To embrace the future and embrace justice. I beg you to please defund the police in this years budget. Save the schools and save the community. Black lives matter. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. I want to echo the voices of the people before me calling to defund, disarm and disband the s. F. P. D. I believe San Francisco. [ inaudible ] in the 736 million budget for s. F. P. D. It is atrocious. It can bow fo can be for homele. [ inaudible ] it is time to abolish s. F. P. D. Black lives matter and black translives matter. I yield my time. Next speaker, please. I live in district 1. I call to fill in gaps. Most overtime hours are not spent doing critical work. Planned events and rent a crop. A little planning over time can be avoided. It should not cost 20 million. From the labor perspective these can be salaried. Over 14 million the city had to pay out to settle lawsuits related to misconduct by s. F. P. D. By law offers came out of the general fund. I am calling to demand you demand and abolish the s. F. P. D. It is not a reason to keep it. I yield my time. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Hello. I am sarah. Resident of district 2. Calling to demand you defund, disarm and disband s. F. P. D. In this years budget and redirect to public health, housing, reparations including black and people of color, trans communities and unhoused. There is a list of identified cuts at defund s. F. P. D. Now. Com. We must reimagine Public Safety for all. The s. F. P. D. Harms black community. Black people make up 5 of the population in San Francisco but 35 of the homeless, 54 of the jails and 40 People Killed by police. If black lives matter house black families not murder. Is budget of 763 million comes at expense of housing and social services that create Public Safety for all. We can all say a lot of pretty words about San Francisco values. The proof is in the budget. The top paid are sheriffs deputies and police officers. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. I am the devil. Thank you police chief scott for the murder patrol guardians of community. I want to reiterate reform. I enjoy the trauma s. F. P. D. Enacts and love the reform angle that they do nothing about it.

I joined this call after attending the board of education trying to stretch the budget of 26 million in cuts. Trying to provide quality education under extraordinary challenging circumstances. Why should s. F. P. D. Get a 43 million increase . What does this say about values. Do the right thing. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. I am sylvia in district 3. I work in education. I demand the funding of the s. F. P. D. Because Police Presence in schools is upholding the present pipeline. You need to educate not criminalize youth. Not only does the Police Presence not belong in schools. They are cut by 26 million. By cutting the budget to give the Police Department millions of dollars. If you could have the city deependend on the s. F. P. D. Defunded not reformed. The funds need to go to healthcare and child care and train social workers, Mental Health and alternative programs to keep the residents of San Francisco safe. I yield my time. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. I am anna. Resident of district 2. As an early child educator i know that the police are not equipped to respond to the needs of children, families and communities. I have seen the first hand the fear in children as young as 2 years old retell harmful interactions with the police. How can supervisors allow 43 million while schools are facing 26 million in cuts . What does this say about values . I demand the San Francisco board of supervisors defund s. F. P. D. And redirect funds towards Public Housing and reparations to black communities to promote wellbeing of the communities. We spunked the communities and refund the communities. I yield my time. Next speaker, please. I live in d4. The only way forward is to defund and disband s. F. P. D. And all police in San Francisco including the sheriff. Abolish in this budget and put these public funds to the community housing, health care, food, child care, transportation and direct support for the marginalized. The 350 million cut will be minimum and take funding back to slightly less than what supervisor proposed would in 2016 which was considered moderate. Criminal justice in the 70s [ inaudible ] are you a white supremacist or part of creating without police. Be bold and listen to the people of San Francisco. Police are trash. Are you going to take the trash out or be garbage, too. I yield my time. Next speaker, please. I am angela. Professor at San Francisco state. I am in district 11.

Our schools are facing cuts. Give me a break. Thank you. Next speaker, please. I am appointed by the board of supervisors. I help coordinate efforts for incarceration something that is near and dear to me by a personal experience. I am speaking to you as a San Francisco resident and on behalf of the center for human rights that i organized. The truth is that our nations long history of Racial Injustice created a criminal injustice system that targets black and brown and low income communities. The rest of the nation the San Francisco i know has never valued black or brown lives. Decades it has divested from Health Resources in our community and doubled down on funding the harmful systems of policing and incarceration. S. F. P. D. And the sheriff serves no purpose other than to destroy black lives, dreams and futures. We have an opportunity to reckon with this and reinvest in communities. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Hello. I am with. [ inaudible ] i will say this hearing of the supervisors is a bad joke. It is around the Country Police violence and racism. They dare to call a meeting to increase the budget of the San FranciscoPolice Department. We are for defunding 100 the Police Department and abolishing and replacing with community organizations. The supervisor investigate how they claim the cops are still trained on racism. They train new police on the fact the blm is a organization. [ inaudible ] it is the Training Facility showing how Police Department expressed every moment for free speech. Abolish police now. Next speaker, please. Hello. I am nick child in district 6.

Pointed guns at 2. 4 times every day and only 14 of the 868 times in defense of selfor others. Five out of five of the officers who shot marie woods had undergone training.

We have been telling you all afternoon the city relies on transit to be safe. They are expecting 500 million loss of revenue for the transit. Healthcare, black people without housing have no healthcare. Rather than making housing safe, you are considering investing in the spud interested. When i was in the tenderloin i saw them harass the homeless once each month. I urge you to defund s. F. P. D. And put money to house homeless and remove lead paint to make housing safe for all. Defund the police. Next speaker, please. Hello. I am a Student Living in district 11. Fund the police. Yes, increase the budget. San francisco is the leader of property crime in america. I love my city. When i walk down town no matter what time i feel safe when i see a cop. I feel comfortable to walk without having to worry about being a victim of property crime. I am a hispanic. The half of the s. F. P. D. Minorities it is hilarious. I am not the only ones being robbed by thugs and da upholding the criminal, protecting thugs. I demand the board of supervisors of supervisors increase the funding. Next speaker, please. Hi. I am ali aldridge. Defund now. District 5 resident. Thank you for your representation. We are calling abolishment not defunding. I was going to see the stats illustrating the way the Current System of polices is failing the black and brown residents. We have heard the stats. Chief scotts report on reform provided the best case for abolish meant to date. Reform the long, expensive and ineffective in proving longer, more expensive at the expense of Citywide Services more effective at building safe communities. Reform efforts are backwards to look at this. It is time to look at current Public Safety needs and create a brandnew system to meet those needs. Defund and abolish sfpd now. They get 33 million increase while the Public Schools face a 27 million cut. That is obscene
