We have a quorum. Vice president taylor thank you. In the last few weeks, we watched the barbaric murder of george floyd by vile, racist Police Officers. We watched Ahmaud Arbery get gunned down by white spr supremacists. Study after study shows that white people and black people are not only more likely to commit crimes, they think that we feel less pain. We have a less nuanced feeling, and less worthy of protection, so we often have to fend for ourselves. Racism is definitely a police problem, one that is as old as our entire nation, but lets be clear no ones off the hook. Racism is an america problem. Trayvon martin, Ahmaud Arbery were killed by citizens. The overwhelming number of hate crimes are committed by ordinary citizens. Every Single Member of this commission is committed to rooting out bias in this Police Department, and after seeing the murder in minneapolis, after seeing the recent video circulating of what appears to be neck restraints used here in San Francisco in janua

We would quickly be in the very same position we are in. I get why superficially that is an appealing way to go, but the volume of cases, we represent over 20,000 people a year. So we would very quickly be in the same position, i think. What i think my suggestion would be that there be some soulsearching in each department be reallocateing staf until they get until and unless they get new staff. So these are we have an 11 million budget plus, and i cant remember how many hundreds of millions for the Police Department, and a lot of staff. So the question is what should be prioritized .

So we get multiple requests, which we have gotten for different time periods, of 2200 officers, that turns into 20,000 requests. So a total of 114 requests that we have received, that is equal to 111,000 line item categories that have been to be cleared, because we have to tie the request to the requester to the officer, to the time period, to the particular thing the requester is requesting. We have requests for officerinvolved shootings that resulted in injury but not death, we have just a variety of requests that we have to respond to individually to what that person asked for. So in the prioritization, we have been looking at the order that we received them, the ability to search for the records, the number of requests received for the same officer or event and the ability of the requester
