something from a b.b.c. article i read. a professor, clifford scott, from peel university in u.k. who has studies riots for many years, and this is a commonly understood scholarship about riots. they are a product of indactions largely to do with the nature of how police treat crowds. i would just repeat that the stress of police in riot gear was aggravating. that s what made it scary. i was there. thank you. clerk: thank you 23for you comments. next speaker, please. welcome, caller. hi. my name is eric coller. i ve been a resident of san francisco since december 2018, and i just want to say that it shouldn t take a week for me living in the city to know the violence of the sfpd and what actually keeps us safe. it s not a curfew. there was a black man shot at 4:00 a.m. underneath my window. i woke up to cops screaming, stop or i ll shoot. he wasn t armed, he wasn t doing anything. this is why people are out. this is why people are protesting. you don t need a curfew to st
continue. at least for me, i ve heard the arguments that people have presented, and i think this is valid on both sides of this, and i personally, not knowing what s going to happen in the next two days, i personally would vote on the side of supporting it. but if, in the next two days, we find that the situation has calmed itself radically, i would say there s no need for the emergency. so that s how i m looking at it. supervisor haney, were you going to say something? i wasn t sure. supervisor haney: no, that was the point. president yee: oh, okay. supervisor haney: i think that we need a unanimous vote ahead of it, to accept it or reject it. otherwise, it stays in place until saturday. president yee: right. so i made a motion. it s seconded, and we can vote on this. clerk: mr. president, we would take public comment first. supervisor walton: president yee, i had questions. i hate to ask twice ahead of your motion. i had a clarifying question. i don t want to vo

teachers and housing together. as you know, i am transgender, formerly homeless and disabled. and when i was out on the streets, i didn t care much about these austerity lies. we could end transgender homelessness with only 13.5 million, according to a little birdie that came in my ear over five years. furthermore, aside from the lost hospital that is st. mary s being inhumane and not reimbursement by prop c, any hospital receiving government funding raises the bells for me as a transgender. it s time we get together and advocate for teachers and housing together and stop being miserly. when people can t afford to live here, and people are homeless, it s time to cut the bullshit and grow the pie. i just have to echo what the previous speaker said. grow the pie. our senior and disability action, you know, one of our priorities and it s a very big priority is deeply affordable housing and mental health services. i know that the conservatorship issue is going to be coming to
