with what you are doing and what you are saying. let us have the right to sit on the ground in a park that our tax dollars pay for. our tax dollars pay for it. your tax dollars pay for it. he can join us if you want. -- you can join us if you want. [applause] you can take off your badge and you can join us if you want. i would love to have you. you are my brother. the lady who is not paying attention to me in the pink shirt, i love you. >> i cannot respond to you. >> but you are responding to me. sir, i love you, you are my brother. ma'am, i love you, you are my sister. what we need to do is come together. we need to stop this. it is not all i have to say, but i only have 20 seconds left and

i'm not trying to get dragged out of here because i know exactly what you guys would do if i took away too much of your time. you already showed me what you do if we do not do what you want us to do. we are asking for an occupation as free human being to have free spirits and freeze -- and free got rid give us an opportunity to be human beings on this planet. stop trying to oppress us. stop trying to tell us what to do. stop trying to force us out of somewhere where we have a right to be. it does not say we need a permit in our constitution. it does not say, unless you're standing in the parks were at 10:00. president mazzucco: thank you. your time is up. we have to let other speakers to the area -- we have to the other speakers speak. [applause] >> my name is daniel kelly. i am from new york city, a

graduate of the university of buffalo. i am one of the young people is poorly educated and knows what is going on with the world. knows what is going on in san for cisco and what happened on sunday and continues to happen is unacceptable. i want to come here. i have only been here for 51 hours. i love the city. what i do not love is the police brutality that i continually hear about. my mother called me crying one week ago because she heard that a homeless man, which i have now become since i've inherited your city -- since i inhabited your city, was killed by police officers. it was a 19-year-old man who was killed for a $2 bus fare. this is unacceptable. i stand in solidarity with the occupy san francisco movement. i stand in solidarity with the entire movement. i want each of you to as well. none of you are in the top 1%. none of you make over $1 billion per year.

none of you. we are not looking to oppose you, to dethrone you. we are looking for your support and an end to the baton of swinging. that is all i have to set her it -- that is all i have to say. [applause] >> my name is julian. i am also oc a supporter alsocupy sf. the movement has been gaining national and international attention because of the basic message that the 99% of people in this country and around the world who do not control the wealth in deserve a basic quality of life, basic human dignity. in you have violated that dignity when you attacked the camp, when you go after protesters, when you beat people, take away their tents. we are not going to stand for it anymore.

what i have to say it -- you are bringing international attention to yourself when you do that. when this -- when the occupy movement is reported on this city as a black eye because of what your police department is doing and is in the interest of this commission to hold any police officer who raised the encampment, who beat people, accountable. anybody who engages in this kind of behavior deserves to be investigated, deserves to be suspended, he and maybe even dismissed. i think you for your time during -- i think you for your time. [applause] >> i would like to say it is

good to be back. unfortunately, i am compelled to address this body over severe abuses of human rights. for those of you do not know me, my name is jeremy miller. i am here tonight, on account of one week, living three or four days straight of police brutality in different neighborhoods around the city. i was called out there -- i received an emergency call on sunday night to turn up at occupied sf. i got there in time to witness police officers brutalizing peaceful, youthful protesters. exercising their first amendment rights of freedom of speech and assembly. i am more than willing to stand in front of any tribunal or any court and testify to that fact. secondly, yesterday, and i'm skipping a couple of towns

because i know we have a time limit, but three or four days ago, there were attacks on market street, in the park, but yesterday, clayton and benzo were attacked cost of hospitalized, and are now being held in without their charges being released to the public. they need to be freed now. and we are well aware that it is a political attack on the census go bayview community and a violation of the first and 14th amendments of the constitution of america. we are involving the justice department in this. president mazzucco: sir, i'm going to tell you right now -- [yealling] we cannot hear the speaker if everybody claps.

everyone has a right to speak to. we are allowing everyone to speak tonight. do not miss resent -- do not misrepresent everything. we want to hear what you have to say. be respectful. we are asking everyone to be respectful. sir, you have got to be respectful, this is a public meeting. we are going to take a five minute recess. vice president marshall: there are rules. there are rules governing public comment. if you do not follow rules regarding public comment, we cannot have it. all he is asking is that you follow the rules. there are rules regarding public comment. if you do not follow the rules, you cannot have a public comment. president mazzucco: we are in

recess for five minutes grid we president mazzucco: the time is 6:26. we are back in session. still on item three. general public comment. when we broke, jeremy miller was speaking. he still has one minute and 20 seconds left. before we proceed, i want to thank those of you came outside and spoke to myself. we want to thank you for coming outside and understanding our position in that, in order to have an orderly public meeting, there are rules of conduct. the clapping, noise, cheering, getting too excited, if we lose

the ability to have a public meeting. i ask for your indulgence. we want to hear when you have to say. and we are very interested in that. we are the civilian oversight body. the liaison between the public and the police department. there are two sides to every story. we want to hear about what you are going through and what we can do to accommodate you. if you have got to meet us halfway. by doing that, we need to have the rules of order. we have a very busy agenda tonight. we of other matters to get to. we're going to continue with public comment. we are going to have an additional public comment for 30 minutes. we will move the additional public comment after our agenda. we will hear from you then. those of you who came out tonight, i really want to thank the. there are two leaders out there who really want to do this and work with us. without further ado, we will limit the public comment has to

