It
can
also
be
found
on
phl
councils.
Calm,
we're
going
to
get
started
now.
I
know
think
the
hours
come
from
when
I
asked
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll
to
take
attendance
members,
obviously,
or
they
indicate
by
saying
present,
but
also
add
in
the
district
work,
to
make
sure
that
your
cell
has
picked
up
mr.
state.
C

A
Excuse
me,
mr.
Decker,
acknowledge
that
you
today,
as
the
for
this
session
I'm
going
to
start
it
despite
the
great
need
we're
not
going
to
have
an
invocation
today.
So
we
will
first
observe
a
very
solemn
prayer
for
our
city's
leaders
and
the
citizen
as
public
health
crisis.
So
when
things
have
a
moment
of
silence,.
A
Thank
you
and
to
further
recognize
the
challenging
times
that
we
find
ourselves
in
you
know.
We
just
would
like
to
acknowledge
everything
that's
going
on.
We
have
been
participants
and
all
aspect
of
it
to
our
citizens
who
all
of
those
who
knows
that
have
been
involved
in
whatever
when
you
had
the
light.
A
I
think
in
this
important
aspect
of
what
happened
as
a
result
of
that
is
that
we
come
out
of
this
stronger,
better,
more
unified,
take
new
for
all
of
the
things
and
write
as
much
as
possible
to
why
that
had
been
done.
I
think
that
if
we
don't
do
that,
the
memory
of
George
Wade
will
be
lost
just
very
concerned
about
the
direction
that
you
could
conceivably
go
in.

B

A

Thank
you
resolution.
You
will
consider
public
comment
Google's
under
normal
circumstances.
Public
comment
must
concern
matters
when
the
secondly
encompasses
calendars
for
possible
action.
A
session
council,
a
speaker
on
any
of
those
matters
must
sign
up.
In
order
to
testify.
You
must
call
to
my
five
six,
eight
six,
three
four,
oh
six
by
5:00
p.m.
today
before
the
session
to
sign
up
for
public
comment.
When
you
call
you
will
take
your
number
and
your
name
and
number
of
your
legislative
item,
you
are
commenting
and
whether
you
are
subdued
against
the
legislation.
A
A
In
order
to
be
fair,
all
those
wishing
to
speak,
please
ask
for
individuals,
so
these
are
here
to
the
time
limit.
We
have
consistently
yet
a
lot
of
individuals
that
are
indicated
an
interest
in
testifying
and
we
encourage
that.
But
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
has
an
opportunity,
so
there
will
be
a
time
timer.
That
will
monitor
your
time.
When
you
hear
the
ringing
of
a
bell,
maybe
a
little
slight.
The
first
rank
will
indicate
that
you
have
30
seconds
to
conclude
your
remark
when
you
hear
the
longer
rank.

Hello,
my
name
is
William
elder
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
Philadelphia's,
2nd
district,
and
you
for
taking
my
comment
today.
Well
I
support
the
spirit
of
resolution,
two
zero
zero,
three
six
to
the
fullest
I'm
calling
today,
because
I
find
the
proposition
that
it
could
be
implemented
in
any
meaningful
way
completely
farcical.
The
events
of
the
last
week
have
reminded
us
once
again,
the
too
many
law
enforcement
officials
across
the
country
are
unable
to
use
their
own
fists,
elbows
and
knees
in
a
manner
that
does
not
infringe
on
individual
civil
liberties.
K
More
often
than
not
african-american
citizens
providing
the
police
department
with
more
military-grade
technology
than
a
amplified
or
simply
just
culver
to
such
biases,
dangerous
and
unnecessary,
and
the
truth
is
resolution
will
not
prevent
its
abuse
and
a
police
culture.
The
too
often
views
itself
at
the
bubble
ball,
particularly
when
replacing
minority
communities
rather
than
adopt.
K
This
resolution
I
call
the
City
Council
to
stand
together
against
the
police
union
in
order
to
demilitarize
the
city's
police
department
to
substantially
reduce
department's
budget
to
ban
the
use
of
facial
recognition
technology
in
any
capacity
to
pretend
to
bring
about
real
reform.
In
our
police
department,
before
we
have
another
tour
as
ice
tragedy
in
Philadelphia,
rather
than
waiting
until
it's
too
late,
the
n-double-a-cp
and
social
activist
array
of
both
offered
for
point.
Please
perform
recommendations
that
turn
to
the
council
to
consider
in
closing
black
lives
matter.
B
G
C
G
A
G
To
express
opposition
to
the
resolution,
but
only
because
I
believe
that
the
trainees
shifted,
I,
deeply
respect
the
foresight
of
council
members,
young
and
the
concerns
of
other
shares
for
our
several
liberties,
but
this
resolution
was
introduced
in
March
and,
although
everyone
who
is
listening
to
this
call
is
in
different
parts
of
the
city,
I
think,
if
you
look
outside
you'll,
see
that
the
terrain
has
shifted.
