Florida Mayor Sabrina Javellana on SWAT Team Resignations
"And I was disappointed and I was shocked when I saw the letter on Friday but i think it just resonates with what we're seeing nationally. I think our officers, one of them believes the newly elected police union chief happened in Buffalo, New York with the officers who resigned and on the ground. The police chief has been very community minded and truthfully, she was standing in solidarity with me. That was not true. The chief and several officers kneeled in the protest led by community members, northwest community resident whose organized this in support of a man killed by the S.W.A.T. In 2014. Many were his neighbors, his friends and family members. His sister there and we embraced. I told her we're going to remember Howard and that's what this letter was about. That no officers were charged in the case. That we truthfully believe he was wrongfully killed. And there is no accountability or justice."
