Chair jerry nadler. Death ofer the tragic george floyd has been a wakeup call for americans feel yet the streets are lined with protesters demanding fundamental change in the culture of Law Enforcement and meaningful accountability for officers who commit misconduct. Today, we answer that call. We value and respect the brave and Honorable Police officers who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. We know most Law Enforcement officers do their jobs with dignity, selflessness and honor. They are deserving of our respect and gratitude for all they do to keep us safe. We must also acknowledge that there are too many up exceptions, too many Law Enforcement officers that dont uphold protecting and serving. The reality for too many americans, especially for too many africanamericans, is that Police Officers are perceived as a threat to their liberty, their dignity, and all too often, to their safety. And to those who do not believe it, look at these tragic statistics. Are mor

31,000 as compared with 110,000 for white fames. As many as 19 of black children in San Francisco live in poverty. Black and African American individuals comprise 35 of the citys unhoused population, despite making up only around 5 of the population as a whole. We have been pushing for reparation for black people here in San Francisco for decades and we have continue to see our organizations disrecorded and left out of receipt of vital resources and in these times of continued system d systemic discrimination of black people, we have to be strong with our solutions. In other words to provide a real opportunity for equity, we need to repurpose resources and give them to the black community to tlefl Playing Field and achieve successful outcomes. Thises a concrete, bold and immediate step toward true reparations for black people and im urging all of my colleagues to support this redistribution of resources from the San Francisco Police Department to the black community.

Too many Law Enforcement officers do not oppose the ethic of protecting and serving their community. Instead the reality for too many americans, especially for too many africanamericans, is that Police Officers are perceived as a threat to their liberties, dignity, and all too often to their safety. To those who do not believe it, look at the tragic statistics. Africanamericans are more than twice as likely to be shot and killed by police each year.
