needs to be if we took more time to understand one allocate across the country serious a debates how law enforcement will relate to the community about the appropriate use of force and the bias within an outside law enforcement we need to have this conversations similar conversation are being had within every police department as well or should be these kinetics is bumping and uncomfortable help us to understand and better serve san francisco of course, those are only conversations and the true sense of the word only willing to talk not only but listen someone said you have to understand and be understood true words again quoting let us begin that difficult conversation by being

honest to acknowledge that most of our law enforcement history in the country is not pretty at many points in american history before the members were borne are law enforcement enforced with status quo a status quo that was brooultd unfair to the labor groups and unfair to two many people a century ago the issuing my mom was issuing knew how well, the drills and the patty woolen is not named patty wug because it's padded we need to be able to explain why we do what we do every time we do if we can't rethink what we're doing and to do it definitely there is a renewed on a procedural justice toy decade

ourselves to not allow the bias that exists in all of us not judge cope to do our job fairly and objectively to do this today more than ever requires strong leadership it is with that in mind all the men and women are promoted were selected for the department leaders of tomorrow the best ladders are functional intelligence and demonstrate things the right way everyone on this stage actually not on the stamp they don't it, too as evidence by the performance under the exams and experience the ability to do this i'm grateful to our family and france for the character awesome possess and how you cultivated our influences to be here today each of you demonstrated the
