people beaten and abused on video camera what you failed to mention is a huge decrease this crime from 1994 to the present if anything violent crimes are down -- excuse me nonproperty crimes larceny is going down so therefore what you are trying to say population -- excuse me -- i'm out of time i tried to rush this i can't express myself so rushed -- >> if you could back up the data you said around the difference in crime between 1994 and today where did you pull your information from? >> thank you. that information was pulled from the california department of justice statistics center which notes a huge decline in property crimes and larceny from 1994

and 2013 >> do you think the population increase has to do with crime >> i think the population increase has nothing to do with policing whatsoever. it doesn't happen through policing it happens through economics education and opportunity if people have no reason to commit crimes there is no reason to police them. more so excuse me if i may to further address your question about the population increase that seems to be the most important pertaining matter the crime rate has gone down as the population has gone up this talk this notion we increase the police force with further increase population statistic loo is not correct. there is no statistical basis by which to ask for more police officers because there is more people moving here.

i think most of us in this room know the people moving here we know what demographics that cerritos that is not the population that comes into contact with police officerses now we have district ten is where a lot of the proposed changes are going to occur but district ten is in dire need of education in dire need of economic and job opportunities that are not being present inned this resolution >> thank you very much. next speaker please? >> my name is [inaudible] borne and raised in district ten in the district for bayview point i'm against this police station as somebody that worked on economic and racial justice this

is negative - -- and your data but all three cosponsors has implications for my community in the bayview population increase is in-- what good does that do if there is a low clearance on crimes so cops don't make our community safer it's a band aid to the deeper issues we shouldn't be throwing more money without looking how ineffective there is ix been six months of of the year there is ten cases of miss conduct and corruption. murder of low pes and beaten

homeless people and pushing paraplegics in the street i don't think so we can't trust san francisco police department in the neighborhood if you want to highest concentration of black and terri people that makes no sense you will have a significant impact on the community does not trust the police department if my community knew about this we be here packing the room we have committee people willing to sacrifice her time the -- clean our communities -- (speaking off the mic) imupset. at the bayview shipyard there are thousands of people that are neglecting the needs of the community. a fair needs of [inaudible]

prevent crime not cops [applause] >> thank you. before the next speaker we have a board rule at the board of supervisors asking people not to boo or applaud positive or negative so we can have everyone say their piece and have public comment occur feel to do thumbs up thumbs down spirit fingers whatever you want to do we ask that rule be followed. next speaker. >> (speaking off the mic) >> can't hear you. >> the most importantly i'm a long time resident of lake view -- >> can you start from the beginning? that is how the members not in the room can can hear what you are saying start from the beginning >> madame clerk can you restart the time please? >> my name is raima calawa i

stand for here bike way chapter i'm a long time resident of san francisco i come with surgeon concerns with the police staffing policy as a black resident in san francisco i'm deeply disturbed telling you the trauma my family has experienced at the hands of sfpd the proposal to at 262 police officers to the san francisco especially to treasure point which is the highest population of black people as the city of san francisco as they work hard to push latinos and blacks out of the city -- is to protect the luxury housing how the local government uses the police to protect the needs over current

needs of families -- add economic resources that will serve as aye prevention to the crimes that coauthors claim they need more police to govern we know the police is a driving force of gentrification to wipe out the poor homeless and youth using gang junctions as a tool as how sheriff's get rid of us as an organizers have been brutalizing we know cops are not the answer malia of district ten should take a strong stance we need you to step up and address the migration of black people and issues in the community and stop passing band aids that has nothing to do with the community. thank you.

>> thank you. next speaker >> i want this board to focus on police quality versus quantity you say there say police decrease you should walk in my shoes there has been increased 16th corridor they're being harassed by police. why? because that corner is able to be taken over by google at 16th street -- more than 200 police officers here and contrary to cohen said my brothers keeper program has not started for every one you hire you can hire three community workers you should look at other police departments, like richmond how to not profile

