We really want to work with @kwilsonformayor. He said repeatedly on his campaign he supported PSR, and we want to believe him. Sharing proposals that are antithetical to PSR’s
mission breaks that trust. We hope he will back off this proposal and clarify his stance ASAP.
We are deeply disappointed that @kwilsonformayor, without consulting any expertise or PSR responders, has already proposed the end of PSR as we know it by turning them into to an extension of law enforcement. This is unacceptable And we won’t let it happen. More to come. #SavePSR
