5:19 pm
respond to questions presented or may provide a brief response. individual commissioners and police and occ personnel, should refrain, however from entering into any debates or discussions with the speakers during part of the comments, please limit your comments to three minutes. >> good evening and welcome back. >> hi, i tried to come incro. gnetoo but i am jackie. >> i could not come because my rain dance did not in the past few weeks, i am kind of in a hurry today because i don't want to get caught in more rain. i missed you guys and, yes i did, a couple of things that i wanted to share with you, just general comments, in terms of if any of you, particularly those in uniform decide to come to 75 deor street that is the apartments, take the stairs. do not take the elevators, there are blind spots and i have got this thing about ambushing so i don't like it.
5:20 pm
so just safety thing, take the stairs. secondly, i didn't have an opportunity when i was here last night because i was in mourning, to say a thank you to sergeant tad yamaguchi, he did an incredible job of trying to make the building safer and was treated very badly by property manager and social services. he actually came to the community meeting and he was going to be my two minutes worth of public comment. and i am so relieved he was escorted out. i apologized to him later and i said, we will just work harder our own way. and so, i wanted to say that. the other thing that i wanted to say is that i have been looking at this whole business of tourists being attacked. when i live in hawaii, which i did do, hawaii came up with something, honolulu which
5:21 pm
worked. they were having these tourists who were coming and they were not actually being treated to the aloha spirit. they were being mugged on wakiki beach and we could not have that. well the bad guys that were out on bail having been mugged six or seven times are going to fly back from minnesota and came up with something that will work here in san francisco. the police department, the hotels and the airlines paid for airfare, hotel, these cards and so they were able to come back and testify, assaults on tourists dropped to nothing. so it works. so contact honolulu pd and if you contact say hi to the chief fradis i knew him when he worked in richmond, california and they insulted him and did not make him chief there, it
5:22 pm
was hawaii's gain, aloha, practice and make sure that if you want to go to hawaii get the kamaana rate, there is one and that is all that i am going to say, ten seconds to spare. i am good. missed you. >> thank you. >> good evening, >> good evening. brings to the forefront, people it is taser time and we dragged our feet for three years around here and it was in the chronicle and it was a great article and the police commission was dragging its feet and that is correct. we started with miss fong and chief granod went for it and the chief is going for it, we can't get a bolt in the police commission? what is the problem people? it is a simple vote. go and get it, i think that we have five members that will go for it, it is about time people. every day we waste is another live that we may lose, thank you. >> thank you, clyde. >> good evening.
5:23 pm
how is the tenderloin? >> well, you know what? i really want to talk to you about that. because i am very proud of law enforcement stepping in. on february 6th, 2013, that the police commissioners meeting, last month, i gave you paperwork and spoke with all of you about fighting crime as i always do. i would like to thank you for listening and acting quickly. a lot of good police officers answered the call of duty and i want to salute them. i love hard core law enforcement. you guys took a big bite out of crime during the month of february. i want it to continue. i am very proud of law enforcement for stepping hard on crime. i urge you to continue with tough action, it has to be. once again, i say stop and frisk is a must and you know why. hard core law enforcement must continue all crime must be punished don't let anyone get away with anything. keep stepping hard on crime, it
5:24 pm
is needed on a 24-7 basis. and i know that you need this, i know that you know it, and i know that we need a budget that supports that as well. and i want you to understand that i seriously believe in tactical law enforcement. it is a must as well. and i know my time is almost up, but i want to give you this, just to confirm what i am saying and i know at some point that you understand that you are going to have to go tactical. in certain areas. because of the crime. and once you start finding out more and more of what is going on in certain districts as you are, you will see that tactical law enforcement is a way. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> thank you. >> dear commissioners, i am sure that my comments are going to make over the last speaker. i am a project manager with
5:25 pm
urban division and it has been about a month and a half since the number of six street merchants and residents came to the commission to report on the safety issues on 6th street and i am here today to give you an update on what is going on. so in a nutshell, in a (inaudible) from one, from late january to late february, it was bad. but part two from late february to march so far is actually getting much better. so to illustrate from the part one i have actually a testimony that is a testimony from the sixth street merchant that it is about a number of incidents that occurred in february that were pretty gruesome. that is what i want to concentrate on tonight. it has been obvious that in the past week or ten days, there has been some significant attempt by sfpd to clean up 6th
5:26 pm
street and in the alleys and the uniform officers are present in the regular basis. the results are noticable and this morning in the 6th street of a normal street and maybe not 100 percent of normal, but at least this is aoe fish sently normal for the baser by to feel safe. so the hope is now that it will last and it has been to sfpdf to increase the foot control in the market from 8 to 24th starting march first and we are glad that is long awaited that the sfpd hub and it will be in a couple of days. so the message, to sfpd is please keep up the good work after the mayor's press conference is over on friday and so thank you for your attention today and we will see you next month. >> thank you very much. >> next speaker. >> good evening. >> how are you? >> commissioners, good evening, and ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
5:27 pm
i have been here for a few weeks and i kind of missed the tribunal here and i was looking around today and it was the poster of the bruce willis die hard and i kept saying he has a very serious face. and i think that he has lost some weight, either bruce willis is greg or greg is bruce willis, i will pass it around to you very quickly that i was looking at the police site, your website where you have an incorrection there. george (inaudible) did not invent comstot the mayor brought it here from wherever he came from, but the site said that he invented it and created it was wrong. the man who created it was in new york city kept charts on the various neighborhoods and on the crimes in that area. and turned is over to the new york pd. and they developed it and then it went across the country.
5:28 pm
mr. gaston just used part of it and developed his own and used it the way that he has also developed the neighborhood courts that were invented by castro in cuba. and secondly briefly is that i read an article in the new york times on cold blooded murder and it kind of hit me, because san francisco has 1000 unsolved murders. so, i sent a letter to the new york times that a woman that wrote us and also she wanted the new york in it and the new york pd to start opening cold cases. murders that were unsolved and now the link is that they have gotten hundreds and hundreds of cases from across the united states and other police departments going into new york and seeing the data base for unsolved murders and so i sent out a letter and copies of the letters that i am giving you on the story that i sent to the nypd and the new york city commission, the police commission, to share data bases because i know that san francisco is going back to the murder that was in the marina
5:29 pm
were i, i ded the murder not the suspect. the person that was murdered i had a chance to enter san francisco's investigation unit and i was kind of shocked and it looked like csi to me, it looks like the gun shoes of 1950, and i know that you are short 19 to 22 investigators. but i think that this city or the sfpd has a long way to dow go*e and to bring it back up to par and start to investigate the cold cases of murder. so i have connected a link between the nypd and san francisco, sent letters and asked them to contact and be sure to open that data base and whatever data base that had for to share it with you and actually maybe build a team to solve some of the unsolved murders in this city which go back to sergeant john young in 1971, when i exited the united states navy. i have copies of that story for all of you
