It. We will see some cloud cover beginning to move in late thursday, 38 on fairfield, clothes for palo alto in san ramon. 40 in blackhawk, and it is pretty chilly for some, and very foggy or others. Getting reports in marin county, up to petaluma, and once this fog lifts, we will have sunshine. A few high clouds, and a little bit muggy with the sunshine, especially toward the santa clara valley. Mid60s for some, upper 50s for us. We have the incident in san jose clear, but the traffic is still slow. Where looking at the east bay commutes, and it is a little bit sloat starting off on the east shore freeway. About a 40 minute drive on 80 from the bridge to the maccarthur maze. Getting pretty slow toward oakland. Looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, the traffic is slow as you get up to the plaza, 25 minutes into the city. This is not going to be good, especially judging by yesterday, slow because of the embarcadero closure over the financial district. We mentioned northbound to 80, an ac
The department of health and Human Services for the office of general counsel. I was relieved from the San Francisco jail last week after spending two months for felony charges after making criminal threats and just from being frustrated with the police that refuse to do anything and now i havent seen my son in four months. I saw him before his dad bit him in the face and there was a witness and the person made cps reports and they havent done anything and the police havent done anything and i think its convenient that greg suhr left and heard the important things that people had to say and he took charge of this case and ignored it thank you. And i think the Police Department is shameful thank you. [inaudible] next speaker. Hi. I am christopher hite and with the San Francisco Public Defenders Office and chair of the Racial Justice community and San Francisco Public Defenders Office. What i see is occurring right now in San Francisco and plays off of reverend browns comments there is a
Suggestion of Going Forward have been reiterated and spoke of. In particular i would like to address the patrol specials, particularly under San Francisco Police Department. I personally had an experience where there is bias there as well. I surface this and sent it directly to the internal Affairs Committee about five years ago and i havent heard from it. There was a statement that was questionable by a person under the auspices of San Francisco Police Department. I will follow up with that but i do congratulate the committee today. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello. With a bay area organization. Im going to talk about three stories which i think exhibit both Structural Racism this the system, dehumanization of clients in the system and implicit bias. As far as racism one of the things the community can do to understand what is going on is literally walk into any of the departments in the hall of justice and look at the individuals coming out and question whether this is expli
Because no other Police Officer will Say Something and the thin blue line will hold fast and even officers that dont like it that do not like hearing it that its like a punch in the gut is not going to say anything because to talk out of turn jeopardizes their future, their promotions and so forth as not being a team player and what the department has to understand and just as they ask us in our community when we see a crime we need to tell the police about it. When they see crimes of this nature, social crimes they have to tell somebody about it and do something about it. That can not be a one way street. There has to be cooperation from the departmentand i dont think the chiefs actions have been strong or swift enough. We tried to tell him a year ago and when this happened i thought how much greater would have been if the chief said yes we have some problems and we implemented a Community Policing program that we implemented sensitivity training and that we implemented recruitment. I
This Police Department in conversations as to how we have been disrespected; how we have been distreated; how we have been victims not only of racism but homophobic behavior of others who have been allowed to abuse us and misuse us, and again i want to say that it is not only incumbent that the city and county train the leaders, but you got to start with the rank and file. Bring us some healing so that we can in turn do the job that we have been sworn to do and the manner in which you can be proud of. I thank you for your time. Thank you president williams. Next speaker. Good evening Reverend Richard baker is my name. When i was preparing to come here i couldnt help but think of the Old Testament prophet daniel around the fifth chapter of the work and the king called him in and said interpret the handwriting on the wall, and its clear that the handwriting on the walls of these chambers and indeed the halls of justice here in San Francisco reflect the fact that there is an utter disresp
