ascend from them. and i want to thank you for your demonstration of that and providing a lifetime experience that will shape their futures it is a wonderful program and thank you so much. >> thank you. >> dr. marshall? >> you know i had you guys on the show and it was great and it was so great and i know that this is limited to san francisco and the bay view, but you know i have a bunch of calls from people all over the bay area who want to go on this trip. you naturally made an impact. why don't you say about the process that they went through, and you just picked yours out of, you know. >> right. >> why don't you talk about the process and the selection process and i thought that was really fascinating. >> yeah. >> the selection process was a

three part process, one of the parts where they had to write a letter or an essay, explaining why they want to go, and why they should be selected. the second part they had to maintain a 2.0 gpa. and in the third part was they have to display good behavior at school as well as at the boys and girls club. the requirement for the 2.0 was i think as far as next time, not sure if that will be part of the requirement because like i said one young lady after she got a passport and a ticket and everything come to find out she was not even in school. and we thought of her going now, she was going to school and have the gpa is over a 2.0. and so it might be something that somebody needs to, you know, to get their grades up. >> and i think that the point

that i wanted to make was that there was preparation, which i felt was key. and a lot of thought went into that. and i know that you talked about, you know, the impact that it had on the young people, but having seen you and the other adults in the studio, i don't know who got the most out of it, you guys or the kids? really. and it comes through here, and even as you are speaking now. and i told the kids, and i use the phrase a lot the world is bigger than the block. >> yeah. >> the most important piece of it, is their academic diplomas that she can get is their passport and i mean, obviously, for me, history and culture is just the basis of who i am and what i do. and so but for you to take them actually there, i mean, that is greater than anything that they read in a book and you read in a book. so we are going to make it

happen again, and you know, he has already kicked himself and i am working on something bigger that i mentioned to you earlier to try to make this a... >> and i am working on it and i am working on it because it is just, it is just a marvelous thing and lastly, let me just, say, that all of you out there, who paint the police with one brush, this is a police officer who did this, okay? this is a police officer, and this is the police, and i don't want to hear that, all right? i don't want to hear it. this is a police officer, sanctioned by the police chief, okay? and so it may have been the gray, and it is a great public relations thing for the department. other departments might want to try it and we know that we are doing it in san francisco and we applaud you and the chief for backing this thing and i can't think of anything, for these young people, a better thing to do and the key thing is to do it again and again and

again and again. so we are going to work on that. >> okay. >> and just real quick, the or another thing that the kids came up with, after experiencing that they all have jobs this summer, they decided to pitch in and put a kid through high school. i would be remiss in our other partner in the back there being all quiet, sullivan and the current captain in the bay view and we were both on our, and saying our, come on, jj please come back with 7 kids. anxious moments for the bay view station, but we never had to doubt, rod? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so any way, but rob, thank you for, you know, getting them across the finish line, too. >> commissioner loftus? >> yeah. jj. officer johnson, chief, captain sullivan, you know, this is just such a lesson to me and i feel like in the time that i

have known you on the commission, i have learned a lot and one of those things is that you have this bold idea where there is a million different points that you could just say that this is not going to work and whenever you are trying to do anything in the world and what i am just amazed by is that the level of difficulty in pulling this off. and you know, i sometimes i have to take the kids up to sacramento to testify before the assembly and i am panicked to have them in the car for 90 minutes and i am a mother of three. and so taking the leap, and bringing people into it and making them a part of this and then having just the kurage, and it is what you stand for, you stand for the future for these kids and they know that and you are a powerful stand for them and it is such a point of pride for this department, i can't, i can't tell you how proud i am to serve on this commission, and i can't tell you how proud i am of this city that you are an officer here and frankly, the fact that the command staff and the captain and the chief are behind this is exactly what dr. marshall

said, it is just, we spend a lot of time talking about what does not work about the police, but this is one of the most powerful examples of what does work and you guys care about and stake your life, and in a lot of sleepless nights on behalf of the command staff sfo these kids and so you have my congratulations any way that i can help. >> i have a feeling that julia is going to invite me to a fund-raiser. >> behind you, thank you. >> and thank you for sharing your experience. >> thank you. and jj i want to tell you the impact, that this had on 7 students and i know that they were on dr. marshall's show on street soldiers, are they going to return this when they return back to school, i noticed where you went to school and i saw the track uniform that you are wearing, are you going to share that with the fellow students? >> yeah, i did. i primarily shared it with my history class and just kind of my teacher was really interested because that is what we were learning about at the time and to hear it first hand because we are learning about

the atlantic slave trade and i was able to give the brutal truth and for me that was orewarding because i know that a lot of kids are sheltered and don't understand and i can't say that i have understood because i have been reading the same textbooks my entire life and not fully understanding how strong and how proud i should be to be of african decent. and so to actually go to my class and share with all of my, you know, peers exactly what has happened in the unspoken truth, was just more rewarding than anything. >> i have to say that i am working on, i got a pretty good relationship with the school district, and at this point, pretty good. and really good, so i am working on it with the officers now, on getting into schools, and to talk to the young people. and as early as september. and when they get back in. and so, are you, where are you currently and what school are you currently in?