35 minutes and 20 seconds. from there, we will move to the rest of our agenda items and we will do the rest of our public comment afterwards. i thank you. everyone needs to be called so we can get our messages across. come on back, sir. go ahead, ma'am. >> was a young man was killed in the bay view area. president mazzucco: could you talking to the microphone? >> i am the mother of my son here, who was killed on july 16 by the census go police department. in regards to the $2 transit fare. i'm here in support of carpenter, clayton, and tommy

carpenter. every time they speak out for my son, they are getting in corpus -- hitting incarcerated. i am here to stand up for justice. it is not right. my son is the underlying of why they continued to be singled out and incarcerated for speaking out for his injustice. i want you to know that i have many supporters. we are here, standing up, fighting back, because these gentlemen should not have been of use yester day, they should not have been hospitalized, and they should not be incarcerated for speaking out to the injustice that was done to my son. we will be back here on friday to speak out for tommy carpenter, because all these charges are stemming from them speaking out for my son. that is what i have to say. we are here and we are not going

anywhere. we will continue to support whoever you incarcerate for standing up for my sons in justice. thank you. [applause] >> i want to reiterate what she just said. we demand the release and dropping of all charges of clayton, benzo, and tommy carpenter. these are political arrests. you know it as well as i do. secondly, the room did get a little bit heated before we went to recess. i spoke to a few members of this body who asked me to try and keep things calm. i want to respond to that by

saying, i am flattered by the thought that i have this power that you perceive. in fact of the matter is, i did not. i came here representing my organization's and in solidarity with the people here. the energy that you were responded to is the organic energy of a people that are outraged at multiple accounts of police brutality. the idea that that we should be calm -- you have multiple mothers of victims of police assassination in this room. the idea that we should use our library voices is offensive and disrespectful of freedom of speech. i understand -- president mazzucco: your time is up, sir. >> listen -- president mazzucco: your time is up. hankie very -- thank you.

[applause] >> hi. my name is regina johnson and i have worked in the city for 16 years. i have worked one job, to jobs, three jobs, to put myself through school. i am one of the tens of thousands of people in this city who live paycheck to paycheck and are waiting to be on the street like the people who are occupying san francisco. i am part of this movement. what happened on sunday night was horrific. you almost killed someone. you should watch people get thrown down and their heads-in. this is not the only time i have not seen this. i have seen homeless people get beat up by cops when no one was

around outside my window, and i had to yell down to get them to stop as they were smashing someone's face in the street, but no one has to see this alone any more. we are showing what is happening in this city as inequality has grown, as racism has grown in this city and the police department goes after a says poverty continues in this city. that is what this movement means. we deserve so much more, and the police department has a responsibility not to kill us, and your responsibility is to actually go after the police department right now and say what they have done is wrong. i am shaking because this is sown in infuriating and so scary -- is so infuriating and so scary. i hope before one more person is killed, one more person of

color, and i hope you take this very seriously, because we are not going away. there are tens of thousands of us in the city, and there are lawyers on our side, and we are not going to stop. this movement is growing. this is our city. we pay the police departments paychecks. [applause] >> are you coming up? >> good evening, commissioners. i do not call you she's, because i only ally -- i do not call you chiefs, because i only acknowledge elected chiefs. i am here for the families who have been killed.

i am on my second term as a city commissioner. this is not the most liberal city of the world. this is starting to be a conservative, a fascist, racist city. he was slammed against the pavement and polled by his dreadlocks. this is not the plantation. the flav institution is so long time ago. this is set -- the slave institution is so long ago. this is san francisco. goowe are watching you as you ae watching us. we are attorneys, and we have the city coming and saying, a

enough is enough. it is inappropriate today, but we are here to reclaim the herd. we do not need to occupy. we own the herd, and i would say, occupied this. [applause] >> good evening, sir. >> i want to say that i have an incredible capacity for love, and for all these things i am hearing, they sound really terrible, but i want to say for what ever in justices have happened, and i forgive you, and let's move forward.

let's work together. i really forgive you, and i value each of you as a person, and mistakes we have both made now i am sure. if we were sitting out there right now, you could line of n.g.o. your thoughts as well- known regional -- line up and yell your thoughts as well. i like your suit. it looks really good. i say that from the bottom of my heart. i forgive all of you, and i want to work together as a team. let's rise as a community, because this is your city as well. i do not see it as a city. i see it as the entire world. we should come together and forgive mistakes and move forward together. that is all i have to say, and thank you. >> next speaker please.

