Good morning. All right. Brace yourself. Taking a live look at 680, 242. Traffic nearly stopped in that southbound direction all due to caltrans, they have some overnight roadwork. They should be wrapping it up right about now. But the damage is done. The backup stretches to highway 4 at this point. Youre looking at over an hour commute for drivers making their way from willow pass road on down towards highway 24. That should take less than 10 minutes so thats a big delay. They are reopening the connector ramp to southbound 680 but the big delays are on southbound 242 and southbound 680. So if you can avoid that stretch, use Pleasant Hill road or taylor as your alternate route. And then reconnect with highway 24. 580, we have reports of an accident and thats about a 26 minute ride between 205 and 680. Authorities are now questioning the girlfriend of the gunman behind sundays massacre in las vegas. Federal agents were there to meet Marilou Danley when she arrived from the philippines w

Police commission for the Police Commission to resolve. I not only speak to you as the director of the San Francisco office of citizen complaints but also as a board member of the National Association for civilian oversight of Law Enforcement. Our president Brian Buckner was invited to testify before the president s task force on 21 ftd Century Policing on a segment that dealt with civilian oversight of Law Enforcement. As a result of that testimony and also the testimony of char charlie beck, the l. A. Pd chief and others one of the recommendations from that interim report of the task force is that every Law Enforcement agency should have some form of oversight of Law Enforcement. San francisco has that by charter, but i think sometimes its forgotten that not only does the office of citizen complaints investigate matters which are confidential and protected by the Public Safety officers procedural bill of rights you, but we also make policy recommendations for improvements in the Poli
Do we make change . I can tell you how horrified we were and the reaction in my home but if we dont change it we will experience the same problems. The issues that were facing in San Francisco we have insufficient oversight over the Law Enforcement agencies and dont have a culture of transparency around disciplinary actions and problems that maybe brewing in the multiple agencies that we work with. Number two we dont really have meaningful mechanisms to force reporting of misconduct other than obligations we have under brady to turn over potentially excull pitory information and we have limited information on misconduct in the Police Department or Sheriffs Department or any other, and third theres too little discipline and too little consequence for misconduct here in San Francisco. Its a rare situation that someone is fired for the conduct. There are few cases reported to us for misconduct and the discipline that is meted out is rare, relatively weak and uncertain, so those issues i t

And thank you so much ms. Hicks. Good evening supervisor mar, supervisor cohen and president breed, and i do appreciate you inviting me to speak with you this afternoon to address issues about bias in the San Francisco Police Department and how to restore the Publics Trust after the horrendous racist and homophobic texts that have now seen the light of day, but which the office of citizen complaints was privy to a short time prior to their release, but we were not able to comment on them, and i will say it has been an incredible burden for me to live with t
