accused of misconduct was approved by a fractured San Antonio City Council Thursday, despite calls from some community members to reject it for not instituting enough reforms.
Tension was palpable in the City Council Chamber Thursday, as some local organizers shouted out responses to council members’ remarks — saying more reform is possible but there wasn’t enough political will to make it happen.Misconduct investigations and discipline took center stage in this round of negotiations. Police union contracts have been in the national spotlight since summer 2020, when widespread protests erupted over the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
During an interview or interrogation, which is led by internal affairs staff, the officer involved is able to review statements, video recordings, audio recordings and photographs regarding the incident. Now, however, the officer now won’t be able to view statements or recordings from other officers being investigated — another key change from the last contract.
Contract is good. Carry on. Your 15 min of activist fame is over.
NIRENBERG & COUNCIL KNOW it is NOT a FAIR or GOOD CONTRACT; MAYOR FAILED to DISPLAY the LEVEL of LEADERSHIP this CITY NEEDS to GET to a FAIR & GOOD CONTRACT. MORE VICTIMS of SAPD CIVIL RIGHTS ABUSES & UNJUSTIFIED SHOOTINGS/KILLINGS WILL OCCUR!
