Kid was beat up, i hadnt heard anything. I have a lot of respect for the police, but when they are wrong, they are wrong. I dont call the police when i see problems because im scared that this could end in somebodys death. If i think somebody is having a mental crisis, i dont even call. I if my car is stolen, i dont want them to be shot. Their life is more valuable than my car. Please take action. There has to be prosecutions. These are not all justifiable and please do a fair investigation. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] im here from santa rosa to show my support to the family. My son was andy lopez best friend. I have known andy since he was in kindergarten. The fact that these cops not not only in santa rosa, but San Francisco, they are taking young lives is ridiculous. The shoot first ask questions later is bs. Your code of silence is bs. I know this, because i know plenty of you guys. Plenty. My family, this is something im not necessarily proud of. Where officers here in San
To kill us . Thats what they are here for . I work seven 7 days a week. Okay . I dont have no holidays. What . Pay my taxes to this country to kill me . I dont think its fair. I just need justice. For him too. [ cheers and applause ] my name is juana and im here because of the anger and frustration and sadness of what i feel about the murder of alex nieto. You try to justify the color of fear.

I think its a shame that alex nieto was treated. We understand the contradictions in our city, we are people who are working here and working class of color that are inconvenience to white people. Im up
When i put it on my record it was a white string. We want safety inside and we want the police to work to make our district like cast ro. We are here. We can live in a violent country and not be violent. Thank you. I want to thank all of those that are here with the solidarity with the family of alex. Thank you for your energy tonight. Its very grounding and i appreciate it. I would like to just begin by asking chief sur, is it true that your family owns a funeral home . Okay. Not anymore. So, in kgo you have been quoted to say that it turns out that alex has a history of mental illness. I would like to know how is there evidence of that . You know, because im no Mental Health therapist and those records, if thats the case, its private, thank you. Confidential. So right there, thats a violation of his privacy, his confidentiality. Okay . Second, on that moment when he was surrounded by how many policemen . Do you really think or who would actually point and taser at how Many Police Off
