 How do y'all go on wood? Oh, honey. How'd you just crying? Oh, they're going on chief. Justice Well, I had to check it again How do y'all know they're going word? Where's your suit? I decided to not wear the suit until I'm present I'm gonna present next week. Why are you presenting? So it looks like it because of the other legislation So after stream dude, I was like nine a.m. playing off stream talking to people because like Well, I In my heart do I announce the beginning of the fifth Counsel of eight meeting today. We have some special guests We have captain Leonardo slacks and captain white Turner the LSPD captain white Turner is a 23 year old or sorry 23 Veteran of the police force is currently extending his tour of duty into the Literally About we have Leonardo slacks a young bright up and coming captain Trying his best to make sense of the landscape and we have a cleavage cornwood Who will be taking notes for me today as he is part of my legal counsel? First and foremost, let's welcome our new chief of staff Siobhan. Hey check. Can somebody take notes for the meeting for me, please? I Just want to say that I'm really I don't know I just want to say I think some of us may have gotten off on the wrong foot and I want to be clear that I have you know Always thought is what is good for the city on the state. I don't care about personal gain If I did I would not been a judge, you know I think Crane can attest to the fact that I don't really have an ego and it's about what's best for the city And I always put the best interest of the city first you have my promise and my word Wait, is there a way to do that? Who slipped me moonshine? Not me. Oh When it was me It was me and when it was it was like a week ago or some shit. Wait, there's some on the floor here There are moonshine bottles on the floor. I did not want to pick it up and be in a possession of it Yeah, that would be a lot. I did not pick it up and somehow There's a there's a bottle next to every chair right now guys. Yeah, that's that's what I noticed as well I presume because of the to set the tone for the the meeting that we're about see the cornwood thing to do would be to bend over and Pick one up and drink it. Would you like those cups gated? Yeah, I don't want to Fucking sober this is kind of an insult or did that shit, but they're literally gonna fire me if I do it You you able to pick that one up Don't he's gonna get your DNA. Sorry I Prepared a little speech because this is important topic with a quite a bit of facets to it I urge you to listen to me. It's a bit lengthy not too long The island is on fire and after the verdict from mr. K last night even more gas has been poured on it The resulting flames will be the perfect backdrop for this incomplete and incompetent police department Their vision of the three pillars has failed Their own police officers officers that I have taken the time to speak to personally are too afraid to rep Too afraid of reprimand from their superiors to even adequately do their job They fear reprimand from their superiors for speaking to me the elected mayor without permission a majority of officers I have spoken to feel that they have been ill-equipped to prepare the next generation of police officers to bring order to this inherently chaotic place They've had two months to flesh out an even in semblance of a suitable chain of command They have chosen instead to greedily bottleneck any semblance of power and responsibility while simultaneously Irresponsibly going MIA at some of the most pivotal moments of their development leaving their subordinates to pick up the pieces without giving them A tool there was no shoes when I confronted these LSPD captains with myriad issues last night I was met with an exceptionally defensive and utterly pathetic attempt at gaslighting They assured me that they were working in earnest to produce money from the bottom up a police department of integrity and accountability The results of this combined effort have been clear to see just last night and many nights as reported to me The police response of the island has been near non-existent I myself have gone down to MRPD last night to investigate and found both gates to their motor pool unlocked and wide open for just about anyone to waltz in I reported on 311 the covers customer service. Esk. Thank you. We'll get right on that I received was more akin to something a waiter might say if I were sending my food back Fortunately for all three of these LSPD captains one of their cadets was lingering about close to the gate for them I was curious I asked this cadet to let the chief of staff and I into the building so that I could see what the police presence was like for Ship 3 at MRPD the halls were empty Eerily silent as the three of us walked through the maze like hallways to find where the four blips identified by this officer might be lingering in MRPD I wanted to see who they were and what they were doing So certainly isn't these individuals were doing something to put that fire out after five minutes of wandering the cadet led us all the way to the top floor of MRPD in eerie liminal space. He pushed open the double doors and breathe I briefly caught a glit and briefly I caught a glimpse of all three LSPD captains huddled in a circle I ushered the cadet in question along and insisted that we be shown out I suspected that they might get in trouble for showing the chief of staff and I around the building considering the volatile conversation I'd had with the three captains earlier that night The cadet showed us out of the building with none of the captains even peeking their head out of the storage closet They were meeting in to see who might be wandering around their headquarters on the way out I asked the cadet What's your general feel for policing on the island these days very hesitantly as though He had been he knew he'd be punished for admitting it. He said oh well I don't know. It's just hard to get out there knowing I might get in trouble for trying to do my job With the three pillars of the LSPD working so desperately to ensure that training comes first and foremost prior to actually establishing a palpable chain of command Why is it that this random cadet would utter such a thing to me buck does have a Environment foster has a lot of problems captains is poisonous It's been increasingly clear clear to me They have no true intention of fleshing out their chain of command in any meaningful or speedy manner given that one captain Turner claimed It would take up to three additional months to have anything remotely resembling such what I asked them last night Well, I'm all for America get out of here now. Yep. All right leave oh Once again captain white Turner claimed to me after inquiry