From the transcript

Thank you. I would like to thank everybody who showed up tonight and provided testimony, particularly those, um, immediately impacted by police violence. I will not support the motion that's on the floor. I don't believe it's respectful to the dozens of people who have showed up tonight and spoken out and made real requests over many, many months of deliberation. I support Vice Chair Voland's, um, idea of moving to the original version tonight.