The
resolution
is
intelligently
and
perceptively
to
the
automation
of
law
enforcement
tactics
and
is
rightfully
suspicious
of
the
underlying
framework
in
which
facial
recognition
technology
is
being
placed.
G
I
feel
they're
only
a
fact.
Confidence
I
think
the
Philadelphia
is
a
city
of
forward
thinkers
and
activists
and
aerosol
luminaries
like
the
boys,
and
we
should
withdraw
this
resolution
and
we
introduce
another
as
soon
as
possible
to
call
for
a
moratorium
on
facial
recognition,
usage
by
law
enforcement
until
such
a
time
as
regulations
are
written
by
a
civilian-led
body
and
implemented.
G
G
A
moratorium
is
a
moderate
assertion,
given
what
is
going
on
and
given
the
conduct
that
we
have
seen,
compare
paying
attention
and
people
want
to
gain
want
to
know
that
you'll
protect
us.
We
can't
be
what
I,
so
we
can't
be
laissez-faire.
This
issue
touches
all
aspects
of
our
lives
and
divest.
Its
regulation
in
the
Roundhouse
and
in
federal
le
o--'s
is
not
something
that
this
council
with
the
leaders
that
it
has
should
allow.
Algorithms
that
run
to
this
city
should
be
made
to
work,
for
the
people
should
be
told
by
the
people.
G
You
can't
eliminate
bias
in
code
because
someone
has
to
code,
but
you
can
control
bias
and
you
can
lay
a
foundation
as
by
its
cross.
I
urged
the
council
only
to
withdraw
its
resolution
and
return
quickly,
with
a
stronger
stance
on
fish
way
to
make
a
Philadelphia
light
and
just
start
working
with
Street
were
a
lot
of
it
and
a
lot
of
the
dishonesty
that
we
have
seen.
A
Because
something
briefly
earlier
so
I
say
to
the
individuals
that
are
going
to
be
speaking,
this
is
a
public
meeting
in
a
public
meeting
is
being
required
so
because
the
meeting
is
public
participants
and
viewers
have
no
reasonable
expectation
of
privacy.
So
by
continuing
to
be
in
the
meeting,
you're
consenting
to
be
recorded.
B
A
E
C
E
E
We
are
supporting
you
in
trying
to
take
that
brave,
stand
right
now
and
thinking
deeply
about
your
commitment
to
your
neighborhoods
and
how
coming
out
of
this
extraordinary
moment
in
history,
I'mjust
crisis,
we
can
transform
them
by
doing
what
the
city
of
Los
Angeles
did
last
night
and
taking
money
that
is
you're
not
before
the
police,
including
it
instead
into
communities.
Even
though
some
of
the
resources
are
tied
up
in
contracts,
there
are
over
700
million
dollars
extra
in
that
budget
that
are
not
necessarily
tied
up
in
contracts.
E
That
can
be
reinvested
as
the
movement
for
black
lives
and
has
thousands
upon
thousands
of
people
and
new
nationwide
are
saying
I'm
grateful
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
I
know
you
will
be
hearing
from
many
more
people
and
finally,
I
would
say
that
the
budget
session
for
public
testimony
that
you
have
open
on
June
9th
is
already
full.
H
President
I
truly
appreciate
the
comments
and
insights
of
the
public
about
the
resolution
dealing
with
the
use
of
facial
recognition,
but
intent
of
that
resolution
is
not
to
promote
further
the
use
of
facial
recognition
technology,
but
to
discover
if
we
are
indeed
utilizing
it
and
how.
So
if
there
is
a
misunderstanding,
while
we
are
having
a
hearing
to
open
up
to
the
public
to
be
transparent,
about
city
resources
being
used
for
that,
I
wanted
to
put
that
on
the
record.
Mr.
president,
thank
you.
K
C
A
K
Albright
I'm
a
PhD
student
at
Joseph,
Lee
University
I've
worked
with
some
colleagues
in
the
SPS
Technology
Studies
department,
talking
about
issues
of
surveillance
and
facial
recognition
and
all
the
literature
I've
read,
and
what
I've
seen
shows
that
this
technology
once
it's
used,
it's
really
hard
to
rollback.
It
leads
to
lots
of
civil
rights
issues,
lots
of
things
that
just
create
more
problems
of
itself,
so
I
would
encourage
the
council
to
vote
against
this
bill.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
K
K
K
I
understand
that
the
use
of
facial
recognition
technology
right
now
is
not
widely
known,
and
that
is
also
very
concerning
to
me
that
I
think
right
now.
Council
is
in
a
great
position
to
use
this
revolution
to
call
on
the
mayor
to
actually
just
bend
and
its
use
on
throughout
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
because
in
reality,
if
we
are
asking
for
the
city,
I
mean
for
the
state
and
for
the
federal
government
to
provide
the
policy
on
facial
recognition.
