officers with their guns on me so i was approached by 8 officers with guns on me and forced me to the ground and give me all diversity demands in regards to an african-american being involved in a shooting. i knew nothing about it i was just coming home from work. it was a terrorizing night it was a night i'll never forgot. i've been going through so much after this incident. i'm sorry everybody just to think of it hurt me because the force on this particular night i saw my life particle flash before me with 8 guns drawn on

me for no reason other than the color of my skin that's the only thing i could think of. for a person who works everyday who has no criminal activity a law-abiding citizen. i participate in organizations of community organizations that help people. i'm not going to say what i do but i've been doing it now b for about 6 months to help the community. just reasoning about this from time to time it hurts to bad to know that those officers almost took my life for no reason at all. it hurts to bad to know that when i come home from work each night i have to hide. and hope and pray i don't see

any police officers when i come home at night because the fear is in me that was was injured in the process i had to miss a month from work and put on light duty and still on light duty. i lost a job position because i was on light duty. i had to see a counselor for post traumatic stress. i've been touching out to all types of organizations throughout san francisco different attorneys and different people and city hall knows me. i've been reaching out to anybody that can help me with the situation speaker i've been trying to calm it down. well, the - i have to get on

with this but how does life move on who people we pay to protect us almost took a person's life for no reason other than the color of my skin. it hurts me to my heart to know that each night i get off of work i have to duck the police officer out of fear that those officers are going to come back and selfish what they started. as we know >> sir, excuse me you had 3 minutes and in fairness to other people who want to speak. >> sir, i want to say on behalf of the commission certainly we don't understand all the circumstances that happened that night certainly, if you could spend a couple of minutes b with

the chief if you could spend a few moments with them. thank you for bringing this to our attention >> hi i have some staff. i thought there might be a slide if i could just hand this out to the commission >> good evening commissioners i've dave. i've served on this c pad. i've lived in knob hill for the last 15 years and currently represent knob hymn hill on the t pad. but sadly it's becoming home to

more and more downstrokes and party buses couped by absolutely inastrological things to the over saturation of liquor licenses. now have a quick look at the statistics. i didn't make up those numbers. in 2010 i started tracking the number of liquid licenses and drew some comparisons between san francisco and los angeles to have some kind of benchmark between two major cities in california. i think the facts shakespeare

speak for themselves. even though la is larger than san francisco san francisco has nearly 6 times the number of liquor licenses and 3 times the number of liquor licenses in la. and in 2010 central districts that several asbestos absent licenses. in 2012 there were 6 hundred and 39 liquor licenses and that's a 24 percent increase and as of today there's seven hundred and 34 that's a fourteen percent increase over last year. it's hard to explain to the members of the community why it this happening. something has got to be done to bring the community back into the evacuation to make sure that

every a bit abc license is thoroughly reviewed by the local permit officer the beat officers the central station and city commanding officers as well as the stakeholders. we need for accountability. those are significant facts we live here, no more abc licenses unless it gears to the authority state. it doesn't seem like too many people are paying attention to those mandate limits. for promoting responsible drinking has been proven for crime prevention and alcohol is the finest partner in crime. thank you >> thank you.

(speaking foreign language) >> i'm speaking in chinese. >> (speaking foreign language). >> i am one of the member of an association in chinatown. last year in november 10th and 11 on those two days - >> at washington 840. >> speaking foreign language). >> at the time there was two

enjoying our freedom. >> (speaking foreign language). >> this may when we have the consultant of the chinese came visiting i was trying to have a chance to greet the console but i was prevented from doing so. >> (speaking foreign language). >> i asked the person i have been a member for over 20 years in good standing i have never been involved in any illegal activities why are you preventing me from meeting the

console? >> so the rely was in order to prevent the console no any other people can be allowed entry. >> (speaking foreign language). >> during the process even though there was schedules of elections for the officers of the association those election was not allowed to proceed and for an association with my 2000 membership you are deceiving us of our freedom.

>> (speaking foreign language). >> the person involved in the crime there was one particular person who are actively canadian and not a u.s. citizen. >> (speaking foreign language). >> i have returned to report a similar situation to our mayor, mayor lee and also for 3 times a visit the library and a trying to report to a congressmen.

>> (speaking foreign language). >> the councilman listened to my report and i have written him a letter but almost for six months now i have not heard from him. >> (speaking foreign language). >> i really want to know what the events is going to be resolved and i asked the

authority to maybe convene some kind of a hearing so we can make this matter more open for all concerned. >> (speaking foreign language). >> well, the matter of - we have not seen any result from the investigation nor do we see - >> sir sorry your time is up. >> oh, thank you and a thank you very much. >> we'll have the captain look into that for us.

