Good evening how long have i been here police chief you need to resign youre past it come up from the woods case to the other case greg do us a favor just retire just go you have a new wife retire in august for what you told sf weekly and chronicle the examiner all about you greg greg ive known you since you sat there right there and suzy i said no greg suhr well, i was wrong i was totally wrong greg youre a disgrace to the uniform you wear good evening. Thank you. Next speaker. Good evening and welcome. Good evening michael selfgray panthers id like to amend the sentiments of the last speaker i dont know that that greg suhr should resign he needs to be fired the two objects that i have in particular has to do with with his response to the community regarding perez killing he stated to the community that the perez lounged at the Police Officer and navigate with a knife and later an autopsy showed attention shot in the back and the case of mario woods the community was told he lunged at an officer when in fact, his hands were by his side so he needs to be fired not allowed to be resigning so the main point i wanted to talk about the response to this killing the killing not a tragedy should not be two adopt tasers for Police Excuse me. Police officer in custody shootings should not decrease when the policies are adopted they actually go up Research Shows they have gone up a huge percentage decrease after that, the are after the first year but not to the point they were before the tasers were adopted we feel that having the police having taifrz going to the killings instead is another weapon to terrorize the minorities poor and disabled communities. Thank you, mr. Lions. Next speaker. Welcome and good evening. Good evening, commissioners thank you for being here im barbara a former employee of the office of citizens complaints i was director the Police Commission in wleshg and a formal auditor in santa fe and president of the National Association for civilian oversight and police i dont come to the Commission Meetings very often im shunned u stunned that the commission has allowed the chief of police to declare the woods shooting justified it is an investigation showed that the shooting was justified who believe it after it was declared justified at the outset im stunned the commission allows the chief of police to hold the community hostage tasers dont prevent shootings officers are taught not to use tasers im stunned that tasers are going to be introduced at the board of supervisors at a Committee Meeting rather than before the Police Commission the process has already been to bring the waemz before the commission and this is a very unusual process that really concerns me im also stunned that the frequenting is being brought in as a department of justice as a pr maneuver it is if theyre being brought in should be brought in to investigate the mario woods shootings we need in San Francisco is a new culture in the Police Department we should be bringing 2, 3, 4 teaching officers enter vegetation to get each others backs during an incident like the mario woods incidents they help each other to assess what was going on im concerned that the response of that at the response of the police chief thank you. Thank you ill respond to some of the questions and allow the chief to respond to some of the comments. Next speaker. Good evening and welcome.

Im la net white rarely today get up to speak im appalled and saddened and hurt that people would have to come to this meeting behind what happened in this city the execution of mario woods and all of you know that should have never ever, ever have happened and to talk about tasers instead of guns i think that is an insult you all should be ashamed of yourself and greg suhr if you had any desegregate he integrity you should have stepped down you know what happened that wasnt right all the murders and the executions that have happened under to our watch you say their justified thats a shame before god each other will have to deal with yourselves i hope youre not able to sleep at night at a peaceful and restful sleep and having those handful of people whoever handpicked them just to have them here is just on a shame before god what each if you have to answer doorway we have to answer you, me and everyone else im just saddened what i saw that young man laying in that coffin behind what those police did 25 bullets a man with a damn kitchen naive a shame before god she could have used their batons 5 officers you, you mean to tell me 5 officers not one looked at the other one and told them to stop shootings thats a damn shame is really say, i hate to be the one to come and tell you that but comma didnt forgot an address or phone call. Thank you, ms. White. Next speaker. clapping. again. Good evening again and mike again from the folks that sfgovtv can show the overhead right now the new website called government assess dot. Org ive posted 4 months of chiefs calendar stop showing that come back to me, im here to ask folks to check out this website government assess going assess. Com and abbreviated sfgov it blog spot. Com is dictated to all the e elected officials and all i look on the calendar as timecards we need these timecards on the web so that everyone can see how our Public Servant are spending their time this blog is really necessary because right now the chief is not mother or father his calendar online we have to file the records request and wait the public shouldnt, put through that burden it is incumbent on the department for the police to post go to our website. Org regarding the important matter of our missing in action mayor, i should have to point out hes not made a committed to show up in the bayview for town hall more has he gone to the bayview our mayor went to hong kong over the holidays he can go to hong kong but not the bayview that is a dir election of duty the mayor is guilty in terms of improving policing qualities i think that the mayor really needs to get out of room 200 into the community until that time the mayor is missing in action moving on to outlet important matters item 3 is major items the chiefs report and the occ directors report yet i asked the public to have 3 minute on every item and comment on item 3 i want 34 minutes to talk about the chiefs report and 3 minutes to talk about the occ report youre not giving me that youre combining important items into one thing that is not fair to us and finally in case when the occ report is discussed 83 pages in this report from the occ not one Police Officer is named thats police privilege this is how we get away from good policing start naming the cops thank you. Ill ask director joyce hicks to respond to the leg part. Next speaker. Good evening sergeant brown. Commissioner president loftus and members of the Commission Im amos brown the president of the pastor of the third baipt church of San Francisco i rose to say ghandi mentioned the four deadly sins 7 rather and one of them was politics without principle politics without principle naacp before the unfortunate tragic killing of mr. Mar i dont woods was principle enough to force the department and the chief with a comprehensive document for over haul in this department nearly a year ago and these times of crisis i feel that we are at our best sells we do not engage in this type of thinking of them against us, us against them. But get that pronoun we what are were going to do to make a difference and indeed we grieved over mr. Woods kylie repeat now is the time as civil compassionate, rational, creative citizens to move in the words of nike just do the right thing and i came to this meeting tonight to hear from the chief, from the commission what were going to do because we have been meeting this no secret meeting this commission of this Advisory Group was appointed months ago so it is not a reactionary matter difficult as the killing of mr. Woods not a reaction we dont too much reaction as time is responsive i hope tonight this commission will let the world know and the media know what weve agreed to and i think that we will say we can live with that and we are the better because of what the Advisory Committee did and in spite of our pain. Thank you reverend brown. Next speaker. Good evening and welcome. Hi, thank you im liza native of the San Francisco i love this city but ive never had problems with the police im scared of them now ive lost complete faith in the police from the texts still haunt me that haunt me something those officers are still working and theyre out there somewhere they made it into the police with those attitudes. How many people were going to jail or injured as well as the fact it is stuck in this red tape im really i speak for many people i know this is sickening this is still molding within our system and that how do i know with the officers that shot down mario didnt have the same texts between each and everyone we didnt get to see them we didnt get to see the murders they were not on tape i look at Police Officers i feel i have to look at everything and listen to everything they do it is horrible you all have to do something urgent to give faith back to the community were not going to be with policy rules and waiting for months and months and months it will feel like our brushing us off that is just not going to work we need to hear about the text thing i dont care about those lost theyre not going on along with us i feel a bias test that is valuable that every Police Officer puts both through that everyone holding a gun meetings needs to bring all the deep beliefs bring to and want to know what their trigger happy feelings really are im new to this i know you do
