Policing, its never been an Institution Designed to keep us safe and used as a tool for those in power to keep the marginalized people from rising up, going all the way back to the slave patrol. Sharing im the policing unfairly targets marginalized communities, injects massive amounts of people into the prison system. We heard about reform from chief scott today, but all those measures ignore the fact that reform is not effective. We need to defund and sfpd and invest in our communities immediately. I yield my time. Thank you for your comments. It cannot force you to create money in a budget. Cut the budget and cut the numbers of police and Fund Services that help humans. End the violence against black and brown people that is built into policing. I disagree with supervisors assessment of what his constituents want. We want services, not Police Officers. I have heard on this call that over time sfpd at the airport, the focus of sfpd and the mandated reforms are not well understood by s
But just in the context of this hearing, id like to point out that the board has been so far, from what ive heard, asking a lot of questions about identifying sort of superfluous elements of the Police Budget such that can be cut, particularly in the light of this budget deficit. And these are only symptoms of a much broader problem, and lets not forget that the Biggest Issue with the police is that this is an institution that directly targets black and brown people and that the time has concluded.

Like a big relief, you know, its been 10 years in the work to make this book and so it feels like a relief and its just a pleasure to be able to talk about it, to talk about it with you and tons of other interesting people. Really a page turner. Outland, the great medical scientific historian on the cigarette century. Robert proctor at stanford about the deception of the industry. Any trepidation when you started . You had three giant box out there, and you took a risk. Guest yes, but but i really feel as though with those three books, ashes to ashes, cigarette century and Robert Proctor whole corpus of work, the biggest of which is called golden holocaust, i i really feel as though i was standing on the shoulders of giants. These are fantastic works and my work is tremendously indebted to them, but when i was thinking about writing about tobacco, i wasnt approaching the same way that they were.