>> at saint ignatious. >> oh, you are at si? >> yes. >> go cats. >> so, we will work on getting, you know, maybe a little bit of release time, so that you can come and talk, because we have got to get this, back and get you in front of the young people right away when the school starts, so we will work on that too. >> thank you. >> we are working on that, a video too as well. to show the family and friends. what took place and how they were impacted and the video is almost complete, and in early august, we are looking at a showing and so i will be sure to get all of you guys the location so that you can come out. >> and will do. >> we will be there. >> thank you, jj, i am very proud of you. >> iesha great job.

>> call line item 2 b. >> occ director's report. discussion, and review of recent activities. >> director hicks? >> good evening, president mazzucco. and commissioner, and chief suhr and members of the audience, on sunday in the parade and marching in mayor lee's, and i have no recent activity to report this evening, but next week i will present the june comprehensive statistical reports and related reports. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> call line item number 2 c, which is commission reports commission president's reports, and commissioner's reports. and i have nothing to report. and for this week, commissioners do you have anything that you would like to report? >> commissioner loftus? >> susie.

>> that is okay. >> on behalf of my fellow commissioner turman, we proudly participated with the pride alliance of sfpd in the pride parade. and it was like the chief said i think not only the largest pride that i have been in, but so full of great energy, and joy, and the police officers i noticed that there was a lot of photographs of them and all of the joy that they were exhibiting and i want to thank the pride alliance for including us and i think that julia also has a sash, and so i am glad to see that special treatment for the vice president and it was a beautiful day to be in san francisco and i was able to have two of my kids with me and some friends and it was a wonderful celebration and i think that the department as usual did a great job of maybing sure that every community recognizes that this department sees them in the city and represents them and represented by the community, it is a beautiful day. anything that i missed vice

president >> i should add for those who watched on tv it was great to see the commentator was inspector from the police department and it was proud to see that the police department was at the forefront of this. >> she did a great job by the way. >> i have to tell you if you are giving shouts out, nobody passed up chuck lynberg of the southern station, had the crowds and tens and tens of thousands of people whipped into such of a lather that it was unbelievable and it was getting one side of the street to go against the other side of the street. and he had this truck with a sound system and it was, i mean that we were absolutely a item in the parade, we are not just participants, it was fun. >> great. >> thank you, everybody. >> line two d. >> commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings.

next week, we are dark, that is july 9th. and also, the week after is the third wednesday, and we are dark also and then the next meeting will be the 23rd, and in the mission district at james link middle school which is 1220 noah street and that is 6:00 p.m. on the 23rd. >> the reason that we are going dark is that we will be complete without the commission staff and the chief will be getting some training, and the well needed training and the f.b.i. academy and train them and any commissioners that are on vacation at that time of year and so i apologize to everybody, but it is july and things are going to slow down a bit. >> commissioner loftus? >> i just have one request, we do have a quarterly statistics from the about the bicycle pedestrian safety resolution that we did. so, i want to give us enough time to have some time to look at that data with the folks and then present it. so i don't know if there is a

date that works in august. and inspector monroe that works with the calendar? >> the 6th or the 13th? and when the district on the 27th? >> and so the 6, 13, or 27. >> okay, if this or my colleagues are okay, if we could hold the 13th, so that we can make sure that there is enough time, to bring that quarterly report focus. >> and i will be meeting with the attorney office regarding the first amendment of the police officers and put that together and that should be happening next week. >> okay. >> it is now time for public comment on-line items 2 a, b, c, or d. >> any public comment regarding that incredible report by officer jefferson? hearing none, public comment is closed. call line item number three.

>> adjournment. >> in the complain that i filed i have yet to get papers over what happened over the period of a year and a half and as my federal case moves forward on the police incident i requested documentation on that report from the occ. and in the past, there has been a habit between the sfmta and not the police commission, by the way but they have lost several of my requests, and almost nonstop and so i am giving this commission, seven copies of my request as well as the copy of the letter to gregory under wood who was the investigator. i thank you for your time on that issue. >> thank you, neal.
