San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo recently released a nine-point proposal
to revamp the city’s embattled police department. He says the plan
will “reform, not defund the police” while “squarely addressing
nationwide outrage over racial injustice and police brutality”. But
critics of Liccardo’s plan are calling for more significant and
swift changes to the department that was recently marred in a
scandal involving racist behavior by officers. Liccardo joins us to
talk about police reform and other issues facing the city,
including shutdown orders that are dealing a financial blow to many
households and businesses.
