5:57 pm
it does not matter, it is somebody's child and i should not have to think about this every day of my son's face being lifted off of him in the autopsy. he does not look, he looks like an old man right here. he is only 17 years old, i want justice, i want whatever i got to do. those names that i showed you, people gave those names. witnesses gave those names to people so that they said, who shot my son. what more do we need? >> thank you. >> thank you, miss brown. >> >> good evening jackie. >> my name is jackie bryson, for those of you who are new to this galaxy and has been in another galaxy far, far away for the last year or so. i come because i too am seeking justice, i am seeking justice
5:58 pm
for jackie and making sure that what happened to me will not happen again. i told you last time that a appeared before you that i had been evicted out of the (inaudible) apartments and i see that as temporary and the opportunity to kick some serious butt and i learned from a city official who at this point shall remain nameless at one of the reasons that i was evicted from the apartment was that, she called, the police regarding drug dealing too much. end of quote. and the official, yes, you may, we have a moment of chuckle here. >> yes, you may. and the official who told me this, response was, there is no such thing as calling too much, because of drug dealing. well, i learned about the whistle blower program here in san francisco, and it is through the controller's office. and the beauty of the controller's office and the
5:59 pm
whistle blower's program is that there ain't no such thing as a statute of limitations and what i learned about two of these non-profits one being tender loin neighborhood development corporation which is very anti-, police, that is when they started getting a new, general building supervisor and her name is leslie, molina and she came and she had her first, she was left to play home alone in the management office, at the apartments. and her first community meeting was in december of 2010. well, i had invited sfpd to come and make a little presentation to the tenants to get the tenants know that the san francisco police department had not forgotten about them and if you see the illegal activity or suspicious activity or feeling unsafe, call us and we will come back and they did not get a flu shot and so he got the flu.
6:00 pm
and so instead of a commander we got two lieutenants and from that point on there was a target on my back. you are worth it and i will do it again. and through the controller's office, and since i learned that both tnbc and luther social services are in violation of 12 l which is the administrative code requiring the minimum of two public board of director's meetings per year and that those were to be noticed to the clerk of the board of the supervisors and the public library, they are in violation of that which could cost them the funding, ain't life grand, thank you. >> thank you, jackie. >> good evening. as you know, my name is maria daily, and before i start in on how we need more tough hard core law enforcement in the tender loin, i would also like to address the teriville police station, i gr
