atter-Los Angeles, White People 4 Black Lives and the National Lawyers Guild of Los Angeles signed a letter to the police commission urging them to reject the proposal and commit to reducing the LAPD's budget.
"This is the moment to stop expanding an institution that keeps harming our communities. The interpersonal harms that our communities face have been produced by years of police consuming more and more resources that could instead be used for housing, health care, education and other investments that actually keep people safe and healthy," the letter stated.
Commissioner Eileen Decker responded to those concerns.
"I do understand that there are many who believe that the money should not be spent on this department, that it should go elsewhere," Decker said. "I understand that the city does need to invest in community resources, but I also believe the city needs to invest in the department, as well as in these training procedures. These issues I don't think are mutually exclusive."<end_of_turn>
