PSC CIT COMM – AUG 1, 2022 Soy Carlos León. First and foremost, Gracias a Dios for letting me expose APL and APD evil that must be immediately overturned and permanently stopped for our public safety. The supporting evidence in front of you now will be posted online for this meeting. July 19 a Criminal Trespass Notice was wrongly issued to me, banning me from all Austin Public Library properties for one year to unlawfully punish me for lawfully defending myself against repeated harassment by attacking APL staff, security, and customers across multiple branches. My attackers should be banned for violating Library Use Rules, not me for using the library for what it’s intended. APL Director Roosevelt Weeks has NOT rescinded the CTN, making him part of the problem, from the top down. Though I told the Austin Library Commission about this injustice, they have done NOTHING publicly to stop or overturn it. Worse, though the law protects my attendance at their limited public forum meetings, their liason Sharon Herfurth said, “Mr. León will be allowed to attend,” implying I had to be given permission by someone acting above the law, ALIEN to our republic. So I filed a complaint against her with the City Auditor. If APD were called to unlawfully arrest me for lawfully being at that meeting on APL grounds, would the officer listen to, look at, and follow the legal truth I’d be telling and showing, proving I was NOT criminally trespassing? On July 18, Black Male APD Officer Brinson, badge 7694, wrongly REFUSED to force a Black Male CAP METRO bus driver to board and transport me, though that driver was ILLEGALLY discriminating against me by violating my civil rights by NOT stopping for me. Brinson justified his inaction by FALSELY telling me CAP METRO is private. When I tried telling and showing him CAP METRO is public transportation that must serve everyone, he refused to hear or see it. Brinson’s gaslighting, upside-down behavior must NOT exist because it does NOT protect or serve us, violating APD’s LAW ENFORCEMENT CODE OF ETHICS, because an officer’s fundamental duties include respecting the CONSTITUTIONAL rights of ALL to liberty, equality and justice, meaning NO cherrypicking, NO two-tiered system of injustice, NO secular sharia law. Per Article 1 of APD’s CANONS OF POLICE ETHICS, an officer’s primary responsibility is to protect us by upholding our laws, which Brinson failed …
APD’s Response to Protests Presentation to the Public Safety Commission Topics Covered • APD’s policies regarding protests • Tactics used at protests • Arrest policies APD GO 408: Mobile Field Force The activation of a MFF should be considered when dealing with any: 1. Large scale disturbance 2. Disturbance where there is potential for escalation of violence if a large scale show of force is not present. APD GO 408: Mobile Field Force The following personnel have the authority to activate a MFF response: 1. Chief of Police 2. Assistant chiefs 3. Commanders 4. Watch Lieutenant 5. Patrol and support lieutenants APD GO 408: Mobile Field Force The Mobile Field Force (MFF) is an organized group of specially trained and disciplined officers that can vary in size depending on the scale of the situation. The objectives of the MFF are to: a) Life/Safety Incident Stabilization b) c) Property Protection d) Societal Restoration APD GO 408: Mobile Field Force The MFF will be equipped with: • Batons or PR24's (excluding ASPs) • OC spray • Less-lethal shotguns • Helmets with face shields Less-Lethal & Non-Lethal Weapons Less-Lethal: 40mm foam baton launcher ***(APD no longer utilizes the 12 gauge bean bag shotgun during crowd control events)*** Non-Lethal: PepperBall launcher Pepper spray APD GO 408: Mobile Field Force The MFF activation will utilize a tiered response plan: 1. Tier I Response - Two designated officers from each on-duty patrol shift respond to a MFF call up. 2. Tier II Response - Officers from the Highway Enforcement Command (Motors, L&W, and Highway Response) respond to a MFF call up, and they can be supplemented by additional officers from patrol or other Department units Tactics The control strategies employed by the MFF include: a) Emergency Response b) Containment c) Arrest d) Local Emergency Orders Emergency Response A major civil disorder will require the Department to devote a large portion of its resources to restore order. When circumstances indicate that such a response is required, the Incident Commander will announce the mobilization of the MFF and will give the location of the assembly area. All specified personnel will respond to the designated location. Containment The three basic concepts of perimeter control are: 1. Linear Strategy - Deploys police as a blocking force along a roadway or geographic barrier perpendicular to access routes into the area. 2. Cordoning - Surrounds a particular problem area by using the …
