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.

Kate, welcome. I could so much for having me. Thank is so much for the beautiful introduction, too. Is a pleasure, its really gre

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. That is essentially all i have to say. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good aft