>> good evening commissioners. >> good evening. >> i'm daren a long time resident of north beach and live along the corridor. >> i can't hear you. >> okay. i, speak closer to the microphone. i'm here to address the ongoing issues particularly this large group of chronic offenses that the sf pd team are aware of. they live in the neighborhood lawlessly. this group gets move forward from neighborhood to neighborhood. their behavior goes inbaited and it covers public urination and i've photographed a gentleman your nate in washington square

park in front of everybody. those are officers. folks straddle across the sidewalk basically becoming a nuisance. it's at the same spot everyday. there's aggressive pan handles. i witnessed on every corner of columbus and stockton and green every corner was covered. one particular group by this usually suspect of chronic offenders that are looking to get money for alcohol they have a funnel so tourist were forced to walk between them all they were aggressively asked for money and basically pit fear into the lives of those tourists trying to enjoy sunday afternoon. those are regular occurrences. i totally appreciate we have a

homeless group but we do have those identifiable groups. there needs to be a way to solve that. there's two ends of the spectrum one end of the spectrum they that slightly don't want help and the other i understand of the spectrum there's more of a health and services path for them. at the end of the day most of those folks don't want any help so they got out and do whatever they want. there's has to be a approach. i know that captain tom is working with the various community organizations and also with mary recess and it's a citywide issue. we have a known that quantity in the neighborhood how can you help us help with the

supervisors supervisor chu and with the district attorney and police department to make sure we have the right tools and let this group know that unbaited lawlessness is not traffic tolerated. thank you >> thank you. >> good evening. good evening commissioners. is that good. i'm a member of the central c >> i pledge allegiance to the flag pad i'm also part of the police advisory board. captain tom mentioned it in his talk. i'm also part of the group to bring some change to board way. we're very happy with the group that the central police has been doing to contain the activities particularly on the weekend.

we noticed some other activities i've spoken to captain tom but it's precociously out of the jurisdiction of his officers. in the last year we've seen a big very blatant increase in prostitution and drug dealings down on broadway i'm not saying on a wednesday night. friday or saturday night it's right there in the open. you can't miss that. i've lived in san francisco all my life i know what someone looked like when they're selling drugs and a proscription. if you see a prostitution on tv i candlelight miss it. i know those are victim less crimes but it's amazing this is just happening out in the open. i know there used to be something call narcotics.

i can appreciate the sfpd is understaffed but are we just going to let those issues go a free-for-all. i know that those prostitution and narcotics are considered victimless crime. it's not the case the victims are the neighborhoods and the residents of the neighborhoods. it sends a mess that the neighborhood is a certain type of neighborhood. that they can go unpunished and it opens the door for more crime to come in. so i'm just asking is there i understand you're under staffed is there not a way to address some of this through either vice or narcotics or, you know, sort

of restaffing those areas that's it. thank you >> everything that's been said is being noted and i guarantee this will all be addressed tomorrow. >> and there's ways to work on special problems which they know already. >> yes hello and good evening and police officers and everybody here. i'm johnny represent the managers association of san francisco. so as the good captain mentsz in his speech we represent the most prominent trans american picture madding mid. within our organization the members are very active. we try to help the police

department train their officers. we've run programs and we find value in the partnership. i'm here to highlight one particular officer i have to say that captain tom is one of the best officers we've had in our preparation committee with his monthly updates. he's hilarious and the information is pertinent to the entire police district a that's central to thank you captain on behalf of our members and the industry commissioners thank you four what i do >> thank you (clapping) good evening commissioners. >> good evening captain tom. i brought oh, about 8 of our

seniors i want them to stand up and applaud. thank you four protecting and taking care of of our most vulnerable population in chinatown but one of our most valuable assets. thank you very much for bringing our officers to have tea and most important to be their friends. we acknowledge that the chinese elderly who don't speak english are solemnly reporting crimes. we have a lot of staff, you know, and volunteers that will help them dot reporting and interpret for them and make sure they're not victims. the blessing scam one of the victims came to the hefrltd for the elderly and we called an

interpreter and went to the court to make sure that the case was thoroughly heard. unfortunately those cases are very, very difficult to prosecute so our females in china town in san francisco are continuing to be victims. we want to thank you to make as many arrests as you can. our elderly sometimes are ashamed of being victimized. their family blamed them formal spending their whole savings you, you know, and all the valuable jeweler and whatnot and brought it over to those perps and i asked the officers to

treat them with respect and kindness. we've talked about this blessing scam a hundred times on radio station and television and his officers also come to our senior centers and talked about it really. yet their elderly their isolated and they don't read the newspaper or watch tv we hope you, you will continue to protect the seniors. i have to echo every speaker that central station has the best captain the most caring were we run a wellness program we rented that clubhouse from the park and rec and garrett knows we've been calling for help especially, when there

their thirty officers we're still borthd by the people who want to come in and bother the seniors. it's a difficult situation. we want to stay at the clubhouse and run programs for the elderly but we'll have to get a lot of cooperation and help to do our work without the smokers who pump that both our program. we've had a lot of help and we'll continual rely on you. thank you very much for coming to chinatown. it gives us an opportunity to express our needs and appreciation >> thank you, ms. chung for

coming tonight. i know that some self help for the elderly help to train the officers. thank you for spending the time on the weekend to provide that assistance.
