>> we already delivered video tapes to all of this supervisors and to some of the major media. they have already reported a series of attacks. some media, they want to interview us. when we did the petition, we got lots of people asking us, what is the d.a. doing? can our mayor do something to

help? can our supervisors do something to help? >> [speaking chinese] >> we hope that the president and the supervisors can speak out for us. >> thank you very much. are there any other speakers? >> [speaking chinese]

>> we got a petition from the d.a. office and from lots of citizens. we did a petition in a lot of districts. we got a lot of support. we hope more people can stand up. also, he mentioned that the chinese communist party, we feel they want to bring hatred to san francisco. we know that one person was persecuted in mainland china. you may know that they are very nice. they are a peaceful people. following the principle of tolerance. we want to follow this principle in our daily lives. the practitioners have a foundation of a peaceful and safe committee.

it benefits a lot. the chinese people, they benefit a lot. in 1999, this started a persecution. everything changed. they got arrested. people got detained. it destroyed the austerity. there is no fairness, no law. we all come from mainland china. we lived there before. we saw how this happens, they gradually change this society. how did destroy the society. now we see the attacks in chinatown are similar to what they do in china. i also want people to know, to be aware of what is happening. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker.

>> [speaking chinese] >> if i could restate, we need to make sure you are translating. >> she came from china. her whole family was persecuted. they would not give the belief. the attacks, she came here because this was a free land. so we can continue our belief. she also got attacked. we were told, one of the people,

the behind-the-scenes forces. all of these theories of the attacks. she also hopes that people can do something to stop this. i know that she has a close relationship with the chinese communist party. the chinese consulate. we hope this will not affect our decision. >> [speaking chinese] >> she says, on july 14 and 15, you were in washington d.c. holding rallies. we also talked to congressman and congresswoman. they are very supportive.

there is a picture. can i put it here? you can see that. this is part of a picture. thank you. >> [speaking chinese] >> it has been 50 days since the last attacks. they marched to cases into one. >> [speaking chinese] >> he thinks this is related to the people -- it is related to

the last eight attacks as well. >> [speaking chinese] >> he feels like when we were in washington, all the congressmen and congresswomen, they were friendly. here, he feels like people do not listen. >> [speaking chinese]

>> he thinks it has been a long time. some of the hearings have already postponed. he hopes that all of the supervisors and the president can help them. the superior court and also the police station to investigate the whole thing. thank you. >> thank you. thank you very much. >> sorry, i have some material a want to present to you all. >> you can pass out the material. thank you very much. let's hear from the next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am representing --

i am here to respectfully ask for three things. one, the restatement of ross mirkarimi as sheriff. we voted for him. number two, please reset date all of his lost salaries. number three, i am asking for the mayor to please stop on this issue. i think -- thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, good evening. thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. i am here to support mr. ross mirkarimi. to me, it is very clear this is more political prosecution.

i want to ask you something, how would you feel if you were in his shoes? how would you feel if a few people or more than that, they do not agree with you. they would try to put you down, all the way down, and destroy your family. months without pay. how would you feel? i wanted to think about it. please bring justice. reinstate the sheriff. he needs a job. he needs to work for the people. i hope you listen to everyone. it is very clear it was political. it is putting a lot of effort.

they are putting attorneys and a bunch of energy because he had a domestic dispute. this case is very simple. please don't be part of this political game. i know you guys are smart. thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening. my name is rebecca. i am disappointed that in the last month i was here. what about us? it was 2 sets of monies.

nobody tells anybody what is going on. you are supposed to care about everybody here. they do not tell us what is going on. they come back 30 minutes later. i do not think it is fair that they are taking him out. i think this is a big mistake. it is obvious he is lying to us. i think he is very embarrassed.

we have to take -- take care of us first. we have different things. i am very disappointed with this. i am sorry to be nervous. i cannot accept this. i am very embarrassed for myself. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening, supervisors. i raised three children in san francisco as a struggling single mother. all three of my children know more than one homicide victim. this is unacceptable. i do not see my supervisor here. i hope you will convey our public comments to her. she was addressing the public

comment of homicides. there is no more pressing issue. since january 13, ross was my supervisor in district 5 when we had the crisis. this is why we need our share for reinstated now. he has the public's safety track record that we need in our sheriff. we are losing ground. lives are being lost. we are sitting in here and talking and people are bearing children right now. they are being lost to senseless violence. i implore you to respect the citizens of san francisco by reinstating the sheriff. the mayor violated our civil rights. he talked about the process. as a constituent, i have never

felt so does respected, all with my tax dollars. the city attorneys have failed miserably in their attempt at making a case against him because there is nothing. the only misconduct is the mayor said officially exited city hall during a bomb threat. he let all of you sit in here. i hope all of you are getting the petition signatures. i am not alone. this is the voice of san francisco. we want our share of reinstated and we want him reinstated now. >> next speaker. >> i lived in san francisco in the mission district. i see all of these issues as related. the attack on sheriff mirkarimi, trying to remove him from an office that he was elected to,

