commissioner dejesus. >> commissioner dejesus: okay. i do have a couple of items. i would ask that a budget presentation be prepared for next week so we're up to date, and i'm assuming that it will include -- i'm sorry, yeah. i'm assuming it will include how the department's proposing to do the budget cut, and i can't remember if it was 15% or 18% or whatever percentage the mayor is asking, so it's under a deadline. they have to go in on june 12, so i'm asking that it be on the june 10 agenda. >> vice president taylor: it will definitely. just so you know, i talked to the chief about it this week, and everything exploded in the world. i made that request of him several days ago, and i was hoping that we'd have at least some interim presentation on it, but situations beyond our control, but it will definitely be on next week. >> commissioner dejesus: okay. i'm glad you did that. since we didn't talk last week, i didn't know where everything was going. okay. on the d.g.o., i know it's not on for action tonight, but this matter has been on since 2017. what i understan

dejesus, we made that request. at that time, you recall there was a critical shortage with hospital workers. >> you made a question and they couldn't provide. i wanted to know if you asked. >> yes, ma'am. and i want to be clear and they worked real hard to get it and the ppe that the city needed and eventually we got what we needed and at that time we weren't there yet. >> i know a lot of calls, too, and i was told the mask had the p.o.a. logo or name on it. and the pictures i can't tell and i can just see the flag and if it didn't have the logo o.p.o.a. on the masks as well? >> yes, it did. >> that is the problem. it is not just the flag which is open for interpretation and is a political party. it is a political union. and i do believe we have guidelines about wearing political stuff during the job. a lot of people recognize the p.o.a. symbol and unfortunately that is offense ifr to many in the communities and the community and the commission and the department and outright hostile and that is what bothers me and

we can hear you. >> commissioner dejesus: all right. so i've just got to follow up on this, and i'll let it go. chief, the bottom line is the way it's reported it he always wore an earrings. he kneeled, and the next day, he was sent home. it's the perception that he kneeled with the community. it's more than that. it's -- the subtlety is that he was being taught a lesson not to stand with the community, but he should stand with the blue line. that's what's going around the community, and that's what is disturbing about this incident. so yeah, the policy's going to be changed, yeah maybe he shouldn't have worn earrings, but what happened was he wore an earring, he always wore an earring, and he was sent home. that goes to the department, that they'll find a way to discipline you if you work with the community and support the community, and that's what everyone's talking about. how do you change the culture is -- is the question, but how do they sustain their culture is by doing extraordinary discipline. because if it was because he kneel
