Great. Can’t wait to hear a bunch of 18 year olds with no life experience who pay no property taxes, don’t own any businesses in town and in no way contribute to our community talk about their ideas they are regurgitating from other like minded morons about how they can improve a profession they have never done and have no frame of reference to have any kind of opinion in. I’m even more excited to hear Karla Brown entertain all these idiotic ideas. Don’t vote for her for mayor if you want to keep Pleasanton safe

I couldn't agree with GREAT more.

I would want to hear from eighteen year old's with fathers killed in line of duty while protecting us.

Then, I would want to hear from the widows of those same officers killed while on active duty protecting us.

Thanks Olorin...at least there are a couple sane people left in our community. Don’t give up the streets and we won’t have to try and take them back later, which is much harder if not impossible. We have a great safe town, let’s keep it that way, support law enforcement and dump any city council member or mayor candidate that doesn’t hold those values

Michael Austin you are a patriot. I hope you make your voice heard with the council as well

I have and will continue to do so.

Stay tuned in.

The police in Pleasanton are awesome. I’ve lived here 40 years and am so happy to have such a great group of officers here in our town.

@Great

I do not think Michael Austin meets the definition of a patriot....

What is the meaning of being a patriot?
noun. a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion. a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, especially of individual rights, against presumed interference by the federal government.

Great, do you not agree with the 26th Amendment? 18 year old citizens are able to express themselves via the right to vote.
The people who are speaking about reforming (not abolishing) the police, are speaking very well. These young adults are not resorting to name-calling (unlike yourself). Have some dignity.

I'm sure most, if not all of us agree with the 26th amendment. It is important to remember, however, that young adults do not have the breadth of important life experiences older adults have. Their opinions are often swayed by social media and their small social circles, rather than being based on their own knowledge and experience. Not that older adults are immune to this phenomenon (Fox news, facebook, etc), but it is important for our representatives to balance the opinions of young voters with their limited experience.

Maybe if we try hard enough, we can become the Portland of the East Bay. Sounds like a great idea.. until you drive out all the revenue generating businesses and tax paying citizens. Then there's no one to pick up the tab. De-fund police = communism supported by George Soros

I hope they serve milk & cookies and provide a warm snuggy during the session.
