A few days ago a local San Jose Metro Newspaper (San Jose Inside) reported on a letter by San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo "blasting" campaign promises by president-elect Donald Trump. Mayor Liccardo made promises to protect residents of San Jose from Trump's policies, mostly relating to immigration. Mayor Liccardo made two promises in that letter that really got my blood boiling. He stated: We will Not Tolerate "Hate Crimes" in San Jose and We Will Protect the Constitutional Rights of San Jose Residents. Mayor Liccardo makes these vows as he and the City Council are covering up bigoted, retaliatory and hateful acts against me by the City Attorney's Office and three former police administrators. These City officials flagrantly violated my constitutional rights. Mayor Liccardo and the City Council refused to investigate my complaints against these bigoted officials as is required by state law and city policy. The letter by Mayor Liccardo shows that he has no integrity, and that he is is a big hypocrite. Here is the link for the article from SJI that contains Mayor LIccardo's letter.

The citizens of San Jose should be less concerned about what
Trump might do as president and more concerned about the corrupt elected
officials over at City Hall. A few months ago I posted comments on SJI regarding
a cheating scandal involving the City Attorney's Office and the federal courts
relative to a lawsuit I filed against the City for civil rights violations.
This scandal is for real. It’s just being covered up by the Mayor and City
Council. SJI and the local media are cowards with no journalistic integrity
because they refuse to inform the public about what's going on. So far, two
attorneys for the City that were assigned to the case are suspiciously no
longer with the City. The federal judge assigned to the case, Ronald M. Whyte,
suddenly retired. As I stated in other social media posts regarding this
matter, I'm black and I lived in the South during Jim Crow. So I know a little
bit about racism and discrimination. The way I have been treated by Mayor
Liccardo and the other City officials involved was flagrantly bigoted and
discriminatory and was done with the intent to inflict emotional distress
because of my race. The letter by Mayor Liccardo supporting diversity and promising
to protect the constitutional rights of the citizens of San Jose is insincere. As
to who is better at protecting my rights, I have more confidence in Donald
Trump than Mayor Liccardo. For Josh Koehn to pretend he is so offended by
Trumps comments while refusing to report on the bigoted and discriminatory
conduct of Mayor Liccardo and the City Council is insulting. See my blog for