>> hello, my name is larry, and i am with a coalition to stop police brutality, criminalization, and we are going to have a protest coming up on saturday in the bayview hunters point, and these brothers, clayton, tommy clayton are incarcerated. they were incarcerated for speaking up about half of schilling of kenneth -- the killing of kenneth n. charles -- and charles. people are aware of the past history of gus shot down 26 times. there are many other people in the bay area. this is what the history of the

police department in the bay area and around the country, this is what is happening in our communities, and we are talking about mass incarceration. mr. mezuco thought that was funny. you were smiling. we need to support occupy san francisco. we need to support people who are struggling in the communities. we need to have our own communities free of police violence, and that is what october 22 is spreading around the country and will spread right here, and we are inviting people to come up soon bayview hunters point, and we are inviting people to come on october 22 to join the occupation of san francisco, so

basically, we are saying, stop police brutality and police occupation, and we want people to occupy our communities, sir justice for kenneth harding, and justice for charles hill, and justice for people at the hands of police brutality at the encampment. thank you. saturday, 12:00 the reagan -- 12:00. [applause] >> next speaker. >> my name is barbara. i am a lifelong resident of the view hunters point. my dad was very community active, and he used to teach us if you see signs of trouble,

run, but i cannot tell my son to run, because if he runs, he might get shot, and i do not want to end up like ms. harding, but i see that is going to happen if a police are arresting him and slamming him into the ground, and it is not like his anger is made oup. he was misidentified in the ninth grade and kicked out of the private school because he wasn't a police system, and he has been a rise -- has been harassed ever since. i try to be an outstanding citizen. my son is a good person, but he should not be harassed, and none of these people. we should not have to watch the police, but there is a need, because they are doing so many things not consistent with ilate

law. i felt i needed to common out because my son is standing up, and i need to take a stand because he has people who love him, and he is not the person you are trying to make him out to be, and i do not want to be like ms. harding. i support what the other people are saying, and i want you to police the police and not abuse your power. [applause] >> my name is darnell, and i just got off the airplane from occupy wall street, and i want the police commissioner to know

that the only reason i am there is because of the videos i saw of you and brutally attacking occupier san francisco members on saturday night. i would like to thank you for participating in the strongest campaign, which is a police brutality. every time you do it, we grow. we are not going anywhere, and it is despicable you are not letting us have our universal right to assemble and you keep harassing us. we are not going anywhere, and we stand in solidarity with all the people around the world being oppressed by the police. thank you. >> i am a member of occupies san francisco, and i am in agreement

with everything i heard tonight. for your job descriptions, for money, for our children, our livelihood, there is so much to disconnect, the fact that we wound up getting beat and ratedided, because you could not decide near if the police could decide -- you could not decide if the police can decide what we can or cannot have. it is to the point where we cannot believe said you are complete 80's -- that you are complete i.e.d.'s. either you do not give a damn what is going on, or more of you are getting paid for sitting on your hands or because you are

getting a good paycheck. people are tired of it. i cannot remember the last time iron saw one of the men it -- last time i saw a man in looking at me like anything other than someone i wanted -- someone they wanted to attack. i cannot remember the last time i saw one of those men in blue looking at me or my brother's as if they did not want to do something or if they did not have a preconceived notion that their life was worse, and people are tired of it, and that is the bottom line. i do not care what happens to mea. we are realizing you have given us no choice, nothing to live for, but many of us are finding this is something to die for.

california has been first when it comes to many things. silicon valley, when you started out with a dotcom boom, that was california. to this one thing right, and set the tone for the rest of the nation. o[applause] >> next speaker. >> you already spoke. you only get one shot. sorry. >> i do not think it matters what my name is. i have been brutalized by police, and i have seen my

friends, too, but i am here for the people and the moms of the victims to make their voice a little louder, and that is all i got to save. -- to say. [applause] >> i get nervous when i speak in front of a lot of people, so i wrote something about a. my name is elliott. i am 19 years old. i am one of the 99%, and i stand in solidarity. i was one of those unlawfully arrested. i was in a line of people attempting to block a truck holding personal belongings. these include new tents that i believe have right to. shelter is a basic need, and we will not relinquish our right to it. sunday is the first time experiencing