K
Technology
I
feel
that
that
deeper,
that
only
legitimizes
its
use
and
you
don't
need
to
be
parsing.
We
don't
need
to
be
figuring
out
like
how
it
can
be
used
safely.
You
need
to
just
burn
it
and
definitely
so
that
you
can
protect
our
First
Amendment
rights
right,
because
we
look
at
Ferguson
everything
everything
coming
out
of
Ferguson
and
as
of
eight
now,
six
people,
six
organizers
that
were
present
in
the
Ferguson
uprising,
had
been
murdered.
K
And
so
you
know,
we
know
that
there's
a
long
history
of
police
surveillance
of
black
movements
and
of
black
people,
and
so
as
council
wants
to
show
solidarity
for
the
moment
that
we
were
in
nationally.
They
should
use
this
moment
to
be
on
the
right
side
of
history
and
and
do
the
right
thing
in
that
moment,
which
is
calling
on
the
mayor
to
to
ban
the
use
of
facial
recognition
by
executive
order.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
my
testimony
and
I
hope
council
can
make
the
right
decision.
Thank
you.
C
C
K
A
K
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Phil
Knifer
I'm
calling
to
adjust
to
build
two
zero
zero,
two
six
seven
and
the
use
and
funding
of
facial
recognition
technology
by
the
Philadelphia
Police
I
I'm,
pretty
afraid
that
such
technology
will
negatively
affect
for
local
populations,
especially
black
men
and
women,
especially
after
how
horribly
the
police
have
acted
and
last
week
in
response
to
protests.
I
also
oppose
this
bill,
since
it
would
seem
to
pull
resources
away
from
areas
like
education
and
public
health.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
B
K
In
addition,
I
think
a
facial
recognition
tool
will
be
used
to
violate
our
First
Amendment
rights,
even
if
it's
done
inadvertently,
no
matter
how
clear
boundaries
and
transparent
policies,
how
many
clear
boundaries
and
transparent
policies
you
try
to
establish
regarding
the
use
of
facial
recognition
technology,
you
can't
overcome
the
bigotry
and
racism
that
lies
in
the
human
heart.
This
is
not
the
time
to
implement
this
policy
and
during
this
will
only
guarantee
a
state
endorse
genocide
of
black
and
brown
people
in
our
community
and
in
our
city.
K
K
A
G
G
You,
okay,
great!
Thank
you.
My
name
is
dr.
Oliver,
Harris,
I'm,
a
resident
of
fish
town
and
I
hold
a
doctorate
in
chemical
and
biological
engineering
from
Drexel
University
I
am
against
any
resolution
that
allows
for
the
use
of
facial
recognition,
software
by
the
Philadelphia
Police
or
any
other
department
within
the
Philadelphia
City
structure.
We
all
have
a
lot
to
do
today
to
take
care
of
ourselves.
Our
Delphine's
so
I'll
make
this
as
quick
as
I.
G
Can
you've
already
heard
from
many
other
concerns
Philadelphians
about
all
of
the
various
inadequacies
in
any
sort
of
regulation
of
the
software.
So
I'm
only
going
to
highlight
what
I
think
is
salient
here:
every
single
first
amendment
advocacy
group,
civil
rights
groups,
civil
religious
what-have-you,
is
emailing
opposed
to
using
this
technology,
but
police
departments.
You
should
consider
they
already
published
positions
by
the
Electronic
Frontier
Foundation
and
the
American
Civil
Liberties
ACLU.
G
You've
already
heard
that
several
cities
have
already
banned
this
to
use,
including
Cambridge,
Massachusetts,
San,
Francisco
and,
in
fact,
I
wanted
to
draw
attention
to
the
specific
technology
being
considered
here.
Clearview
AI
that
Philly
PD,
piloted
in
November
New
Jersey
as
a
state,
has
already
bend
this
technology
from
being
used
by
his
police
departments.
So
now,
I
want
to
focus
on
this
current
moment.
Well,
other
other
Philadelphians
have
already
told
you
the
way
that
certain
surveillance
technologies
exacerbate
pre-existing
racial
bias
in
policing.
G
News
outlets
like
Wired,
Gizmodo,
Fox
and
BuzzFeed
have
all
documented
that
these
technologies
fail
to
distinguish
between
facial
features
of
black
people,
which
invariably
to
disproportionately
high
false
positives
for
black
people.
Even
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
and
a
National
Institute
of
Standards
and
Technology
NIST
have
published
results
documenting
the
abject
failure
of
this
technology,
the
epidural
officially,
and
this
time
where
everyone
is
wearing
masks
to
protect
public
health,
we
were
are
going
to
endowed.
