Public Comment Received Dana Roa From: Randy Caudill Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 12:22 PM To: Norco City Council Subject: Public comments for tonight’s meeting As proud residents of Norco, my wife and I were distressed to read the divisive comments made recently by one of our city council members. While we appreciate the statement released by the whole council, it is important to recognize that Council Member Hoffman’s comments are hurtful to many members of our community and are unacceptable from an elected representative. We support the creation of an action plan that details steps which begin to address issues of race and racism in our town. Thank you for your time. 1 Dana Roa From: Flaxsun Feathers Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 12:53 AM To: Norco City Council Subject: Public Comment for City Council Meeting 06/17/2020 I have grown up, run a business, and worked in Norco for most of my life. Throughout this time I have witnessed many actions of exclusivity--sexism, homophobia, religious prejudice, and racism. For as welcoming and friendly as Norco presents itself to be, I have both witnessed and heard of too many accounts of the items mentioned above, to find Norco as inclusive as it claims to be. Now more than ever, Norco needs to take an active stance against these notions and uphold its promise to be friendly towards ALL who seek a place to ride, work, and live under its name. Black Lives Matter has never been about the exclusion of other lives. It is a plea for help and recognition of the glaring fact that black lives have been, and continue to be, targeted. We cannot allow Norco to be known for something as debase as racism. Unfortunately when you visit the Norco Facebook forums, that is the kind of behavior you will find. Recently a group of 7 white teenaged girls held a small protest on the corner of 6th. Blasted all over the forums, adult citizens threatened their safety and their right to free speech. Others pleaded simply to leave them alone so that "they can post on social media that Norco isn't racist". Sadly, the mere act of this plea, proves that Norco is indeed known for being a racist town. If NASCAR and Wal-Mart can rise above, why can't Norco? -S.M.S. 1 Dana Roa From: Elizabeth Flynn Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 11:35 AM To: Norco City Council Subject: Public Comment - 6.17.20 Dear City Council Members, I would like to voice my disappointment and concern regarding the city of Norco's embarrassingly dismal response to a resident's recent email regarding publicly acknowledging the Black Lives Matter movement and supporting necessary efforts to reform aspects of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Ted Hoffman's racist and dismissive response was not surprising, but was still altogether disappointing. As a resident of Norco since 2000, I know all too well that racism is alive and well in my city. From the Confederate flags with "redneck" printed across them, to the racial slurs explicitly yelled at my family members of other people of color while walking down the street, some of the individual residents of Norco have made it perfectly clear how they feel about people of color existing in "their" white spaces. To have these attitudes so explicitly reflected in the city council's attitudes under the guise of respectability is abhorrent. As elected officials, acknowledging and making an effort to understand the civil unrest surrounding Black Lives Matter is the literal least you can do. As a resident of Norco, I am respectfully calling on all members to: 1. Issue an apology to the Black community in Norco and the entire black community of the Inland Empire; 2. Demonstrate support of the Black community through an action plan that is developed with local Black leaders that addresses systemic racism and includes action items that will also be taken by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department; 3. Require racial bias training for ALL City of Norco employees and elected officials; 4. Hold a city-sponsored listening session where city employees and elected officials allow community members to share their experiences and highlight the issues important to them, with an emphasis on Black community members. Mr. Hoffman, to repeatedly voice "All Lives Matter" a multitude of times in your response reveals a blatant disrespect and intentional misunderstanding of the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as your own Black residents. Though I absolutely do not agree, I do understand if you choose to have these racist opinions on a personal level. However, as an elected official, it is your job and responsibility to represent the best interests of ALL residents, not just white and white-passing residents like myself. Also, by the way, the "B" in Black should always be capitalized. Best regards, Elizabeth Flynn 1 Dana Roa From: Jorge Pacheco Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 6:43 PM To: Norco City Council Subject: Public Comments for City Council Dear City Council Members, I have been a citizen of Norco for the past 10 years. What made me fall in love with this town is all the support that all show to each other, how neighbors are not strangers and how you can count with a helping hand when you need it. But, after reading Council Member Hoffman’s email on racial bias, I started to feel concerned about the pillars that make our town a great place to live and raise families. Speaking openly about racial issues makes many adults uncomfortable, as it clearly happened to Council member Hoffman, but we can't solve a problem if we can't talk about it. Racism thrives in silence and in denial. Racism is a system of unfairness in which people of color and other ethnicities are mistreated needs to stop. As a result, we are calling on Mayor Hanna and all of Norco's Council Members to: 1. Issue an apology to the Black community in Norco and the entire black community of the Inland Empire; 2. Demonstrate support of the Black community through an action plan that is developed with local Black leaders that addresses systemic racism and includes action items that will also be taken by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department; 