Maximizing Police Presence from the charter and add it to the posting. Can we hear from the next speaker . Hi, im a resident of district 5. Im calling in like everyone else to support the amendment to remove the minimum staffing requirements for the sfpd. I also support removal of any language requiring maxization of Police Presence in our community. I just wanted to say that im also extremely disturbed by the idea that sfpd management would come up with a proposal ive been calling into the Police Commission meeting for the last couple of weeks and im disgusted and ashamed of the amount of political posturing with no accountability or responsibility. Id like to remind all of my Community Members who are sfpd is one of the racist and Brutal Police forces in the nation and has been investigated by the department of justices at the federal and state level.

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.

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. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is ryan. I live in district 4. I urge for divestment of the sfpd. [indiscernible] and how education and Community Empowerment are how societies grow whereas reaction during punitive and literally oppresses people and holds bias for those struggling in so many areas in the city that needs massive homelessness, education, come full front.
