Veteran urges support for police during Santa Fe Springs public comment
Summary
During public comment, Lee Squire, a Vietnam‑era veteran, urged residents to support police and criticized rhetoric he said had turned against law enforcement.
During the public comment period, Lee Squire, who identified himself as a Vietnam‑era veteran, addressed the council about support for law enforcement. Squire said veterans must defend police and that criticism of law enforcement during the previous four years had fostered hate against officers.
Squire told the council residents should “support our brothers and sisters in blue” and said the children of police should “take pride in your parents.” He concluded by invoking blessings for the nation, veterans and police families.
The comment was the only public testimony recorded during this meeting’s public comment segment on non‑hearing items.
