Community members raised concerns about de-escalation practices, police brutality and police response to mental health crises. There was a joint panel of advocates and law enforcement who say they’re committed to having a safer community for everyone.

"We’ll be coming out with a 100-day report actually in the very near future, by the end of the month hopefully we’ll have that completed. Really outlining what we’ve accomplished in those first 100 days during this transition. But I think it’s really important rebuilding that trust with the community," said Johnson.

Questions were submitted in advance from the community and the moderator from San Jose Spotlight asked about the impact of police brutality caught on video. "I think that we are deeply overwhelmed and if we continue to watch, we have to consider the psychological harm that comes to us," said Derrick Sanderlin, with Sacred Heart Community Services.

As issues of police brutality and police shootings were discussed, some solutions were also proposed including decriminalizing homelessness, sustained investment in community building and de-escalation training. Still, the panelists agreed that our society overall has become more violent, threatening everyone’s safety."You see violent images, and it’s not just police, it is across the board.

San Jose's police chief and San Jose Police Officer's Association were invited to the panel, but they did not attend tonight's meeting. KTVU contacted them both, but they didn't respond in time for this report.that I have read and agree

How the hell is the community of San Jose going to trust the police if they don’t participate in community forums?
