>> i knew nothing about what the people spoke about. we saw police officers indicted. these officers were on the force and doing a lot of other thing. i'm going to present to you a case. i'm going to say the officers answered to complaints to take a very hard look. they need to have somebody who is responsible independent and redo all the cases that these officers were involved in and see what the result was. i'm sure if he was alive, the officers and civilian complaints need to take a good hard look. i challenge you to get an independent person to

investigate. start with these cases the officers were involved in and see what their result was. i have a couple of other cases. i think they are incompetent. look at now they have officers that are shown what their like. see what officers civilian complaints when they are complaints were before that officer. i'm going to give you each a competent take. you are each responsible. if you have somebody review the cases and the officers, the officers were involved in. i'm going to pass this out to you. >> i will take it. thank you. >> thanks for the public comment. >> good evening, commissioners. good evening

chief, my name is jackie bryce on south of market and now i'm on the tenderloin. i have been working with captain chemiss. he's been very responsive, yes you are. i'm happy that the police commission made it to my house. i'm happy that you are here. i'm very unhappy with the hyperably. i'm the last one to comment. i'm very fact base. i'm not going to draw any conclusion until all facts are in. like they say in the tv crime shows, let the evidence lease -- lead us to the conclusion. thank you all

for being here. >> hello. my name is paulette brown and as always i'm at the police commission concerning my son. i do want to give my condolences to the family. my son was shot 30 times, not by police, but just by crime in the streets. i'm here because of these unsolved cases. these cases are unsolved and how long as parents are we going to suffer our children's loss? this pain never never never goes away. how long are we going to deal with it. it doesn't matter how they get killed, who killed them. think about the parents sitting at home every day and wonders what they could have done. should i been there. i wasn't

able to say good-bye to my child. this is what we think about. that family including me. when this is all over and those families are still at home suffering, whose going to be there for them who is going to come and say something to them we can all be angry. we are still suffering years and years down the line. this is what i'm up here saying and i'm at the police commission every wednesday when i'm make it. i have post traumatic stress disorder. i'm afraid to let my children out because i'm scared somebody is going to murder them. this is what i suffer everyday. think about the families. this is about we need to have some kind of

sympathy, some kind of training for this going on, some training needs to happen. >> any further public comment? public comment is now closed. i just want to say -- >> as a comment, my sympathy goes out to alex father and family and friends. i can't even tell you. i wish you didn't have to go through this. this happened too much and this happens over and over again. there is a massive gentrification as part of what happens here. the police, they do racially profile. the killing happens, they

investigate their owns, the cover up as we can hear earlier the cover upstarts at the scene of the crime. and this is not justice the facade that's happening right here and with you people it's the worse. the facade that's happening right here is inexcusable. it won't bring justice. every time the excuse is used, it's getting old. there is an uprising happening. and we won't stop. until there is justice until everyone of you is accountable. i'm sorry for your pain. >> the commission and

comment. we have a line there that is closed. public comment is close side. on behalf of the commission and i did this last night. i see mr. nieto present and you have been in our thoughts and prayers. you have been in my thoughts and prayers. we listened to what you have to say and it's fair to listen to what other people have to say. i was shutdown by people, there are three investigations. please don't tell me to shut up. i expect you to show me respect. everyone listened to you. i want to thank you all.

>> if in fact they don't cooperate like we cooperated. we had public comment. that's the most important thing we had to do then we can adjourn the rest of this commission. >> for those of you who came forward, all of you, we listened to what you said. people were taking knows. there is three investigations, the district attorneys office, the occ and the police department. the police commission reviews every officer involved shooting. there will be a presentation to us. and then there will be a follow up larger presentation to the firearms discharge review board and see the policy and procedure and if nothing is rubber stamped by this commission. take a look at this commission. we've come from different -- >> is there time for a murder? >> we are a group of people

