I would like to refer this to the United States of the koulz versus the city of 70s suggest reading the chief just in part as follows listensers is not a neutrality basis speech cant be punished because it might offend acy cus the commission cant spruce points of view they dont like that cart them off to jail more the constitutial rights was in the disruptive the Fourth Amendment open First Amendment would be meaningful if they justified the arresting and are removal im doing with that its amazing i have 24 orders against city agencies for denying me assess it public records or denying me a Public Comment i have one against commissioner mazzucco and the police chief for records issues the bottom line is when you start to say things you dont like oh, those rules supersede the constitution of the United States this article appeared in todays thing id like to say i think the Police Officers association is tune death to the shooting of mario woods all i see 5 armed officers in a shooting selfreliance with their guns aimed as a at a single individual with a knife the bottom line i dont know who was in charge but certainly not in control and the fact that 5 officers stand there not one think this is a horrible situation not going to end up well is unreasonable by turf. Gone mr. Washington.

Sir. Next speaker, please. clapping. good evening public defender thats a hard act to follow well, im here with respect to advise the commission i sent a letter on monday to attorney general asking here to experiencing exercise her authority to open a civil rights investigation of the San FranciscoPolice Department with the code of civil prouder and sent a letter to the xefr and the District Attorney i sent the letter because i believe that the attorney general is the bank of the west agency to conduct an independent investigation the doj was to get involved the cops program didnt have the authority but a collaborative approach and come out with a report but not the authority to force changes only one state agency under law thats the attorney general and now attorney general harris said shell not step in and would leave it to the District AttorneyGeorge GasconBlue Ribbon Commission as weve seen i dont know when whether the finding of the Blue Ribbon Commission will be accepted given what is happened between the Police Department and the District Attorney i think unfortunately, it is reached a situation where neither side is communicating at least to the extent they should be because were not clear when this late group of wrafrt texts has occurred but the District Attorney is saying Something Different i believe strongly that an attorney generals investigation is something that was done in the past should be done here i want to note my strong support so far the use of force policies indicated by he collaborative and the points by my office. Thank you, thank you both clapping. next speaker. Good evening and welcome. Good evening.

Thank you im going to read this im a little bit nervous im linda ive lived in San Francisco for 40 years and raised any two sons i was speaking about london london the police are pleased to please you that didnt seem to be true here why is that well, people are upset of people being killed by the police exaggerated their threatened why do the police them in danger when one thing no longer knows one is a person it is easy to jump to conclusions and too often the threat end up dead the police should stop and think first for instance, alex what would have happened the officers stayed in their cars and used theyre loud speakers to communicate at the drove up the hill and jumped out of the cars and when he didnt show them his hands at that point that he intended to kill him why that okay oh, they felt threatened i read an article in the laments of a new policy considered this policy emphasize deesclation of violent situations Police Officers need to be mind fell and consider other option like keeping a distance to allow themselves time to find other ways to control the situation this is especially try in con fronting people december ordinary police need to use their heads we need our Police Professional to think and not shoot first i believe by training new officers and retraining to santa fe circulate theyll see the others as people and police will be pleased to please us. Thank you clapping. . Good evening and welcome. Hi my name is ann im a thirty year residents of San Francisco like the lady my kids were born and raised here and i own a house here so ive been paying for sfpd and the police chief salary for quite a while and the police has changed over 40 years i saw this is a positive institution and again paying attention about racial profiling ive watched the per speaker unless otherwise established by the presiding officer of the meeting. News and the text message that were racist and studied the police especially killing black people around the country i was shocked of the abusive behavior in a traffic stop i failed to report it; however, murder of mario woods and into the justice excuse me for mario woods corelation im here to voice my voice of no confidence im not alone Health Professionals are seeing violation is increasing and black lives have raising racist issues a systemic problem for the most part my apologize to trees talk about a bad system it encourages bad actors you need to commissioner tang policy it is something were watching and getting up to speed of the shooting of mario woods and lopez are justified the rules are wrong and next to enforce policies run the statute of limitations washes no more but public trust must be accountability we have to build in more real communicate oversight of the Police Department not a small group of people appointed by powerful other people and as far as murder charges we need a new chief. Maam, thank you, maam clapping. next speaker good evening and welcome.
