?Very kind of you. Thank you Jennifer. Here is a great pic of Mayor Taylor from today's event. She spoke passionately from her heart on these issues. With kind regards, Ray Mueller (please excuse odd punctuation. my laptop does not always work well with the City's email system.) ________________________________ From: Jennifer Johnson Sent: Monday, June 1, 2020 3:02 PM To: Mueller, Ray Cc: _CCIN Subject: Re: equity issues Dear Council Members, I have noticed and friends have told me that the MP police patrol the eastern side of the city far more than W. MP. Friends have told me that they have been stopped by officers and told to go home when they are using outdoor space for exercise just for their family and are not violating any of the SIP guidelines. Families who live in apartments (including mine) need to have access to the outdoors for healthy exercise. This family is now fearful of being outdoors because of being approached by police multiple times when it was only their immediate family exercising together. I live in WMP and have seen little police presence here and no signs of officers telling all of the people on this side of town to stop congregating at Sharon Park and elsewhere in groups of teens and multiple families. As a resident who values equity, that doesn't sit right with me. Best, Jennifer (image/jpeg attachment: 100595693_10157054409901426_1756269409313226752_o.jpg )
