So today is the day. The Police Board Meeting Agenda has been published, and the VPD report on my complaint has been produced as well.

As a quick TL;DR, I am thoroughly disappointed by the results of the VPD investigation, though I cannot say I am the least bit surprised. Nothing good came out of the investigation report at all -- from my perspective, the VPD denied all allegations using sleazy and/or lamea$$ excuses. As the person who drafted up every single word of the complaint letter, it was infuirating to see my arguments getting shot down by all that BS.

At any rate, the meeting agenda can be found here:

The board meeting is to start at 1pm, and Connor and I are scheduled to present our short speeches from 1:05 to 1:15pm. After that, there is a scheduled 1.5 hrs worth of presentation and community meeting with the Jewish Community Center. My service and policy complaint report does not get discussed until about 3:15pm, so there is quite a bit of a time gap for us between the two parts.

If you are interested, you can find the service & complaint meeting agenda here:

Just know that it is a long and infuriating read.

I want to tell everyone that I thoroughly appreciate your support on this matter. At the same time, in light of the limited floor time that we will receive, and the long wait in between the relevant portions of the meeting, I think it would not be time well-spent for any of us to attend the meeting. (and it would be rude to leave part way through the meeting as soon as our relevant portion is finished). I will obviously stay for the entire duration of the meeting to see the whole thing through, but if any of you is considering to come to attend the Police Board meeting, I'd ask you to consider the wortiness of your time to be spent in such a fruitless and discouraging manner. Ultimately, I'll leave it up to everyone to decide for themselves whether you'd want to attend. I understand there are more meaningful ways to spend a weekday afternoon, and I appreciate your support if you decide to attend nonetheless.

In light of the report, I would like to revise the 5 min speech that I have prepared over the last 2 evenings. But what I'd really need to do is to sit down and digest the report before I can decide how else I can proceed. Quite honestly, the results are very discouraging, and I do not know what other directions can be pursued that could bring meaningful and positive change.