>> [foreign language] >> interpreter: okay. not only just in some areas in san francisco but including especially when people talk about our money and cal pen especially the western left there they really feel unsecure in that area especially the police and the security there. so we hope that you can can increase our security by increasing the staffing also can make us feel safety in san

francisco. thank you. >> thank you. since the previous speak erp said she had the flu can you turn that microphone away. i recommend people use the longer microphone. since she said she had the flu. [laughter] >> [foreign language] >> interpreter: i'm happy to

or the murders of people of color like rici and right here in the city the police department does a lot of harassment for homeless and transgender 3 groups which i belong to -- to police the homeless we should invest in the housing instead of putting more bullies on the street will cost the taxpayers and blow up the city's budget. and poor people being unable to pay so called broken window citation more cops with more marginalized

marginalized. a lot of people in the lg pt especial loo in the t get harassment if you are going support over policing for krillzation or gentrification and and. you do not support lgbt rights you do notsan francisco's right mr. weiner. >> okay next speaker >> i want to ask the crowd or the folks here for public comment to really practice cordial behavior we're strongest we can talk about the issues from our hearts and in a sound way as well that is not demeaning >> good afternoon my name is sha nel williams the at the stra for

development i was an organizers for safety network 2006-7 when we had the highest rate of crime in san francisco it was the highest rate in the country what was clear at that time the cell justice at that time they developed a report which is clear from the community and police department is the police didn't equal safety in our community it was communities coming together crn and other pokes that live in the community that have relationship with folks that can build those relationship were the indicates that reduced the crime i think this is a really crazy message we're sending to the community right now we're having a tough time we have police brutality we see crimes where young folks are

being gunned down there is no justice to have police budget expands at this time i feel supervisor cohen the chair of the committee is not here to hear from the community to go through all that. a lot of folks were hear earlier they left i was down stairs in the north light court a lot of people had to leave because so much time was taken to the police this is a bad message to the community and the fact around gentrification black and terri folks are impacted by the system and black and terri folks are being pushed out adding more police to the community we know looking at the statistically the blacks and terris will be the most epacted in our community we know that part of the policy i'm not trying to put cohen on the spot it's disappointed to not

have her here to listen to the community >> thank you next spear >> hi i'm julia for the center of developers half of the people we lost were the youth it was a packed room with all youth we lost them. sfpd is the highest funded and heavily staffed police department in the bay area the iesh su no not with sfpd has enough funds but whether they're properly managing the funds they presently allocated the sfpd received a budget for economic educational services combined sf has the lowest majority of people any where in the u.s. context to prioritize crucial

for families and services over police in the city budget the additional funds in the mayor's budget as well as the 35 million must be reallocated from their areas of the local budget which are highly under funded. from fiscal year 1993-90 pour to fiscal year year 2015-16 the increase in budget is 99.9% they spend less than 3% on education economy and community services thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> my my name is camal legar i wanted to point out i feel like san francisco is distanced from the moment.

to suggest a $300 million new jail if you have been looked at what goes on in the community because you don't care about black and terri issues we stood in front of you you and farrell laughed for 25 minutes maybe you are disconnected from what is going on in the country michael terri was killed and his body laid on the concrete for five hours maybe you missed it. in boston there was a rebellion of the ghettozation of black people since we were brought here as slaves with crack in our community of the 80 tell us maybe you all fou got but the outcome is when neighborhoods explode if you is 16th and

mission can only give 500 homeless people homes but you can turn around and increase by the bd by 70 to 80 and they can be take 10,075,000 a year and hazard pay for black and terri communities they is tenderloin states came from they can buy black and terri neighborhood if you want to ignore history of racism because we think people like you are fucking idiots and not looking at the rest of the fucking country i more importantly want to point out sofie max well in the bayview supervisors -- (speaking off the mic) asked them what is going on in her neighborhood. remember that.

>> thank you. next speaker? >> good afternoon supervisors my name is allen beach nelson aye the president of the yureka valley association we represent 500 members i fully support this measure the board of supervisors fully supports this measure excuse me i didn't laugh at you i didn't make comments to you stop doing it to me -- >> let's show our politeness to everybody in public comment and no personal attacks please? >> thank you. i'm arret of san francisco i have been here 25 years i'm a gentrifying new be so we can make that clear the kos troe

yureka valley district has experienced a surge in nonviolent crime i want police to many focused on the serious crime we need more police force in our neighborhood so they can have beat cops sorry i lost my train of thought for beat cops in the neighborhood to me it's 4th grade math if the x percentage increases the populations increases over a period of time the fact that our enforcement needs to increase makes sense it's 5th glade 4th grade math i'm not here to say other programs are not important i think homeless out reach is important as part of kos troe care it was outreach and enforcement that will make a difference to the neighborhood i'm happy to say out of 400
