5:35 am
(clapping.) >> next speaker >> hello thank you very much for hosting and i think it is apparent there's a lot of frustration i think it is only the real dialog that appears to be able for the people to have with that commission and officers as far as i joined the black, brown organizations to try to foster more of a sense of dialog what we need to do i'm a criminal defense attorney and worked on 4 homicides since i've moved here and the possession of firearm ape a capital case affordable unit on hate street 2 doesn't change the crime in the neighborhood and most recently a witness in the aftermath of a hot in january where i saw people die on the street and
5:36 am
officers trying to help that was a brutal scene obviously i joined the black and brown orientation to try to change it i'm part of the steering committee with the folks for blind justice and we're trying to get together to think of how to build community and we recognize this is not just the officers but the community as well we can tell you a number of suggestion with resdrith was not one we had many, many, many we are expressed and many expressed on national news but this was not the problem in our minds we preempted a list of many things if i can say the main point it is done differently it has to be community-based and they want foot patrol and talk to people
5:37 am
establish a dialog wows without the frustration we can work towards something a 15 year plan might be doable. >> thank you very much (clapping). >> well reverend good evening. >> chair and commissioners arnold referring arnold townsend. >> president of the economic council i'll say a couple which things to you number one we appreciate the redistricting i certainly do it has been cumbersome we've been split between two stations has made it difficult to get things done but once again that is not the major issue i think the major issue the problems we have in our community can't be solved unless
5:38 am
we work together (clapping.) and we say that thank you but we say it all the time but i mean work together and get it done that means everything has to give a little bit and take a little bit if we're going to get it done we're going to have to do some things as at police department may not be the way to do it but the coordination from the community is not going to kill you in the community we're going to have to recognize it or not we're going to have to find a way to work together if this thing is going to be solved we're waiting to hear from chief in a recommendation that will help the department i'm especially concerned buyout sensitivity a report came out yesterday on the
5:39 am
study of the california police department talking about how many officers make judgements on people by the race with the kind of system and the tv and the nonsense and the internet saying all kinds of things by all people that is natural if you put me in the castro to police it i'm a sensitive guy i'd need some extra training to do that properly that didn't eutest my character or make me a weak person i don't know how ever culture in america operates i don't know everything i need to know to handle it in the right way it's absolutely important and we - >> sir, your time is up. >> the last line even if you
