COMING
AND GIVING HIS SUPPORT IT
REALLY MEANS A LOT TO EVERYONE
WHO HAS FOUGHT SO HARD TO MAKE
SURE THAT THIS BILL IS A
REALITY. I REALLY WANT TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS
THAT WERE BROUGHT UP. FIRST
ABOUT THE ADVISORY BOARD. SO
YOU KNOW REMEMBER THE ADVISORY
BOARD TO SEVEN COMMUNITY
REPRESENTATIVES AND TWO MEMBERS
FROM THE LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE
TWO OFFICERS ONE LAWYER. TO
FROM AN ACADEMIC OR NONPROFIT
INSTITUTION. TO FROM COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATIONS INTO
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. AND SO I
THINK THAT IT IS. UNFAIR OF US
TO ASSUME. THAT THESE
INDIVIDUALS WILL HAVE BY.
ADDITIONALLY YOU KNOW I WANT
EVERYONE TO REMEMBER THAT THE
POST COMMISSION WHICH IS THE
SUPERMAJORITY OF POLICE
OFFICERS THAT THEY START AND IN
THIS PROCESS THE ADVISORY BOARD
IS JUST THERE TO GIVE ADVICE ON
WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE SHOULD
BE TO CERTIFIED BASED OFF OF A
PROCESS THAT POST INITIATED AND
POST AT THE END OF THE DAY WILL
DETERMINE IF THAT ACTUALLY
HAPPENS. THE SECOND THAT WAS
BROUGHT UP REVOLVED AROUND THE
ISSUE OF RETROACTIVE
DECERTIFICATION SO THE
COMMISSION HAS THE ABILITY TO
RETROACTIVELY REVIEW CERTAIN
MISCONDUCT RELATED TO DEADLY
USE OF FORCE. SEXUAL ASSAULT OR
DISHONESTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF
THE CERTIFICATION. IF THAT
HAPPENED BEFORE TWENTY TWENTY
AND THAT OFFICER WAS NOT
CHARGED AT THE TIME THAT IT IS
UNLIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE
EVIDENCE TO NOW DECERTIFY THAT
OFFICER BUT SHE WOULD HAVE TO
HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THE
COMMISSION DECIDED THAT THEY
WANTED TO REVIEW THAT FILE.
AFTER REVIEWING THE FILE. ONCE
AGAIN NOT PROCESS START THAT
POST WOULD SAY THAT THERE IS
ENOUGH EVIDENCE. TO THEN GO
DOWN THAT SIX STAGE PROCESS
THAT MY COLLEAGUE WENT THROUGH.
SO NOT JUST ANYBODY TWENTY
THIRTY YEARS LATER CAN HAVE
THEIR FILES REVIEW. AND FINALLY
THE ISSUE OF MISCONDUCT AND HOW
TO DEFINE IT. ONCE AGAIN POST
IS DEFINING WHAT MISCONDUCT IS.
NOT NECESSARILY WRITTEN IN
STONE BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT
LAW ENFORCEMENT IS PUTTING OUT
THERE FOR THEIR DEFINITION OF
WHAT BAY DEFINE AS MUCH CONTACT.
SO IN CLOSING I WANT TO THANK
THE AUTHORS ALL THE CO AUTHORS
THE SPONSORS AND ALL OF THE
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHO
WORK SO HARD ON THIS BILL. THE
TIME IS NOW TO ESTABLISH A
STATE WIDE PROCESS OF
ACCOUNTABILITY TO BRING
CALIFORNIA ALONG WITH FORTY
OTHER THE FORTY SIX OTHER

INTEGRITY OF THE BADGE AND