that have a lot of experience in this field. i know it's tough. you are grieving right now. but at the end of the day, we are going to do our job and we'll give you our word to that. apparently nobody wants to listen. i'm going to turn it to the rest of the commissioners to share their thoughts. i apologize you only have 2 minutes. we needed some order. i want to thank you folks that did do that. >> commissioners, anyone else would like to speak? >> president mazzucco. i would definitely like to proceed with the rest of our agenda which which is for the commissioners to address however if we can't do that. our business that we have done for the rest of the community. if we could not do that, i would suggest we adjourn. >> i have some comments. this

is a second round of comments and i have to say my son died and i agree with you. it doesn't matter how they die. they die through violence, it's hurts every parent. it doesn't ever go away. when i say my condolences are with the family, i know what i'm speaking about. i heard it and i took knows -- notes, and i took notes last night. it's not fair for this chief. he's accessible and he's listening and he's here. we heard everybody and we need to go forward and see what changes we need to make, if there is policy decisions that need to be made, if there is cameras that really need. the cameras are a great idea because you can have a visual tool too make that assessment. this is

a tenderloin community meeting as well. for captain chemiss, i want to say job well done. the community policing seems to be working really well here and i don't want to take anything away from your community tonight because we heard what you had to say today and we appreciate that. and we have to be mindful of what's going on here and that is troubling and we have to look forward to that and we hope to move forward and make changes that need to be made. i'm looking forward to doing that. >> commissioner chan? >> i want to say thank you for coming here. it does break my

heart. i work at a non-profit. i do this on my day job. i understand and i get it. it feels awful. i know that chief sur being here two nights in a row hearing you, i do encourage this to continue, the questions, when you wanted us to ask because it's our job as a police commission to ask question at the fire and discharge and review board. that's our responsibility. we are not police officers. we are civilians. i have never gone through any police academy. our jobs in san francisco is that we are civilians that over see the police department and we are answering your questions and concerns. i myself will commit to asking those questions when it's time to do that. finally

i want to also reference captain chemiss, thank you for your presentation. it was a good presentation. i want to ask how many officers you have that speak different languages. i do want to know that there are more vietnamese officers. also i wanted to ask one question about crisis intervention team officers? i appreciate that you listed how many you have and you needed more but i wanted to ask this not only how many do you have but how often are they used? do you have any specific feedback story and crisis intervention that has worked in the past few years and training officers in the deescalation in training officers when it's possible and i know myself and the commission cares deeply about. are we actually using these officers in this training. that is the question i have

and i will close myself with that. >> i did anticipate that you were going to ask how many. we are trying to advance and get more officers cit trained. i don't have the answers for you as to how they are dispersed nor how they are being deployed. >> thank you. i appreciate the transfer. i do believe that is the next step in not only are we training officers and are they deployed in the skills that are being used and what happens with those responses. that's it. >> anything further, commissioners? >> next line item no. 5. >> line item 5, adjournment. >> can i have a motion? >> so moved. >> all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> we are adjourned. [ meeting is adjourned ]

>> >> supervisor chiu: i fully appreciate the concerns raised by some tenant leaders. i would never supported the project if i did not feel comfortable that tenant rights have been protected here with parker said -- part merced. i say this as one of the few tenants on the board of supervisors, who has been a staunch advocate of tenants before i was elected and with my votes on this board. my parents immigrated to the united states in the 1960's, and i was the first kid born in the u.s.

my parents sacrificed everything so that their kids could have the opportunities that they wanted when they came here. i grew up in the boston area, live in different parts of boston, went to a catholic high school in dorchester, which is a section of boston. because of my parents work and the opportunities they gave me, my brothers and i were all blessed to go to harvard university. it was intense. i stayed there for college, for law school, and i also have a master's in public policy there. those are subjects i decided to study in part because i was very interested in public service and public policy issues and government. i ran for office in part because i wanted to serve the city and really protect all that is so special about what san francisco is. >> we've been talking for years about how important it is to build new neighborhoods, to develop affordable housing, make sure we have transit-oriented sustainable green development

