  My name is Luchi Chamblas and uh you guys probably remember me. I'm the one with the broken leg that these uh violent and v vicious guys in uniform behind me decided they needed to kick at the No King's uh uh protest. And I got a little bit kidnapped by them, too. I'm so nervous right now. And I have never been nervous addressing you guys, but I've I've seen my physical therapist and my surgeon since the last time I was here. And you may notice that I don't have crutches or my big boot today um because they authorized me to go anywhere without the boot unless I would be around Memphis police officers. Uh so standing in front of a large group of them, I don't feel very safe. And I think that that is uh the problem in Memphis. I feel safe everywhere I go. I've spent my first five years in Memphis living in Orange Mound. Didn't feel unsafe ever. I never feel unsafe in this city unless there's one of your unformed officers around because they're vicious. They're violent. They don't protect and serve. We know. I mean, we had the federal judge that had to recuse himself from the sentencing in the Tyrie Nichols case said that MPD has been infiltrated all the way to the top with gangsters, drug dealers. We know there's a lot of murderers there. There were murderers on scene. In fact, one of the murderers was the one who initially started shoving me. Uh, I think it was Colonel Penny, Lieutenant Penny, one of them. Why do y'all keep giving them all of our money? We've got schools that are crumbling. We've got public housing that we desperately, desperately need. Our infrastructure is failing. And yet y'all want to keep giving our budget to these people who can't protect, don't want to serve, and have done nothing but murder, rape, literally rape, and pillillage this city. And y'all just increase their budget year after year. My friends here are going to ask you to think about the community, but I'm going to ask you to think about yourself. Is this really the legacy that you want? Do you want to tell your grandchildren that this is what you left them with? Thank you so much, Leandre Ke.