We
see
spikes
in
misidentifications
from
this
technologies
use.
G
Finally,
I
submit
that
the
entire
enterprise
of
predictive
policing
has
been
widely
denounced
as
an
inherently
racist
approach
to
public
safety
and
must
be
dismantled
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
people
of
this
city.
Now,
I
want
to
focus
on
a
specific
department
in
question.
Last
year
we
learned
that
hundreds
of
officers
within
Philly
PD
were
active
members
and
baseless
Facebookers
to
Jewish.
G
Former
officers
are
suing
the
department
over
the
discrimination
they
faced
and
there's
even
an
officer
who
is
rehired
by
the
department
officer's
abdomen
with
a
vivid
annatee
tattoo
that
continues
to
go
viral
worldwide
week
after
week.
So
do
you
honestly
believe
that
Philadelphians
are
going
to
feel
safe
with
these
same
racist
officers,
getting
funds
better
access
to
more
invasive
tools
to
terrorize
our
communities
at
a
time
when
trust
between
the
people
in
the
police
is
at
the
lowest
point
in
anyone's
living
memory
and
when
every
fear
of
Elkin
is
hurting
for
real
change?
G
We
all
have
an
opportunity
here
to
do
the
right
thing
right
now.
This
very
same
department
is
being
documented
every
day
infringing
on
civil
liberties,
breaking
international
laws
governing
use
of
chemical
weapons
on
civilians
and
showing
disregard
for
the
life
and
safety
of
Philadelphians.
Is
this
the
legacy
that
you
want
to
be
known?
Enabling
more
of
this
you
can
get
out
in
front
of
this?
You
can
leave
cities
nationwide
and
defending
your
constituents
from
the
inherent
violence
of
facial
recognition,
software
yeah.
G
You
can
cower
to
the
police,
who
already
face
no
accountability
for
their
wrongdoings
and
likely
would
never
face
any
consequences
if
their
violence
can
be
blamed
on
a
simple
algorithm
malfunction
to
be
clear,
anything
less
than
an
outright
ban
is
enabling
the
next
George
played
to
happen
here,
and
we
cannot
allow
that
black
lives
matter
act
now
for
a
stand
down.
I
yield
my
time.
Thank.
H
H
The
intention
of
the
resolution
was
to
find
out
where
they
are
actually
using
that
technology
unbeknownst
to
City,
Council
and
I
appreciate
the
advocates
who
are
bringing
this
strong
opposition
to
our
attention,
but
again
for
further
clarification.
That
was
not
our
intention.
We
want
to
be
informed
about
when
and
where
this
type
of
technology
is
being
used
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
for
what
purpose
so
I'm
going
forward.
A
C
A
A
C
G
L
B
L
People
are
black,
communities
are
crying
out
for
help
in
safety,
for
housing,
for
education,
for
employment
for
respect,
we
can't
afford
to
keep
funding,
weapons
and
technology
for
the
police
to
be
able
to
use
on
black
life.
The
belief
has
been
traumatized
in
our
community
for
investing
in
technology.
L
L
Well
sorry
about
the
people
who
will
use
this
technology,
but
right
now
with
my
kids
coming
from
grocery
shopping,
we've
all
had
on
our
mouth,
but
you
know
kids,
they
want
they
kids
over
smart
to
keep
his
mask
on
the
bus
driver
stopped
and
called
the
cops
on
us.
I
was
extremely
hurt
and
didn't
know
what
to
do.
We
were
far
from
home
and
when
the
cops
didn't
want
any
trouble.
K
L
A
C
A
C
A
H
Resolution
number
two:
zero
zero
to
the
one.
Seven,
it's
important
in
today's
climate
that
we
at
least
listen
and
hear
each
other's
concerns.
Facts
not
fiction
or
fears,
should
rule
public
policy.
So
I
want
to
say
this
resolution
is
in
intention
was
to
look
at
where
we
are
currently
using
this
type
of
technology,
whether
it's
at
airports,
when
people
are
going
through
terminals
to
be
identified,
whether
it
is
that
our
Didache
are
down
in
South
Philly,
where
they
are,
maybe
maybe
using
it
to
identify
people
in
our
streets.
H
The
point
of
the
resolution
was,
we
don't
know
how
they
are
using
it
and
we
wanted
to
clarify
how
it
is
being
used,
but
I
would
like
to
offer
the
withdraw
of
our
resolution
number
two
to
one
seven,
because
we
should
hear
advocacy.
I
will
simply
ask
these
questions
during
budget
hearings
to
ask
the
Commissioner
in
the
police
department
how
we're
using
this
type
of
technology
and
if
we
should
be
using
it
at
all.
So
this
day,
I
moved
for
the
withdraw
of
resolution.
Two
zero
zero,
two
one,
seven
mr.