that really is worthy of a 21st century san francisco. what we're doing today -- and, frankly, what we're doing this year will have impacts on the city for decades to come. thank you all for being part of this, and i look forward to that mid-cutting. i moved to san francisco 15 years ago for all the reasons that we all love our city. our cable cars. our hills. the diversity of our neighborhoods. and have loved every minute of being here. >> like many of you here, i did not actually grow up in san francisco. i grew up in another part of the country that was not quite as tolerant or quite as diverse. san francisco drew me, as i think it through all of us, because we live in a very special place. i just want to say on behalf of the board of supervisors -- we have a special responsibility and a special leadership role in the world. as we come together, we symbolize all of this date we

have in humanity, the faith we have in the fight for civil rights, the faith we have, frankly, as a common family. >> i consider myself someone who shares the progress of value that need san francisco's -- many san franciscans hold dear. >> i do believe that a majority of this board share the same progressive values, and i think there is a danger and an overly narrow definition of what is progressive. we have to remember that being progressive stance for values of inclusiveness, of tolerance, of acceptance, and we need to think hard about how we characterize various votes of either being within that definition or outside of that. >> before i ran for office, i worked in san francisco as a criminal prosecutor and a civil- rights attorney and really got

to understand how much of a beacon to the rest of the world san francisco is for social justice. i also been spent a number of years helping to grow a small business, got to understand the innovative spirit here in san francisco. at night, i volunteered as a neighborhood association leader and also as the chair of an affordable housing organization and learned so much about the challenges facing our neighborhoods and facing a really special tools that are the urban villages that we live in. sen for assistance -- facing really the special jules -- jewels that are the urban villages that we live in. san franciscans during campaigns read everything they are sent in the mail. love to meet candidates. a gauge with them in conversations. i also learned how important it is to build bridges between communities, particularly

communities of diversity we have. i was just incredibly honored to have been elected in november 2008. my district really encompasses the ethnic and economic diversity that exists throughout the city. as a result, i think my district is really emblematic of the entire city. you can find every political perspective that you could possibly want in district 3. so oftentimes, the interest of my district and the city really are quite a line, so i do not have to think about this difference is probably quite as often as some of my colleagues may have to. i in particular want to thank the mayor for his decision to protect our nutrition programs. this is something that i think we all believe is incredibly important at a time when we have seen massive federal and state cuts, for us to hold the line locally and stand up in the city of st. francis for our seniors and our nutrition programs and families. i think we have a lot of challenges right now. we are still in the midst of the

great recession. we all know way too many folks who are struggling in a minimum wage jobs pirouette of folks who have been laid off at work. i think as a city, we need to do much better at creating an environment where we have more jobs and more economic development. i know that all of us are committed to ensuring that we have a budget that not only provides basic city services that we have come to expect but make sure that we take care of our most vulnerable. whether it be our at-risk use, our seniors, are disabled, our working families, folks who are out of work. i know something that every public servant who is here is committed to. adding with all come together as a board, as a city. we should come together as san franciscans, and, colleagues, at this time, i hope, and i asked that we unanimously vote for ed lee to be our next mayor.

this is also a historic day for the asian-american community. for a community that has been here in santa francisco, for over 160 years, i am a product of that community. i know the ed and all of us of asian-american decent feel the legacy. i want to thank all of you who have been part of this historic moment to make this happen. and say that this is obviously not just about a chinese- american community or an asian american community. this is about the american dream. the idea that anyone of any background of any color from any part of the globe can come here and sunday be at the very top of what our community is about -- and someday be at the very top

of what our community is about. hey guys nona that week with the businesses it was the birsdz are christopher and is bees busing this is the weekly buzz pr this friday evening is the 2014th opening needed i invite at the golden gate park and it will have panel discussions and film screenings and more plus the observation tower will be open and saturday head to selma and joy a day of fitness and enroll in a basketball tournament and all ages and fit levels are welcome and get a great work out and on sunday

