The Homestead Valley Community Council approved a resolution in support of law enforcement officers Monday, at its first regular meeting since February. The resolution rejects all calls to defund local, county, and state law enforcement agencies. It urges increased funding to counter what it says are “misguided and dangerous policies by lawmakers (including no bail, mass jail release, and decriminalization of actions formerly recognized as attacks on public safety, law and order),” and says that George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis was not an “indication of systemic minority targeting.”
