three assaults were carried out on 24. each sexual assault was extremely violent, and the victims were robbed prior to the suspect fleeing the scenes. there was tremendous media interest as well as a traumatized neighborhood. in less than 30 days, we were able to go from a grainy video and still photo of the suspect to a person of interest to an arrest and confession. the 32-year-old san francisco resident was arraigned on 26 felony counts. the investigation and subsequent arrest is a perfect example of the value of the establishing and maintaining professional relationships with our law enforcement partner. there is no way the san
9:03 pm
francisco police department would have been able to pull this off without their help, so specifically, many investigative strategies were utilized to identify and stock is violent crime spree. one strategy is to reduce the pool of suspects, to call upon the fbi in examining similar serial cases. we took a chance, and the special agent attended our meetings. ages 0 coordinated phone conversations with additional fbi special agents and maintained additional communications with lead investigators. she was also instrumental in preparations. supervising agent spero is

meeting was recorder in making various comments about meet such as she knew 12 people who would carry me -- bury me. she was laughing during the taped conversation and seemed to be having quite a good time, and two days later went for the san francisco police department and filed a complaint against me. i have made subsequent inquiries, including an immediate disclosure request, and the only thing in this investigation is accusations against me. i was visited out my home by police inspectors without notification. i explained exactly what was going on. i sent them various e-mails. the lead was given a lot of information, none of which gets
9:10 pm
included in this report, so we have someone who accuses me of something, and what i have to say about is not included. i want to remind the same person was found in violation of the sunshine ordinance by the task force. ethics from addiccommission recd she be removed years ago. when somebody shuttered down, she decides she will do this -- defame my character and put something in the police report. she used her position as a member of the san francisco public library commission to make accusations of threats when she knew full well. i used an analogy where i talked about the former soviet-bloc.
9:11 pm
i then moved on to talking about soviet russia, and then i made a comment about republican rome. she did not think she was being recorded, and that comes out when she said this comment, i was raised in the ghetto. i speak very nicely, but i was raised in the ghetto and did carry a switchblade, so the ones statement i said she blowing to a threat, yet what she said was more clearly a threat than anything i did. >> next speaker.
9:12 pm

9:14 pm
care of, and based on what was happening with massive murders in oakland and san francisco, it should have been reenacted back on the agenda with more information for the board to vote on it before it went to the mayor. he cut me off. he did not like the idea at all, so i'll leave you with that. i have copies of my comments, and also copies for the mayor said this is a totally asinine addition to the policies, and i bring it to your attention, because i think the trial is still going to based on the policy that led to a triple murder in the city along with other murders. i thank you for your time.

9:20 pm
thank you. >> next speaker please. >> i just want to say a few words to emphasize the issues mr. hart has tried to call to your attention. it is a complex issue, and i was present during all of the issues and the incidences' relating to it, and sometimes, rather than making a complex statement, it is better to go to the essence. there is a principal the first amendment and freedom of speech is designed to protect unpopular speech. that is at the corner. -- core. we do not need laws to protect popular speech. it is no question the comments
9:21 pm
were well within the protection of the first amendment. that being so, there is a dramatic instance that a police report and the reference to state power is used for political retaliation. and whenever that happens, that is important to all of us. there is an old quotation but a little less freedom for someone is a loss of freedom everywhere. the suggestion is at this is an example of a police report and a reference to state power for political retaliation, and we all need to be concerned about that. >> next speaker and public comment. hearing none, public comment is closed.

medals of valor, a police commendation, and numerous captain's commendations. when i heard he retired, i was a little shocked, but he served in our sex crimes unit longer than i have been alive. he has broken many cases and rescued many victims. we heard about the new technology about what the fbi did, so i think it is a special night to show a certificate of appreciation for a san franciscan who has given his life. congratulations, and thank you.
