Historic protest against global capitalism. We will speak to two of the leading critics of the wto Vandana Shiva and lori wallach who appeared together on democracy now 20 years ago in seattle. The wto constraints every country government about literally the level of food safety it can provide its public. The secrecy through which the wto was born and the fact that most parliaments had no idea what is the content of this treaty u until months after it d been ratified and signed. Amy plus, we look at the 20th anniversary of the birth of the indymedia move which grew out of the seattle wto protest. To find her own way to get our message out. We hope the information that has been presented you by the alalternative media is one that you will learn. Amy all that and more, coming up. Welcome to democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. Im amy goodman. On capitol hill, the House Judiciary Committee will begin impeachment hearings next week into whether President Trump withh
Have another meritorious thats been submitted, and a cliff rescue. Im going to mention lieutenant baxter, cliff baxter. He manages to be two or three places at the same time, but i really want to give kudos to lieutenant chief baxter. Theyre going to the Police Department academy, talking to the protectionabationary acade talking to them about what we need, doing it in a very professional way, explaining what we need in terms of parking, not blocking hydrants, and were really building a strong relationship with the Police Department right now, that i really am proud of them for, and thats also with the help of captain hart from the sfpd. We also did 66 outreach in the month of october. That brings us to e. M. S. , our e. M. S. From assistant chief sandra tong. You got a very extensive report from e. M. S. 6. Thank you dr. Pang and yates and chief sloane. That was wonderful. Ill take us all the way because im going to respect our time today, but on page 18, we have the narcan administra
With respect to civilians. Give us a highlevel update in terms of the numbers because right now there were a lot of numbers thrown out and we started at a certain number and then from two years ago, how many of those positions have been civilianized, and what is the subset that is considered seriously to be civilianization but havent gotten there yet . Okay. We did have, actually pulled up a report from the Controllers Office from earlier this year and about 54 positions that had been identified previously as civilianization positions, all of them have been filled save for two which were no longer applicable, meaning the position no longer existed in the format it was at the time, and then the 25 positions from that we got budgeted, and 25 positions in 19 20, so commander ford can speak to the status of those. Welcome, commander. Good morning. Good to see you all. All right. Pertaining to fiscal year 1819, 25 positions budgeted for 1819. Of those, 13 have been filled to date. Another s
And then the actual final report which often times may be pending further toxicology testing, or may additional investigation. That has taken a longer period of time. The name standard is to issued the final determination and report, 90 within 90 days. Our goal continues to reach that. We have particularly difficult time doing that in 2018, after the department move to the new location. All of our Forensic Laboratory equipment was being recertified. We fell very behind in that part of it. During the last two quarters of the last fiscal year we are now regularly the average of completing a toxicology testing is down to 71 days. That has enabled us to be much closer to issuing that report within the 90 day window. We havent finalized all of that to give you a concrete exact where we are as a last quarter. That is part of what were doing now. All of which is to say, we are much closer during the past 12 months to being at the 90 . I would anticipate when we look at the data we would be so
[background noise] [gavel] committeese judiciary will come to order. Without objection the chair is authorized to declare recesses at any time. We welcome everyone to this mornings hearing on protecting america from assault weapons. I will now recognize myself with an Opening Statement. Assault weapons have been repeatedly used of weapons of deadly violence on our citizens. In just the last two years, las vegas, parkland, pittsburgh, poway, midland and odessa have seen Mass Shootings at the hands of a gunman with assault weapons. Last month we added el paso and dayton to the list of communities shattered by Mass Violence perpetrated by a gunman old with armed with assault weapons. Todays hearing is about whether america will tolerate weapons of war in our streets and in our neighborhood. Simply put civilian assault , weapons are just semi automatic versions of military weapons. Have passed bans on assault weapons, these have been proven too easy to evade. This is one reason i support a
