Hello Supporters,
We’re almost to 400 signatures! Great work!
I’ve been talking a lot to local Law Enforcement who feel let down by our justice system here in Santa Cruz. Unfortunately, they don’t feel like they can sign this petition for fear of retribution. If you look up Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and the post he made today on Facebook, I think you might get a feeling for what some of our local officers are experiencing. It must be tough to arrest the same people, for the same crimes, over and over again. Especially when you know that all they need is some consequences, or perhaps support from a court-ordered drug treatment program.
Here is an interview from the Sheriff that sounds much like the lawless situation we’re dealing with here.
