i am also submitting an in memoriam for scott cho that passed away on may 3. he died after a struggle with metastatic melanoma. he was born in san francisco in eureka valley on collingwood street. he attended high school, graduated with a civil engineering degree, and with a master s in transportation. his lifetime career with the city and county of san francisco started in traffic engineering. one of his accomplishments solved a conundrum the city was facing and had to deal with the intersection at eighth street towns and, division, henry adams. he designed that entire area of which was not an easy task. in 1987, he was appointed deputy director of the department of public works and received a commendation for his leadership during the earthquake. scott coordinated the many transit partners for airport renovation has his final job before retirement. he is survived of his wife of 30 years, rebecca, and his brother, and his sister, susie. the rest i submit. supervisor cohen: t
think it is an excellent time that any time there is a safety threat against the people of san francisco, that staff be encouraged to stop him, whatever the situation. he may have information nobody else has. he may have dinner with mayor bloomberg of new york, who might say there is a threat. there are always going to be political opponents who will say this looks suspicious and is a conspiracy. but i am sure he realizes the people of the city come first. it is tough that he has to take abuse because of it, but i would encourage him to take a pat on the shoulder for good work. hello. i am taffy. in your discussion about the stop and frisk, i wonder if anybody has brought upper the context that the policy is like a slave patrol going out at night with a dog, tracking black people down. 50 years ago, the civil rights movement in this country was supposed to stop the jim crow laws. we still have them. i am not seeing any improvement in our humanity, which is very sad. no impr
individual constitutional rights. just to give some context of how this policy works, he police department conducted a 685,724 stocks. that is no more than 1800 a day. the vast majority of these stocks resulted hand in no arrests, a violation, or ticket. what is more disturbing is that a majority of the stops were african-american, latino, and a male between the ages of 14 and 24 years old. san francisco is different from new york city. here is why we have prided ourselves and our commitment to civil rights and community policing. as a board and as a city, we are a sanctuary city that takes steps to ensure that we are not racially profiling and counter- terrorism activities. we have spent years impacted by violence and law-enforcement officials. we have developed innovative community policing for community-based violations the community response organization. implementing something like this here would not only be counter to our values as a city but will also erode years of
commendation for his leadership during the earthquake. scott coordinated the many transit partners for airport renovation has his final job before retirement. he is survived of his wife of 30 years, rebecca, and his brother, and his sister, susie. the rest i submit. supervisor cohen: think you very much. colleagues, i will be introducing a resolution with the support of co-sponsors, urging the mayor and other city officials including the chief of police and not to pursue implementing a version of new york city s sto andp and stop and frisk policy. exploring and implementing something similar to this policy, and it has yielded little success. what it has done, it has created a conflict between citizens and law enforcement officials that led to a culture of racial profiling and violations of individual constitutional rights. just to give some context of how this policy works, he police department conducted a 685,724 stocks. that is no more than 1800 a day. the vast majority o
laws. we still have them. i am not seeing any improvement in our humanity, which is very sad. no improvement in the humanity. also, oakland, los angeles, and new york, famous for the people the report to be police, are racist. right on track. it is so unfair. michele alexander, the new jim- crow. her expression is from the pipeline from schools to prisons. when somebody is stopped and frisked, that name is written down. no matter what his age, they have that name at the police department. think very carefully about your humanity. think about your own children, if they were likely to be targeted for stop and frisk. thank you. thank you. next speaker. i am larry edmonds. i was bullied and high domestic violence in my sro apartment. you probably read that in the paper. what i am here to talk about is why i walk for aids. aides what is coming up this weekend. i walk for aids to stop racism, sexism, homophobia. san francisco is a little bit like the crazy people in washingto