3. Require racial bias training for ALL City of Norco employees and elected officials; 4. Hold a city-sponsored listening session where city employees and elected officials allow community members to share their experiences and highlight the issues important to them, with an emphasis on Black community members. These steps are particularly crucial because many political and policing leaders in the country continue to deny that systemic racism is a reality and a serious human rights crisis. They might not be enough to eradicate systemic racism, but they would be the steps in the right direction to start upholding human rights. As human beings, and residents of Norco, we should celebrate our differences, which in turn will show that we care about other people and we’re willing to stand with them when treated unfairly. This is what our Norco community is about… I know we care for one another and are far from being a Harrison, Arkansas. Jorge Pacheco 1 Dana Roa From: Curt Knox Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 10:06 PM To: Norco City Council; Curt Knox Subject: City Council - Public Commits Please reconsider your stance on at-large voting. We are in violation of California law which will result in a lawsuit, and you refuse to change, claiming it will disrupt the “Norco lifestyle”. You have already received a letter stating this on October 2nd, 2017 from the law firm Shenkman/Hughes and you refuse to change, claiming it will disrupt the “Norco lifestyle”. You know this law firm has won every case regarding voting rights, and you refuse to change, claiming it will disrupt the “Norco lifestyle”. You know these lawsuits result in a loss of 100's of thousands of dollars from cities that lose the fight, and you refuse to change, claiming it will disrupt the “Norco lifestyle”. You know it takes a supermajority (⅘) vote of City Council to change the horse trails ordinances, and you still refuse to change, claiming it will disrupt the “Norco lifestyle”. You know it takes a supermajority (⅘) vote of the City Council to change the lot size ordinance, and you refuse to change, claiming it will disrupt the “Norco lifestyle”. You know it takes a supermajority (⅘) vote of City Council to change the animal keeping rights ordinance, and you still refuse to change, claiming it will disrupt the “Norco lifestyle” What is this “Norco lifestyle” you're so desperate to perserve? Is this “Norco lifestyle” superior to other lifestyles? Are other “lifestyles” inferior? What makes the “Norco lifestyle” the preferred way to live? Who could possibly be voted in that could threaten the “Norco lifestyle”? Take a long look at yourselves city council members, what are you so afraid of? Curt Knox 1 Dana Roa From: Jules Lemus Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 11:20 PM To: Norco City Council Cc: Berwin Hanna; Kevin Bash; Greg Newton; Ted Hoffman; Robin Grundmeyer Subject: Public Comment for City Council Meeting on 6/17/2020 Dear council members, In a recent email from Council Member Hoffman, he continuously ignores that in our history and in present day, black lives have been treated lesser. He uses the phrase “All Lives Matter” in a context the opposes the black lives matter movement. When saying “All lives matter” in this manner, he completely disregards the pain and suffering of the People of color.

Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C., as part of the AWC Family Foundation Lecture Series. For almost two years, a protest movement known as “Black Lives Matter” has convulsed the nation. Triggered by the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014, the Black Lives Matter movement holds that racist police officers are the greatest threat facing young black men today. This belief has triggered riots, “die-ins,” the murder and attempted murder of police officers, a campaign to eliminate traditional grand jury proceedings when police use lethal force, and a presi- dential task force on policing. Even though the U.S. Justice Department has resoundingly disproven the lie that a pacific Michael Brown was shot in cold blood while trying to surrender, Brown is still Imprimis_April16_8pg.indd 1 4/22/16 11:14 AM HILLSDALE COLLEGE: PURSUING TRUTH • DEFENDING LIBERTY SINCE 1844 APRIL 2016 • VOLUME 45, NUMBER 4 < hillsdale.edu venerated as a martyr.

  • Is Racial Profiling a Legitimate Strategy in the Fight Against Violent Crime?
    Philosophia https://doi.org/10.1007/s11406-018-9945-1 Is Racial Profiling a Legitimate Strategy in the Fight against Violent Crime? Neven Sesardić1 Received: 21 August 2017 /Revised: 15 December 2017 /Accepted: 2 January 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Racial profiling has come under intense public scrutiny especially since the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. This article discusses two questions: (1) whether racial profiling is sometimes rational, and (2) whether it can be morally permissible. It is argued that under certain circumstances the affirmative answer to both questions is justified. Keywords Racial profiling . Discrimination . Police racism . Black lives matter. Bayes’s theorem . Base rate fallacy. Group differences 1 Introduction The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is driven by the belief that the police systematically discriminate against blacks. If such discrimination really occurs, is it necessarily morally unjustified? The question sounds like a provocation. For isn’t it obviously wrong to treat people differently just because they differ with respect to an inconsequential attribute like race or skin color? Indeed, racial profiling does go against Martin Luther King’s dream of a color-blind society where people Bwill not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.^ The key question, however, is whether this ideal is achievable in the real world, as it is today, with some persistent statistical differences between the groups. Figure 1 shows group differences in homicide rates over a 29-year period, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ 2011:3): As we see (the red rectangle), the black/white ratio of the frequency of homicide offenders in these two groups is 7.6 (i.e., 34.4/4.5).
