Pressure on long standing poes which place noise constraints. Forced to close recently, including in dog patch, road devil lounge in knob hill and the sound factory in soma. Now bottom of the hill and the independent in my district are facing the prospect of nearby residential development. That could jeopardize their ability to host live music or pay tens of thousands of dollars to soundproof their facilities. Weve got to be able to coexist. Music and culture are too important to let us keep losing these venues. Yes, we need to build places for people to live in our city, but not if we force out the venues where they perform in the first place.

Defender and the 10. Program is a good place to start. The hiring process in the department of Human Resources within the Police Department with vigorous screening of applicants and weed out those with biases but ongoing screening so we can pay more attention to those issues continually screening for bias within the department. I also believe that the task force called for our District Attorney George Gast Ron is a good first step but independent investigation as the sheriff Ross Mirkarimi and public defender have called for is also in order. I also wanted to say that data must be gathered and i know some of the comments brought up today is not only the traffic stop data but perhaps stop and frisk and detention data maybe necessary to understand the depth of issues of dais and lastly whether its academies or the Field Training within the department how we look at how ongoing trainings for practical trainings on conscious and unconscious racism and bias maybe necessary to move forward a
Will ensure we dont come to this ugly place again. I am anxious to hear from the departments on how were going to continue to Work Together on ensure that the incidents like this are discovered if more exists, and how this sort of behavior affects past cases and how its going we can prevent it in the future so with they believe supervisor avalos you have a couple of things you want to throw in there .

At this time we wa
