Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much for your indulgence and your patience in allowing us to have your time to speak. Its greatly appreciated. My names allen levine. Weve heard forcyte sometime across the country and in the bay area a change for the use of deadly force, and the use of bullets and batons. A friend of mine many years ago chaired with me a dilemma they had. They said they wanted change in their life and wouldnt stand for it, and thats what i hear here in the bay area. Theyre calling for change, but when change is offered, they wont stand for it. Tazers are not a persolutionfe solution.

This is a thing that i think its great that people want to pitch in with their private funds, but lets not separate people, and lets not have the conversation and allowing individuals to say these people have a right to be defended and these people do not. Which i think is some of the trump narrative and i think its an excellent idea and again, i have mentioned it to the Mayors Office and supervisor cohen and im glad there is getting some traction on this. I will say it does compliment exactly what im here today to promote. One, is because our public defender in this current proposal, which is i think a deep compromise, will only serve 200300 and we know there are 1500 people in detention.