B
Title
resolution:
two:
zero
zero
to
sixty
seven
and
tentative
resolution,
calling
on
the
Philadelphia
Police
Department,
as
well
as
state
and
federal
law
enforcement
officials
to
establish
clear
boundaries
and
issue
transparent
policies
regarding
use
of
facial
recognition
technology
to
ensure
that
this
technology
does
not
lead
to
racial
biases
in
policing
practices
and
outcomes
or
infringe
on
individuals.
Civil
liberties.
H
H
So
with
that
spirit,
we
withdrew
this
bill
I'm,
going
to
simply
ask
the
question
in
the
hearings
we're
pleased
to
find
out
what
the
boundaries
are
and
whether
that
technology
should
be
used.
So
I'm
thankful
for
the
advocates
to
express
themselves,
but
it's
better
for
us
to
communicate
to
get
better
understanding
about
each
other's
intentions.
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
Thank.
A
H
Thank
you
very
much
council
president
and
thank
you
majority
leader
briefly
understood.
Nothing
speaks
louder
than
the
video
of
George
Floyd
that
vide
has
been
seen
around
the
world.
That
was
a
bad
police
officer,
surrounded
by
other
negligent
and
and
other
bad
police
officers.
That
was
in
Minneapolis.
We
have
our
issues
in
Philadelphia
and
and
no
one
knows
that
better
than
all
of
us
here
and
those
in
our
law
enforcement
community
reads
the
police.
There
are
158
murders.
As
of
today.
The
murder
rate
in
Philadelphia
is
up.
21%,
attempted
murder.
H
Possible
murder
through
aggravated
assault
is
up
20%.
So,
yes,
the
very
important
issues
have
been
raised
about
better
policing
and
addressing
inequality
and
and
police
brutality.
All
of
that
is
important,
but
the
people
on
the
front
line
and
yes,
education,
jobs,
but
right
now,
right
today
we
have
been
dealing
with
and
especially
our
District
Council.
H
People
have
been
dealing
with
epidemic
of
murder
in
our
city
and
that
has
to
be
dealt
with
and
we
do
deal
with
that
and
people
need
to
be
protected,
so
the
people
in
the
trenches
on
the
front
line
putting
themselves
at
risk.
Our
our
law
enforcement
and
our
first
responders
and
people
like
Emily,
kazi's
and
Terry
Starks
and
og
bar
and
others
who
go
right
in
there
and
intervene
so
I
want
people
to
understand
that
it's
not
simply
a
matter
of
reducing
the
effectiveness
or
ability
of
the
police.
H
H
In
I
want
to
recognize
two
of
our
members.
All
of
us
have
been
through
a
lot
but
to
opportunity
to
look
at
up
close
and
personal
in
in
crisis
and
pressure
will
either
bus
pipes
or
make
diamonds
to
diamonds?
I
want
to
recognize
our
council
member
and
councilmember
Katherine
Gilmore
Richards
yeah,
both
of
them
I'm
used
to
this
I'm,
used
to
people
being
so
wrong
that
they've
convinced
themselves
they
right,
but
they
are
new
to
this.
H
From
this
way
and
I
watched
bravery
from
member
gordy
a
down
at
52nd
in
Market
Street,
where
she
was
dealing
with
tear
gas
I
know
you
did
not
sign
up
for
that,
but
you
faced
it
down
who
you
represented
the
community
well
and
I.
I
have
to
put
that
on
the
record,
definitely
build
morale.
Richard
said
we
all
know
from
her
staffing
days,
but
in
the
pinna.
When
are
we
in
the
darkest
moments
of
some
of
the
looting?
H
H
president,
I
said
no,
we
not,
and
she
was
disappointed
that
you
know
we
didn't
get
the
bill,
but
the
next
very
next
day
she
had
called
go
on
sorority
and
fraternity
brothers
to
come
out
where
you
joined
us
and
other
members
of
council
joined
us
at
52nd
and
Parkside,
where
that
mall
had
been
decimated
and
had
our
brooms
and
was
cleaning
up.
I
was
proud
of
all
of
our
members
that
showed
up
for
that.
H
But
I
was
very
proud
of
our
new
members
that
stepped
up
to
the
plate
in
a
time
of
crisis,
did
not
break
and
were
credits
to
this
body,
so
I
wanted
to
recognize
them
publicly.
I
expect
that
from
you,
president
Clark
I
expect
that
from
a
leadership
and
and
members
that
are
seasoned
veterans,
but
when
the
new
class
steps
up
like
that,
I
want
to
recognize
that
and
thank
you
Pelican
for
our
for
being
members.
D
Wanted
to
say,
I
wanted
to
thank
all
of
the
advocates
who
called
in
today
and
also
all
of
the
people
who
have
been
making
their
voices
heard
across
the
city
on
this
conversation
about
policing
and
what
it
looks
like
in
Adelphia
and
across
the
country.
