In light of recent events, I ask that in today's review of the 2020-21 budget, you reallocate some of the funds currently directed toward the police department to other programs and alternative forms of policing. While not specific to San Luis Obispo, law enforcement across the country has been given far too many resources that result in an abuse of power. Resources that further empower violent police action could be put to better use throughout San Luis Obispo to make our community better. Please consider the potential risks if you do choose to further fund the police, in the wake of already semi violent protests. Avoid that alternative; allocate funding elsewhere please. Thank you for all you do for the city of San Luis Obispo and for your consideration. Best, Dillon Garcia 1
