TO: CHIEF DONALD WARSHAW CO.: MIAMI POLICE '.DEPARTMENT
FROM: ALAN.SAVITZ REF:N. MIAMI AVE. (BETWEEN 11TH'1)
AND 1OTH STREET)
DEAR CHIEF WARSHAW:
ENCLOSED IS A COPY OF ALVAH CHAPMAN'S LETTER OF FEBRUARY 26TH WHICH TS
SELF EXPLANATORY. HE IS A FINE MAN DOING A DIFFICULT JOB.
1) PLEASE DRIVE DOWN NORTH MIAMI AVENUE, BETWEEN 11TH AND 10TH STREET,
ANY EVENING AFTER 7PM TO SEE FOR YOURSELF THE PROBLEM!
2) NORTH MIAMI AVENUE IS A HEAVILY TRAVELED STREET ON "HEAT" CAME NIGHTS,
FOR SPECTATORS, TOURISTS, AND SOUTH FLORIDA RESIDENCES.
3) FOR ANYONE TO VISUALLY SEE, WHAT WE ARE ALLOWING, IS A DISCREDIT TO
MIAMI AND ALL MIAMIANS EVERYWHERE! WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF OURSELVES!
4) NOW THERE IS "A PLACE FOR THE HOMELESS TO GO11 (A NEW 5 MILLION DOLLAR
HOMELESS ASSISTANCE CENTER WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE), THERE IS NO RE;SSCG
WHY OUR CITY ORDINANCES SHOULD NOT BE ENFORCED. _
5) I SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING:
a) PHOTO AND/OR VIDEO THE AREA AT NIGHT (EVIDENCE).
b) POST SIGNS AND PASS OUT NICELY WORDED MEMOS TO EACH PERSON THERE
EXPLAINING THE REASONS THEY ARE IN �I.TOLATION OF THE CITY ORDINANCE ,
(EVIDENCE), AND IF.THEY ARE STILL THERE IN 24 HOURS, YOUR OFFICERS
WILL HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT -20 :ARREST THEM.
c) IF ANYONE TAKES THE CITY TO COURT, WE WILL STAND TOGETHER AS
WITNESSES IN FRONT OF THE FEDERAL JUDGE IN SUPPORT OF YOUR ACTIONS.
W:S WILL ASK "ALVAH CHAPMAN" AND OTHERS TO JOIN US.
d) THE KEY HERE IS NOT TO USE BRUTE FORCE, BUT TO BE KIND, GENTLE,
AND PATIENT.
e) I FURTHER SUGGEST "LIVIA GARCIA", "LYNN SUMMERS", ETC. BE PRESENT
(GOOD WITNESSES BEFORE ANY JUDGE). IF YOU NEED ME, I WILL BE THERE
TOO!
6) THE RESULTS HERE WILL BE TWO -FOLD:
a) ELIMINATE AN INHUMANE SITUATION BY ENCOURAGING AND HELPING THE
"HOMELESS" TO ENTER THE "INTAKE CENTER" WHERE THEY WILL HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TURN AROUND THEIR LIVES AND BECOME USEFUL CITIZENS.
b) ELIMINATE THE UNSIGHTLY VISTA OF PEOPLE EATING AND SLEEPING ON
OUR SIDEWALKS WHICH DEGRADES OUR GREAT CITY OF MIAMI AND OURSELVES,
AND CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE OF CRIME FLOURISHING.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS, AND PLEASE TAKE ACTION.
WITH BEST REGARDS- ALAN
