to talk about a this is forme ean francisco police commission and fire commission as well and current criminal defense attorney, joe alioto, thank you for joining us today. you re welcome. i m currently a civil rights attorney in san francisco. thank you so much. i want to share with our viewers before we dive in our conversation, here are some of the main takeaways from the executive order today from the president. mr. trump said chokeholds banned unless the officer s life is in danger. snior administration officials say the order would instead promote certification bodies that train officers in deescalation techniques and use of force standards that prohibit choke holds, that calls for a creation of the national database on officers with a history of misconduct. it encourages co-responders like social workers for non-violent calls. police departments get a financial incentive to adopt best practices. now, house speaker nancy pelosi said this falls sadly and seriously sh
ma am? good afternoon, i m sorry, i m late. i couldn t figure out where to go. my name is joan wood. i live in north beach. i support mrs. bruno s appeal but i also wanted to say i object to the whole project for many different reasons. at the last there were no public meetings about close the park, built irrigation system and about adding a seemingly at the last minute that this cement sidewalks around the park were just thrown in on top of it. this is the a whole separate project of the there was no public hearing about it. at first, it was said it would be completed in six months by mr. conner and then it was a year or less and now the history of the m.t.a. is such that i doubt very many people truly believe that two separate projects involving closing the park, could be completed within a year. also, it seems that an easterly year evaluation of what needed to be done about the irrigation system was commissioned by the public utilities commission back in 2016. we haven

they are 26 employees who say they were not hired blacks. and i hope that most of y all on this board is white and i have been before you ones before. one of the problems i keep finding that white people are not sensitive to what is truly happening to black people in particularly in san francisco. in san francisco, there s a 35% of black, young men unemployed. but nothing is done about it unless they are sleeping under the freeway. something needs to be happening in bay view-hunters point. it wasn t nobody that said anything about what the white companies were doing until ray white man went on nbc and said he had the toxic waste spreading in the middle of water black children live. now they stopped the construction but we had been complaining about that three years before and before. but i understand that most of all, why nothing is done when black people are having a problem because white people don t care what happened to us. because slavely is the product. i m just saying