I
think
you
know
the
removal
of
the
Rizal
statue,
the
removal
of
the
result,
murals
work,
great
symbolic
gestures.
D
Investments
in
safe,
affordable
housing,
our
parks,
our
recreation,
centers,
our
libraries.
Those
are
the
things
that
keep
people
out
of
the
criminal
justice
system.
I.
Think
we've
been
taking
a
very
narrow
view
of
what
public
safety
means
in
this
city
and
I
hope.
We
can
I
hope
that
this
is
a
time
to
expand
that
view,
and
so
I
just
want
to
commend
everyone
that
made
their
voices
heard
today
and
I
want
to
say
to
my
colleagues
that
now
is
a
time
for
us
to
ask
ourselves
if
it
is
equitable.
D
If
for
us
to
be
increased
the
police
budget
by
fourteen
million
dollars,
while
we're
cutting
many
many
things
that
can
really
help
black
and
brown
people
in
this
city,
I
think
I've
been,
you
know,
I
think
most
folks
would
know.
My
answer
to
that,
and-
and
my
answer
to
that
is
no
but
I-
look
forward
to
having
a
discussion
with
my
colleagues
as
this
budget
cycle
goes
on
and
thank
you
so
much.
A
D
Thank
You
councillor
Parker
I
just
wanted
to
make
comments.
Yes,
it's
been
quite
a
week
here
in
Philadelphia.
There's
been
a
lot.
That's
been
said,
there's
been
a
lot,
that's
been
done,
I
think
we
all
broke
up
on
Monday
over
the
weekend,
but
the
culminating
really
on
Monday
and
woke
up
as
if
you
know
just
happened.
D
What
just
happened
in
the
city,
what
happened
in
our
city
and
as
a
lifelong
Philadelphia
I
remember
back
in
the
day
as
they
say
when
my
mother
told
me
about
Ridge
Avenue
and
she
talked
about
the
civil
rights
movement
in
Philadelphia
and
the
damage
that
was
done
to
reach
Avenue.
This
way
a
lot
of
african-american
shops
and
businesses-
and
you
know
the
damage
that
was
done-
that
has
never
been
repaired
to
this
day,
never
been
repaired
and
so
I
am.
You
know
just
glad
that
we
recognized
that
people
are
frustrated.
D
The
long
past
lines
as
well
I
just
think
that
that's
something
that
never
shouldn't
have
been
pointed
in
the
first
place
and
I
understand
that
there
was
an
apology,
but
the
apology
is,
after
the
fact
and
and
again
after
the
fact
that
the
damage
is
done
in
terms
of
where
you
really
stand
on
this
issue.
Buildings,
don't
matter
when
it
comes
to
lies,
lives
matter.
First,
you
have
to
get
your
priorities
straight.
So
I
just
thought
wanted.
Speak
out
on
that,
mr.
president,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
F
Recognizing
my
colleagues
folks
in
Council,
where
I've
been
on
the
ground
with
the
last
couple
days
and
everybody
you
know
when
you're
doing
this
work
or
there's
not
a
lot
of
time
to
to
post
on
social
media
and
to
communicate
to
the
public
was
born
on
so
I
know
myself
in
councilmember
Parker
as
well
as
councilmember
Brooks.
We
spend
multiple
days
cleaning
up
areas
and
also
helping
to
avoid
confrontations.
F
Councilmember
Podrick
knows
exactly
what
I'm
talking
about
and
I
appreciate,
her
being
so
courageous
as
well
as
councilmember
Greg
Green
who's
been
out
there
with
this
cleaning
and
taking
care
of
the
flesh
section
of
the
city
as
well
as
council
member
bass,
ke
I've
worked
with
I've,
been
in
the
streets
with
delivering
food
and
helping
people
in
their
time
of
need.
I
appreciate
as
a
freshman
member
of
council.
F
You
know
I
think
that
it's
important
get
home
take
a
minute
to
say
that
I
and
I'm
going
to
take
my
council
hat
off
for
a
second
and
just
put
on
my
humanity
head.
You
know
I
came
into
council
as
the
person
who
is
very
prophetic
literally,
and
so
when
I
think
about
what
I'm
like
man,
I'm
gonna,
come
in
and
counsel,
then
you
know
we're
gonna,
really
wreck
things.
I'm
gonna
make
sure
that
the
black
agenda
is
there.
I
have
been
overwhelmed
in
overjoyed
by
my.
F
Black
people
coronavirus
the
wrong
coronavirus,
prefer
that
unfortunately
tragedy
that
we're
facing
right
now
with
brother
Jones
and
even
born
this
time.
Right
now
and
again,
I'm
taking
my
council
head
off
now,
I'm
one
of
the
few
people
on
council
description,
not
see
these
images
and
I
see
things
that
happen.