the attacks on the poor and working-class people that need to have the resources of city college so that they can build a viable future for themselves and their family. it is all related. it is basically a war against the poor. i want you to remember what it was like when you were young and struggling. where would you be without education? would you be able to get the degrees that allows you to have the profession that allows you to save up the money to run for office? every night, san francisco gets attacked by the police. recently, they had a solidarity march. what are we doing? we shipped the jobs over the sea is so we have no manufacturing base and no blue-collar jobs. years and years of college only to graduate with debt and huge

student loans they cannot pay back. there are jobs that allow you to get certificates. the college sued be a beacon of hope in the lives of these young people. we need to give them something instead of just relegating them to protest in the streets. please do something for the young people. >> thank you. next speaker. >> buenos noches, supervisors. [seaking spanish] >> i am going to try to translate. she says good evening and thank

you for having her here. she lives in the valley. she was not expecting to give testimony. here she is to give testimony. >> [speaking spanish] >> she says that what she sees here is a huge in justice for our sheriff. our sheriff was democratic -- a democratically elected to serve sentences go. -- san francisco. >> [speaking spanish] >> she does not understand what is going on with the huge waste of tax dollars at the hearings and all of the money and wasted tax dollars at the hearing for

our democratically elected sheriff. >> [speaking spanish] >> and she says she is not an attorney, but this is all a huge injustice. she does not understand what is going on. >> [speaking spanish] >> she says that as a mother, she does not understand how his family is surviving in such an

expensive city. they have no income. they have been separated this entire time. she thinks that he should be reinstated. >> [speaking spanish] >> she was there on june 29 and does not understand what happened. she hopes to get some answers on what happened june 29. >> [speaking spanish] >> she wants to leave in your hearts and minds that what is just is to reinstate the

sheriff. >> [speaking spanish] >> and he wants to work with children and family and parents. we are losing time and the work is not getting done because he is not in office. >> thank you for letting me translate. i did the best that i could. it was not perfect. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. good evening, ladies and gentlemen in the chamber tonight. i was not actually going to come. i am very, very proud to live in this city as i observe the comments from many people tonight from different cultures, different races, and different languages.it is very commendablt

is truly an exercise in i hope that students from high school will see the last hour of whatever went on here today. it is truly a very democratic process. it is something that we are all striving for in our society. i am very touched by the cross section of the diverse population that is in support of ross. i am not familiar with most of you. i do not see it with any of you. maybe there was an exception for somebody that was at the maucao. i thought it was interesting that he has a diverse population that truly believe in him. i am glad that some people were taking notes because they have higher aspirations. with the business of you voting, i am very picul by it.

four of you should not vote anyway. you have found to be in official misconduct. if you were to vote, i think that would be a violation of the city charter with ethics. only 7 of you can vote out of the 11. you know you do not have the votes. you know you cannot pass judgment on ross for something that you are facing. i hope you remember the oath you took as an officer and elected politician. >> thank you. >> good evening, supervisors. it has been a very long day. my name is carlos. i am also a student in this system. it is a very important issue that is in front of you today.

i hope that you will dial into it. on august 6 there is a very important board of trustees meeting. jack scott will meet with the board of trustees. nancy pelosi sent one of her important attendance at the last meeting. the chance of the mission statement being trucked to the point where there is the lumber anything this is very, very possible. but creditors are coming down very hard and very fast. i would like to cordially extend an invitation to all of you to come to the august board of trustees meeting or at a minimum send one of your lieutenants. get dialed into this issue and

support the parcel tax and do whatever you can in order to free up funds. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> your bags are packed, you are ready to go. you can text your significant earned vacation. i hope you plan to spend at least part of it in san francisco. you can attend a giants game at at&t park. i want you to imagine that you see a huge locomotive jumped the tracks and head right at you. the engineer is your worst political enemy. imagine that you have the ability to stop that train. i think in of the analogy i am making.

the prosecution of ross mirkarimi has become a runaway train. what you are enjoying your vacation, your friend and former colleague will be forcing back train. if that train continues in the way it is going now, who knows who will be next? that standard of decency that is so clearly defined in our city charter. have a good time. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i am larry. i am here to remind you that we need k2 radio station. that gives us education. it is from the city college of san francisco. i painted the picture of malcolm x.

i praise the effort with the girls kissing at city college. basically, this is important. this is a man right here. this is avery. people have been telling you about death and killing today. we are in a community united against violence. go online and get san francisco public defender and 626 and find out what happened to me in court. i said -- saw a judge. ladies and gentlemen, and go over to the library and learn

about the treasured strip -- cigar box. this is the beginning of the modern-day global corporations. tobacco, sugar, and slaves. we are closing down a medical marijuana place that people really need. small business, violence, it does not do any of those things. long live the queen. she taught us at the olympics that all countries have to salute the tree. long live the queen in case our kings and queens do not get it right. >> at this time, in general public comment is closed. this is when we go to our adoption counter. >> item 63 a m through 72 are

being considered for immediate adoption. this will be acted upon by a single roll call vote. >> would anyone like to separate any items? >> item 67. >> 67. >> supervisor jim? >> 68. >> any others. 71. >> mr. president, 65. >> and 65. i already severed that out. why do we not take a roll call on the balance of the items which are items 63, 64, 66, 69, and 70. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye.
