Asked that the armored vehicle purchase be pulled from consent for public input, questioning the need for a half-million-dollar vehicle in a city touted as safe and noting the current one is underutilized.

Supported the armored vehicle, citing the death of Sacramento Officer Tara O'Sullivan, who couldn't be rescued, and saying $500,000 is worth protecting lives.

Argued the $500,000 would save more lives through healthcare and social programs than a hypothetical military-style rescue, opposing police militarization.