I
see
myself
in
it
and
I
hear
the
pain
for
my
colleagues
who
also
not
some
of
them,
see
themselves
or
see
their
children,
their
grandchildren
their
eyes
their
uncle
their
cousin.
F
We
throw
that
and
we've
been
doing
that
advocacy
before
it
was
the
cool
thing
to
do.
Prior
to
all
this
stuff
happening.
Council
had
already
talked
about
what
police
reform
looks
like
now.
Now
we
have
an
opportunity
to
really
lose
ones
to
me.
Those
things
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there,
because
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
questioning
the
integrity
of
Liberty,
Council.
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
questioning
whether
or
not
we
are
really
for
people
of
color.
F
Whether
or
not
you
really
want
to
see
change
in
Philadelphia
for
people
of
color
as
a
young,
black
man
who
has
been
pulled
over
by
looters
knows
what,
if
I
feel
like
to
have
your
hand
and
put
down
your
pants,
you
know
first
hand
crack
that
I
had
to
call
you
last
year.
They
helped
me
out
with
an
incident
involving
police.
He
was
right
here
to
help
me
out,
we
oversee,
and
we
recognize
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
police
reforms
a
little
bit
an
advocate
for
that.
Just
like
we've
been
doing
I'm.
F
Sorry,
council,
president
I
know
a
lot
of
rumors
out
there
in
Miss
information
that
been
communicated.
That's
not
accurate
and
reflected
with
the
work
that
the
body
has
been
doing
and,
for
me,
I
know
images,
but
imagine
how
much
more
the
pain
is
when
people
tell
us
that
we
not
footage
when
we've
been
fighting
for
this.
Imagine
my
pain
when
I
got
to
deal
with
that
kiss
the
images,
but
now
people
saying
that
look
people
telling
us
what
we
know
about
when
I
ran
for
this
issue.
F
This
is
why
I'm
here
at
the
table
is
to
be
able
to
have
a
chance
to
fight
for
this
issue
and
communicate
our
concern
and
I
know
that
there
are
people
in
our
city,
council
or
just
and
passionately,
if
not
more
passionate
as
men,
as
well
as
the
people
who
are
marching
in
the
streets,
the
folks
who
are
in
the
streets
you're
doing
it
your
way,
and
we
respect
that.
But
there
cannot
be
changed
without
change
and
legislation,
and
we
are
all
sacrificing
to
be
here
to
make
sure
that
their
legislative
change
can
take
place.
A
C
C
Thank
you.
We've
had
a
very
difficult
week
here
in
the
city
in
our
state
and
our
nation
and
I
received
a
number
of
calls
from
people
and
text
messages
asking
how
can
I
help?
What
can
I
do
to
help
deal
with
this
issue,
and
so
I
took
a
moment
to
think
about
that
question
and
my
response
to
that
question
is:
are
you
committed
to
making
lasting
change
in
the
african-american
community,
but
there
Derek
I've,
marched
killing
of
George
Floyd
and
the
concern
regarding
Brianna
Taylor
and
Arman
arbre
and
I?
Thank
you
for
that.
C
But
my
question
is:
are
you
committed
to
making
less
and
change
in
the
aftermath
and
community
and
Bill's
a
Derek
why
I
joined
others
to
call
the
removal
to
bridge
no
statue
and
I
said
emails
are
gone,
the
mayor's
budget
proposal
and
I.
Thank
you
for
the
advocacy,
but
are
you
committed
to
making
lasting
change
in
the
african-american
community
but
Derek,
and
this
came
up
and
council
member
banas
I
thank
her
for
making
that
point
now
people
said
I
called
Enquirer
regarding
their
sensitive
article
entitled
buildings
matter.
Thank
you
for
that.
C
J
J
Thank
you.
It
was
a
black
background
noise,
then
I
apologize
and
we
know
as
we
work
through
this
together.
We
store
so
much
to
learn
and
I
think
sometimes
when
you're
elected
official-
and
you
think
you
know
everything
and
you
and
you're
out
there
making
decisions
and
doing
things
and
obviously
we
have
to
start
by
listening.
I.
Think
one
thing
we
do
sometimes
is
we
react
and
we
say
things
and
do
things
without
listening
and
I.
Think
if
we
learn
anything
from
what
happened
over
the
last
week
is
to
take
our
time.
J
We
could
really
make
this
happen
and
we
can
make
it
happen
and
people
could
see
it
and
they
can
hold
us
accountable
for
that
and
they'd
be
able
to
go
through
those
ballot
boxes
and
they
could
vote
and
I.
Think
that's
the
most
important
thing.
If
we
don't
do
that,
then
they
should
vote
for
somebody
else
and
they
should
hold
us
accountable
for
our
decisions
and
you
rather
as
affordable.
Housing
is
the
money
for
our
housing
trust
fund.
Is
it
access
to
jobs?
