Published | Video Starts at 04:19

We have the families in Goodyear with the families of the cyclists. You know, she just sent a letter declining prosecution and sending it down to misdemeanor court. Likewise, In Avondale, you know, there was a young man that was shot in the back, and, again, she just sent a letter to the family saying, we're not gonna prosecute. So, again, we need to. Even if there was justification to not prosecute a case, you need to sit down with those families and have those discussions with the family, as opposed to just sending a form letter saying, I'm not gonna prosecute your case. (04:19–04:27)
