September 29, 2023: Chief Kochis refutes claims of police brutality in Market Street Park incidents

The final Friday of September is upon us and there are 344 days until there is another one. Perhaps the best thing to do is to think about today while also thinking about all of the times that are still waiting in the future. It’s the mission of each edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement to provide a little context of where this community has been, where it is, and where it might go in the future. All while staying, right here. I’m Sean Tubbs. On today’s program:* Albemarle County has three new questionnaires about draft language in their ongoing Comprehensive Plan update* An on-demand microtransit pilot in Albemarle County on October 30 and Albemarle Supervisors got the details earlier this month* Charlottesville Police Chief Michael Kochis addresses the allegation of police brutality in Market St. Park that led to the recent lifting of the park’s closing times  This is a public episode.
