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.

Sheesh. Chair fewer president yee, are you done with questioning, because i see supervisor ronen in the queue. President yee yeah, i have a few more, but go ahead. Chair fewer okay. Supervisor ronen . Supervisor ronen i dont want to cutoff president yee. I actually have a similar version of a question, so maybe you can finish up because i very much agreed with everything you had to say.

Thank you. I dont really have any words. I will be an up and down meeting. We have a meeting with the school of the arts and a reading from school of the arts. Commissioner collins, did you want to chime in here . I just want to say that even though this has been a very difficult time, i think its also showing us ive been getting a lot of hope from youth and from what im seeing and so a senior with the school of the arts and i think that she excepexemplifies the intelligen, intellect and just the leadership that we see in so many of our youth, including those who are serving on the board with us. And i just really appreciate that shes willing to share her talent with us and i think she serves as an example for adults who should be doing everything we can to support youth. I think that gives me hope and inspiration when im looking at just what our next steps should be. And i just really appreciate jara and im glad she can be here. Thank you, Commission Collins. Miss martin. Thank you. I
