My name is Jan.
2:30:03
Thank you for the opportunity to speak.
2:30:05
It's heartwarming to hear about the progress that's been made in preventing unjust arrest and unjust conviction.
2:30:13
However, some of the agreements and rules and changes in policy towards police practice and DA practice have resulted in more crime.
2:30:23
And as you so so skillfully and and convinciingly said Mister Salem, convicting people who really do crimes and preventing crime is the other side of keeping people who are wrongfully convicted, not convicted.
2:30:44
I ask of the committee members at this this time of threat to the Jewish community to pursue and protect public safety, allow the NYPD to enforce existing laws.
2:30:58
Enough is enough.
2:30:59
There have to be consequences for breaking the law.
2:31:02
The laws needing to be enforced include, but are not limited to, bias incident laws.
2:31:07
Hate crime and hate speech laws.
2:31:10
Public nuisance laws, civil disorder, inciting others to riot laws, harassment and verbal abuse laws.
2:31:18
Supreme court exceptions to the first amendment, including but not limited to, speech that constitutes unlawful incitement true threats, intimidation, or discriminatory harassment, felony charges for blocking emergency services, domestic terrorist charges, for impeding access to emergency services.
2:31:38
Anti terrorism act 18 US code 2339b providing material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, including suspension of commerce, endangering motorists, and kidnapping in a car that can't move and verbal or physical assaults.

I ask you to support overturning agreements and policies that stop the NYPD from doing their job of protecting minority communities.