J
Is
it
raising
them
wage
all
the
things
that
we
could
do
a
city
council
so
bringing
to
lift
the
lift
people
up
so
that
they
become
self-sufficient?
It's
something
we
need
to
do
and
then,
and
sometimes
you
know,
we
talk
a
lot
and
we
don't
listen,
and
maybe
we
should
be
quiet
for
a
little
while
and
continue
to
listen
and
then
come
up
with
a
plan
that
really
works
and
I
believe
if
we
do
that,
we'll
get
through
this
together
and
we'll
be
stronger
and
we'll
be
a
better
City.
So
thank
you.
Thank.

The
power
of
the
people
is
greater
than
two
people
in
power
and,
as
we
see
the
activity
taking
place
across
the
nation,
with
people
from
all
walks
of
life
expressing
their
outrage
and
concern
regarding
the
deaths
and
murders
that
we
don't
call
it
what
it
is,
the
murders
of
George
Floyd
I'm
on
my
offeree
Brianna
Taylor,
and
just
for
the
record,
all
of
those
names
of
people
who
we
don't
know
because
their
stories
did
not
make
it
into
the
main
mainstream
media.
We
see
that
activity,
but
I
have
to
say
this
for
the
record.
I
Councilman
Green.
Thank
you.
So
very
much
for
your
argument
about
the
economic
impact
because
to
the
black
community,
the
african-american
community.
I
am
pleased
to
see
so
many
people
from
all
walks
of
life
in
our
nation,
in
particularly
our
city,
stand
up
to
talk
about
the
police
reforms
that
we
need
and
I
do
think
we
will
achieve
them,
but
even
more
than
that,
if
we're
truly
interested
in
closing
of
the
gap
between
the
haves
and
the
have-nots
and
given
african-american
people
black
people,
access
to
what
councilman
fuller
called
the
opportunity
to
achieve
self-sufficiency.
I
But
when
it
comes
time
to
talk
about
dividing,
sometimes
the
voices
to
win
do
so
working
with
each
and
every
one
of
you,
my
colleagues,
to
do
what
we
do
in
our
space,
and
that
is
the
proper
legislative
initiatives
that
will
help
us
do
exactly
what
we
just
described
and
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
I
mean
is
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
All
17
of
you
are
doing
your
best
and
continue
to
move
forward
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
access
to
opportunities
for
all
philadelphians
and
I'm.
A
The
simple
reality
is:
is
that
council
members
are
people
want
to
see
us
be
involved
in
things?
That
may
just
be
symbolic
for
the
sole
purpose
of
giving
people
symbolism,
because
there's
some
instances.
Symbolism
is
a
good
thing.
It
shows
people
what's
what
you're
about
some
instance
is
being
involved
in
action.
B-Day
protests,
it's
a
good
thing.
A
You
know,
and
members
do
get
involved
in
those
issues,
but
as
elected
officials
we're
charged
with
something
else
and
we're
charged
with
ensuring
that
everything
all
these
council
members
talked
about
today
is
delivering
the
resources
to
the
people
that
need.
We
have
to
make
difficult
decisions
in
this
particular
time,
given
our
fiscal
situation,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
as
those
difficult
decisions
get
made,
we
can't
forget
what
we're
about
and
we've
moved
forward
on
a
number
of
very
important
initiative
that
will
address
those
people
before
the
colvett
hit
us.
A
But
we
can't
give
up
on
that
particular
issue.
We
got
to
proceed
tomorrow
tomorrow
and
it
will
be
some
sort
of
an
announcement
today
put
out
a.
We
will
be
laying
out
a
program
that
addresses
in
a
substantive
way
and
an
initiative
that
we
think
will
be
a
down
payment,
so
to
speak
on
what
we
will
be
doing
tangible
commitments,
as
relates
to
making
sure
that
we
address
the
ills.
Some
will
be
legislative,
some
will
be
budgetary,
our
Sun
will
be
laying
out
leadership
in
terms
of
moving
forward
of.
A
There
will
be
a
conversation
and
a
partnership
with
all
members
of
government
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
can't
do
it
alone
right.
There
are
several
branches
of
government,
both
executive
and
legislative.
We
got
to
work
together
and
what
I
don't
want
us
to
see?
I,
please
do
not
let
people
divide
us,
we
already
have
one
person,
that's
doing
that.
You
know
and
that's
the
strategy
and
it's
all
political
right.
A
We
cannot
let
people
divide
us
unify,
we
can
go
to
wherever
you
want
to
go
and
I
genuinely
believe
that
as
a
person
and
a
member
has
been
around
through
a
lot
of
different
event,
administrations,
a
lot
of
different
challenges.
If
we
work
together,
we
stay
together.
We
stay
focused
on
the
prize
and
the
prize
is
making
sure
that
everybody
has
an
opportunity.
I
mean
everybody
right.