last night that it would take three additional months to have anything Remotely resembling a chain of command. They did however take the time to write out a very nice little document that in the very first paragraph Outlines the very simple fact that they themselves believe that they are the only ones Possibly qualified to become chief of police or in this case commissioner I was sent this by Leonardo slacks after I allowed him to see what I've been working on the realm of this act Why have we gone several nights? Without any meaningful police presence on the island how many shifts have been relegated to ghost towns courtesy of this flagrant Incompetence and utterly pathetic attempt at power and solidity the Cornwood thing to do Pull out the gun and yet not pointed at them even but yell at them and be like every time I hold a town How the people I represent beg me to get Also, they don't understand You know they tell me that they're 3-1 ones and 9-1 ones go out and answered most of the time Why is it taken so long for you two to do something? I know no half the time by actual qualified professionals When I made this known to the captains last night captain who suggested voting by the LSPD to Seize power from the council of eight and to effectively usurp the responsibility Bestowed upon us by the state the responsibility that half of the population of Los Angeles placed in my hands So pressed was she by the prospect of having any amount of oversight whatsoever Treason was the first thing that she so this is what happened my presence in my office in this building In front of my wife and I I think Siobhan other LSP captains who did a hundred percent on this single finger I think she wants character and cornwood have the most similar personality types out of a lot of people captains All the time stop talking. Yeah, I can read it for you. Oh, you know Out loud. Please. There's a please announcement. My bad. My bad. Yeah, there should be I'm sure you're your subordinates Want to know why you didn't do shit about it because I didn't believe treason happened there That's why yeah after the first time pose a hypothetical question That if the city council can just vote and said above the PD Can the captain just vote and said above the city council? That was a question that was posed That sounds like she's posing a hypothetical But first of all canter it's called a hyper for first of all It was so far off base that even if that's what she was trying to do her lack of understanding about how basic Government functions in our island is disgusting She's suggesting for a moment that that is the same thing as the council of aid is ridiculous Because all of us have checks and balances all of you can vote to impeach mean All of you some of you are not elected officials You can be fired and replaced and once again. Oh shit It's so if we were to if we were to secede and make a little text that would technically be true Yeah, I was there. She definitely said that she also said the PD was her own branch of government So that like you know what I mean, so I mean thank God We're all protected by the third part of the Bill of Human Privilege freedom of speech, right? Don't even get me started on you Nicota. Yeah, I'm glad that you're Glad that your captain's are I'm glad I'm glad that your captains are here in a freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences any sort of actual subjects for you from the PD you've said Oh, well, I don't know if I could speak on that. I don't know if I could speak on the behalf of the captain So what's your fucking job at that point? What are you here to accomplish other than to push the agenda that these motherfuckers are trying to have you push? You mean the PD agenda the captain agenda if this was the PD agenda You would have mentioned a single time the point that you and your fellow officers are currently experiencing What what is our plate mayor? Yeah, what is our plate? Mr. Mayor that you know so much about captain's agenda When reality is the PD agenda go ahead Nicota tell him exactly what's going on Well, I just want to hear what's the biggest issues facing the PDR from you Can we talk for a second tonight? I just want to one thing at a time because we've been through so many topics Okay, let me let me finish. Oh, I'm so glad I'm so glad I brought corn on here I'm so glad what just happened so he can just listen and just hear what everybody has to say the combative and Disrespectful tittering from captain Turner and captain Ruth as well as the willful and weaponized ignorance Demonstrated by captain Leonardo slacks last night was both disheartening and eye-opening the LSPD claims to care about the people of Los Santos About us about whoever why is it then when faced with the smallest bit of scrutiny from its mayor an official who represents the Majority of the people of Los Santos of their best interests that cannot fathom that they might have been in the wrong in their methods Or that they could use a little bit of help the the mayor Yes, is is the elected will of the people and as such he represents the will of the state. However Much like myself that you know authority or will of the people is not limitless, you know authoritarian regime where he is going to forcibly take over the PD Sir liar people and and certainly a bunch of crazy shit Firing firing people is the furthest thing on my mind right now Even you fucks and I and I and I can mr. Mayor, please just let me get mayor mayor with all Everybody cool it down as I discussed with you gentlemen out in the hallway This is not something that is of his own Creation spawned from nothingness this council that I helped to design is meant to establish the will of the people Oftentimes I found myself, you know five six years ago overwhelmed trying to cater to everyone's needs Part of the reason for this council existing More appropriate Sheddles like me through different conduit Such as the healthcare field the law enforcement field the legal field when I look at things You need to trust me slacks turner everyone that I'm doing so in the best interest of this state I helped max conceive of many of the ideas in this document This is not something that's coming out of left field. Oh shit We as a council have been approached by many people from PD both on our own as groups Randomly hell. I've been sitting in the lobby of MRP and I've had people say shit to me about how PD's go Thank God this does they all think it's just cornwood Everybody or do I think max not everybody? It's like it's legit over how station we had is that the first step of any of this and Potentially even the penultimate step will solely be to assemble an investigative panel You have my word that he is only trying to do what's