SAN DIEGO (April 28, 2015) Councilmember Alvarez has issued the following statement in response to the San Diego City Councils approval today of the joint settlements against the San Diego Police Department: I did not vote in support of this settlement because this is simply not an issue we can continue to sweep under the rug.
