Policing accountability seems to be always about Holding Someone responsible after something has gone wrong. That includes criminal prosecutions and civil rights actions, civilian review boards and body cameras. Government, of the cut accountability is about people having a voice upfront, their elected representatives passing laws transparently that govern different areas of whatever the regulated industry is with public input. We dont do that around policing. Our organization is dedicated to changing that. Host what caught our attention was an oped you wrote in the wall street journal, how to rethink policing is the headline. You write that cops should not be sent to deal with social problems like Substance Abuse, Mental Illness and homelessness that they are not trained to handle. Tell us more. Guest one of our big strategic areas is called Reimagining Public Safety based in part on some of the same assumptions of the defund folks. I dont think many police would disagree with the ass
5 million and 10 million here. That is 700 million budget. Supervisor ronen complains. The board should said fuck the p on. Ppoa. It is to protect the public. Defund the police. Reimagine Public Safety. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good evening. I am tim. I am a resident of district 8. We demand complete defunding of the s. F. P. D. And redirect to Public Health. We must reimagine Public Safety. This is one way. Half than half of the budget we can house every unhoused person. Why should s. F. P. D. Get the increase while schools get 26 million in cuts . Cancel the upcoming Youth Program to cost 2 million that is peanuts compared to the Police Budget. Defund and disband the Police Department. Under be the brown act you cannot censor. Fuck the police. Thanks. Next speaker, please. Hi, i am didi. I want to say what they have been saying all afternoon and evening. Defund, disarm s. F. P. D.

31,000 as compared with 110,000 for white fames. As many as 19 of black children in San Francisco live in poverty. Black and African American individuals comprise 35 of the citys unhoused population, despite making up only around 5 of the population as a whole. We have been pushing for reparation for black people here in San Francisco for decades and we have continue to see our organizations disrecorded and left out of receipt of vital resources and in these times of continued system d systemic discrimination of black people, we have to be strong with our solutions. In other words to provide a real opportunity for equity, we need to repurpose resources and give them to the black community to tlefl Playing Field and achieve successful outcomes. Thises a concrete, bold and immediate step toward true reparations for black people and im urging all of my colleagues to support this redistribution of resources from the San Francisco Police Department to the black community. Also today, im sub

Going to be warming up this weekend, ill tell you what more about it. For now i will send it to my good friend, sal, who has been rocking to the cool tunes this morning. I enjoy that so much over here. Thank you very much, kyla. I have some good news in the Traffic Department today as well. Today is lighter than usual. We had a big crowd at this time at the bay bridge toll plaza, but this morning we dont. And that is very good. And i just think more people are getting away for the holiday.

Sheesh. Chair fewer president yee, are you done with questioning, because i see supervisor ronen in the queue. President yee yeah, i have a few more, but go ahead. Chair fewer okay. Supervisor ronen . Supervisor ronen i dont want to cutoff president yee. I actually have a similar version of a question, so maybe you can finish up because i very much agreed with everything you had to say. Im wondering and this is sort of a similar question to president yee, how decisions are made specifically on timing and use and selection of awardees for nofas, r. F. P. S, and r. F. Q. S. And the reason im asking this is very similar in line to what supervisor walton and president yee were saying is often times, it feels like the same Large Developers get awarded and selected time and time again, and im just wondering what mohcd is doing to improve capacity in smaller organizations led by black and brown folks so that theyre able to compete with the large, Nonprofit Developers who are awarded pretty mu