best for the city now Do I agree with his exact methodology? No, I do not think that Fire and brimstone preaching from the pulpit is a good way to Accomplish and engender people to your cause so there's no there's no fucking weird discussion about who's the ultimate power Who's taking power from who the end result is we're all trying to do our fucking jobs? Sorry, I'm now I'm fire and brimstone. No I love you when you speak please continue. I think I'm glad max got his shit out of his system I hope in the future he can you know visit a men's warehouse and get some slip-ons at least we'll see Crane In sending in this, you know Investigative body to sort of get us the answers so the reason why we haven't pushed civilian oversight board in the legislation yet Is because it should go as an in tandem The civilian oversight board should be created so that as this investigative panel discovers issues that may be occurring They can be referred directly to Malton because guess what Malton's on the panel I don't think corn was better than you're kidding. I think we don't resemble knowing oversight board Which the election will run in the next week or so assuming this legislation in some form gets passed And it says it should be the mayor's office's goal to ensure that the law enforcement departments are given the tools to succeed It says that every law enforcement officer is afforded the opportunity to succeed so long as they're passionate about their job and committed Along active law enforcement. So there's been some contention of that one Let me be clear. I it was never going to be my intention to go in and be like, hey, you know these These discipline points don't know about that. Don't know about this indefinite suspension. He's hired again, blah, blah, blah I literally won't be doing that it's more about Establishing the chain of command so that you guys are not judge jury and executioner and how would you fix that with an active chain of Command, what would you do in a way to where you'd allow something like that to flourish? What I would do is I would make sure you had a boss a Commissioner a chief of police anyone that could look at your Handed out discipline points and think hey Maybe these guys shouldn't be the ones to review whether or not their decision to hand out discipline points was correct or not Accountability police is the one issuing that points and signing off on it and you don't agree with it What happens then should not be doing that. Yeah, he just doesn't do it I'm just confused What do people have an issue with when a boss or somebody else comes in and remove somebody for lying or integrity false lying evidence? The issue is not the substantive action that has occurred The issue is that procedurally the substantive action is being reviewed by the same people that made the action in the first place It would be like if I did a court case and someone's only chance to appeal was to say hey Crane You ruled on my court case I'm appealing. I think you got it wrong. What do you think you see how awkward and strange that is? Right is the whole point Commissioner correct. I we're on the same page there, which is why I'm saying I don't think anything here is novel or different I just think y'all are having communication problems, which welcome to fucking Los Santos everybody what one of our jobs Okay, there's a difference between my job and their job obviously is that I was elected by people because I talked and listened to them These fucks were picked by the state What one of us is better at listening We meant to vote for this when you were going to oversee them when you were unwilling to speak to them or even show them the basic decency of Talking about Decency canter they threaten treason in city hall last night Second point they didn't threaten treason, okay I've spoken to several officers now and every time I asked them about how it's going or how they feel about their Superiors or how everything is operating within the police department every single one of them has it you know It's funny buck actually told me A month ago, and I told them no begin speaking out of line Nikoda himself in our council meetings is afraid to speak So the 100% of his his job title because he is afraid that is going to contradict what you guys think naturally I presented this I Vote yay Speak up on the police department Los Santos. I vote nay Head of bar Former police commissioner. Hey one one. Well, come on. Yay Shit head of medical group Liaison of the medical group of law. It's a big one Philip a canter. I vote nay, okay to do Justice the venerable me too Alan crane I am of the assumption That madam treasurer will vote nay and thus The vote will not reach a supermajority and thus that will accomplish the state oversight that we have Referred to and thus I'm comfortable voting yay because I believe in my bosses and the state to Repeal this should anything go awry, so okay. Good shit coil save the day Kale so say returns to the PD Jay Chief of staff Siobhan thoroughbred for three yay The gays have it passes Not a supermajority Thus everyone can be assured there is state oversight and potential to repeal should the mayor act out of turn Shit, okay, I will go ahead now and I want my guys into its final form I will ensure there is a sunset clause at the conclusion of my editing I will ask that everyone review my notes and edits such that we are on agreement This is what we voted for when we all agree then I will publish it and I will pass the published version on to the PD You know, it's not gonna be it's not so they's not coming back, right? But it was a joke max. This is simply an investigative panel that will hold Interviews with members of the PD should they wish to speak to the panel and those members of PD can bring up anything they wish Okay, slacks and Turner. I will make the edits we discussed I've already given you my word on what that will consist of I will text you slacks and let you know that it's been updated for your I do like how everything is pointed on max even though it says mayor and deputy mayor Yeah They deserve to be shit talk, let's be honest Okay, so there's some there's some what's that quote about something about your eyes only set clothes or some Some suggestions from the people of Los Santos Are things that I will suggest directly to the Fed they're in my notes document You guys want to take a peek at it or guess at what any of those might be I personally do not think that an additional charge is required for the theft of this particular thing Anything else guys? Sick. Well, this is our shortest meeting yet. I thought this would be our longest one Yeah, okay It's because I don't have anything Hello, howdy. Hey cornwood. So what do you think? I didn't get one.
