"Our emergency resources are dedicated to protecting public health and safety, but we do not have enough healthcare resources to fight both these battles," Garcetti and the other mayors wrote in a letter to Congress. "We need our healthcare resources to combat COVID-19, and we need specific resources to tackle gun violence and support the frontline workers and organizations who are already working to do so."

"While combating the virus is a top priority, gun violence and gun deaths continue to claim lives and devastate communities," the mayors wrote. "Despite social distancing and stay-at-home orders, gun violence rates remain persistently high in cities."

Then get this.

"The best way to stop a bullet is with jobs and programs, not with more policing," Garcetti said.
