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
State in the u. S. Capitol. We havent seen anything like this since 1998. Officer sicknick, his family had him cremated. His remains are on the table next to a flag commemorating his service. His family is there. Its a good thing, chris, we havent seen anything like this since and we shouldnt be watching it now. As i was listening to you on the way here, hearing an officer die in the line of duty because of an insurrection on capitol hill was just mind boggling to even fathom. Members of the Law Enforcement community were supposed to start their visitation, and thats what theyre doing now, 10 00 p. M. I imagine the president of the United States will be along soon. He arrived we watched the motorcade bringing him in from the white house. Hes not in yet. He hasnt visited. No, he has not visited but we saw the motorcade. I have been receiving word from Law Enforcement, Law Enforcement with Capitol Police and surrounding police departments, and they are actually happy that we are carrying
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. That is essentially all i have to say. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good aft

Hours in the Oval Office Last night. The gop plan proposing 1 3 of the 1. 9 trillion democrats are looking for. It was a very Good Exchange of views. I wouldnt say we came together on a package tonight. No one expected that in a twohour meeting, but what we did agree to do is to follow up and talk further. The devil of course is in the details. Theres plenty of kidisagreemen in the dollars in the plan. Its unclear how much republicans are willing to go up and biden willing to go down but a Top White House aide suggests not much. Everything here is to help people stop suffering from the pandemic. This will lift 4 million kids out of poverty this year. We are more than willing to keep engaging, but at the end of the day what the president and Vice President wont do is compromise their values or let the American People down. Democratic leaders in the house and senate have taken the first steps towards reconciliation, a Budget Maneuver that would allow the Biden Relief Act to pass with a s