grab your farther walking shoes for contemporary photo walk through the mission and take great pictures bring a camera or borrow one. and that's the weekly buzz. for more information on those event visit us at >> to address these concerns, i have made a series of amendments to the resolution that capture the spirit of the policy but would allow continued conversation with the task force and other stakeholders about how we do metering. i believe strongly that the city needs to start developing toes to help create affordable housing. in our housing element alone, we

talk about building a 60% affordable, but we are currently not doing that. it is important to start the discussion about creating tools of measuring our affordable housing and creating tools to enforce that. i grew up in new york city, one to my parents who had immigrated here to the u.s. actually, i started really becoming active in working with the community when i was in high school. came out to california for college, went to stanford. i was always politically involved. when i was a college student, i worked on the initiative to get rid of affirmative action in our public government system. currently, we have 3 legislative items that are pending. the first is going to be coming to a final vote on tuesday, our mid-market uptown tenderloin task exemption legislation.

it is basically an incentive to encourage businesses to come to mid-market. in particular, where we have the highest commercial vacancy. and then when i graduated, moved out to san francisco about 12 years ago. i always loved sanford cisco in college, and i just wanted to try it out. i started working in economic development policy. i was a community organizer for six years. i worked with young people, parents, and families around issues that concern our neighborhoods, whether it was improving muni lines, affordable housing, public schools, or just planning issues in neighborhoods. we just had a hearing last week, and we are trying to do some work around bedbug enforcement, which is a major issue in the tenderloin and of hill and 63. a hearing will actually be on thursday, april 7, 10:30.

we're doing our first hearing on pedestrian safety. i think public safety is a huge concern. it ranges from both low-level crimes to pedestrian safety, and so that is a really important issue to me. we are probably more than double what every other district has. and that are preventable. and we can do better. district 6 is one -- home to one of the most diverse constituencies. we have the poorest residents in san francisco. we have lgbt. we have immigrants, people of color, youth, and a high proportion of seniors in the city as well. we heard that people want to see more jobs, want to see access to more jobs for our residents. we want to see more preventive instead of just reactive. we want to see after-school programs versus the police picking them up because they are out on the street, which i think our chief agrees with. i actually ran for the board of

education in san francisco and got to serve a term on our school board. what really surprised me was how much i enjoyed it. i loved it. i love meeting with families, meeting with youth, meeting with teachers, visiting schools, and getting a deeper understanding of what it means to make our system work better. the one thing i really enjoyed was i got to run within a district instead of citywide, was that i really got to know voters and residents. i actually enjoy campaigning more because i had time to knock on doors and the voters individually. i'd love it. i actually really enjoyed being out on the field. so i spent a lot of time doing it because i got to really get a deeper understanding of what people care about and what people's concerns are and also what people loved about the district and the city. i was talking with the mayor yesterday.

he was very interested in seeing how the good work with our office -- how he could work with our office. i would love to see how we could support small businesses because they are the heart at san francisco. they provide 60% 07% of the jobs in sanford cisco, and they provide it locally, and they are not going to offshore their jobs any time. i am not an opponent of cleaning up the tenderloin. i love the tenderloin. i love what is right now. i recognize we have a diversity of books that live there and people do not want to see open drug dealing. i do not have a problem with people lit think -- people out on the street socializing. i think that is good. that to me is more -- you know, it is part of the character of the neighborhood. i get to represent one of the most exciting and dynamic districts in the city. it is where change is happening, so i think it is exciting in terms of how we can model what it means to be a smart growth neighborhood, how we can use transit and housing effectively

to serve our city and also to do a lot of the new green policies that we have developed over the last 10 years. >> would you go ahead and call the order. roll call. commissioner adams. commissioner brandon. commissioner murphy. commissioner ho is traveling and excused. approval of minutes for the march 14 meeting. second. so moved. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. all opposed. public comment on executive
