scared you can't be hired no matter what people necrstrength is about on the force and put on the streets with a gun? it is not a question and answer i can permitting provide a brief response is hiring how we hire and make sure that the officers are doing well throughout their criteria >> the officers were too scared shouldn't be on the force another question i have relates to the tenderloin my daughter in the tenderloin had a gun pitted to her head i by the san francisco police department they made her lay on the ground with her face down cuffed her left her houston for

have guns in swerd or ass transmittal that is the oncivil rights this is my dad's death certificate instead of staying in sweden shot by a police officer attempting to haul a subsequence said chest wound justifiable homicide chest wound you have to be running towards the officer this is a sense also i'm asking for justice for mario woods the cops are wearing protective gear if they are afraid of us to protect the gentiles they think

we're crazy to have all those guns with other countries they think they ask me why we have so many guns they are running the show officers should chase the spreadsheets rather than shot them in the back that was what happened to my dad they ran him down. >> if cops have to arm themselves what are they trying to protect them or us or protect themselves from us i don't understand i'm not clear on this but thank you for listening. >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. good evening and welcome. >> first, i want to speak in support of justice for mario woods

(clapping.) i want strongly support of solid independent investigation by the department of justice i believe with all shootings should be investigated either the department or the local prosecutors handling that and second while i hope you are proposed with the view of the use of guns your focus is far too narrow that is about systemic issued and how minority and poor people are tread and i think ever aspect of how the police department functions and what incentives needs to be reviewed independently and finally on a human level i'm disappointed in chief suhr that your early reactions to ask the

authority to use more lethal weapons i think that of we're applause all the guns with our country's shooting rate will be higher than if you other countries that is not an acceptable solution but this is a larger issue than just the use of force or the police shootings about the police department culture generally and about the incentive within the department i on a full independent review is very important. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening and welcome. >> my name is m j isabel i this in the tenderloin and came to this meeting i want to say one to the commission thank you for having the meeting one to the

chief thank you for accept and expend captain gracie and last but not least thank you, captain grace i didn't and the tenderloin police station for doing a great job of trying to clean up our streets we still a have a long ways to go in the tenderloin we don't have a problem of police brutality as much as people allowing their kids and thugs to come to my neighborhood to sell drugs to other people in other neighborhoods my angry will not be with the police department i live long enough and i'm a criminal justice major to know that a community make ups a police force in the police force didn't want like you, you're not encouraging your community to join the police force it is in

the grand jury didn't look like you, you're not registered to vote and the grand juries are chosen from the registration if you don't like what justice do you're not educating our children the community is at fault if you raise tour child to disrespect the law your child will be killed. >> next speaker good evening and welcome. >> i happened to be sitting where the police officers association were sitting i knew he were they were plotting to walk out of the meeting tonight from the police officers association a reflection of the san francisco police department we are in a bad way if somebody can't come to this meeting unless they're paid to listen to the community and have a

dialogue with the community we are in the bad way and i will contend as the police officers association is not interested in a dialogue the poa police officer that executed mario woods were not interested in a dialogue i find it incredible that 5 cops can't take down one buy with an alleged knife what kind of training is that i have a question the commission are the police officers trained to talk to people or i can't believe that 5 cops can't use a baton i can't believe it i don't mind vice chair a conversation are chief suhr but it should be held via cypress with him

listened bars with the murder of mario woods. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm dwayne one thing i've learned as young african-american is to hold myself accountable what i do and conduct myself how can i sit here and trust you people the police department of san francisco to premier and protect as you know took act oath without the integrity to hold yourselves accountable it make no sense how can you expect the public to hold themselves accountable i need answers may 15 no, no november 1st i was

assaulted my wife was assaulted by a transgender and i was assaulted after being called a nigger your officers pulled off after we flagged them down we went to jail by the grace of god all the glory but what is going to hold you guys abdominal for the countless life-saving lives interrupted that's all i have to say (clapping.) thank you. >> next speaker good evening and welcome. >> sorry i'm little my name is rebecca november 15th on a street

african in medical examiner the officer reached for his gun was afraid and intimidated it would have taken a second for my fiance what was engaged i was subtract in the face for that officer to draw down and he could have been another mario woods my condolences to the family any of us could have been mario woods i think an internal investigation should be conducted with the police department conducts themselves morally and you, sir how do you sleep at night amen and god bless you. >> an officer from the office of citizens complaints make sure if you want to file a specific complaint. >> i have a make that happen moment there needs to be independent investigation into

the murder of mario woods and make that happen number two you know as a mother i feel your pain about your son i see you but it was a a specific racism that murder would have been about sold you sitting on the board whatever you do for african-americans you're sitting there, yes something done about drugs the point if you're sitting there while you're sitting and listening to the staff and the chief and to make that happen in our community how come those murders are not investigated now and then what are you doing to speak to our community and the homelessness and the highest rate of homelessness in the african-american community this would not be going on.

>> next speaker good evening and welcome. >> good evening my name is taking tammy bryant a resident of the fillmore i raised three children in the city i'm here to talk about the systemic racism in the state and spell your name for the record the san francisco police department should set the tone for the cultural and philosophy better recruitment i heard as a u.s. graduate he didn't know how to talk with people when he was assigned to the street what kind of an up bringing up to reach adulthood without a relationship with black people that's the problem the sfpd needs to not hire officers that don't love humanity none needs to teach me

how to talk with black people and now mary woods - his achievement deserves recognition he didn't live to see it and celebrate it a young man that was shot by a firing squad he could barley stand up and one person's account a victim was killed and not helped i said that before i'll not call the police i'm scared it is a chance i can't take the last time i called the police we we were treated like criminal and the crime criminal was treated like the victim we need the investigation of the shooting of mario woods and can't happen again ever thank you.

my name is taken place with the justice for mario woods and with the manila town heritage foundation our foundation reminders the eviction of the elderly chinese and filipinos of theic hotel alternate the gentrification that was fueled that cause that eviction filipino community was impacted because of the text gate there was disparkinson's texts about latino and black few weeks i take that personally that is a personal affront mario woods didn't deserve to die and his motto be without her son and child not see mario grew up we know the cultural of the white subpoenay with the dna look at

the brown and black youth and brown and black men and if their hearts and minds innovate every cop but the majority they look at us and we have we are crap when you look at us you see no value that's the bottom line if you don't need no degree to figure out that i've been accost by police officers i know exactly when they run up on you what's on their minds the way they're looking at you, we want a thorough investigation into the death of mario woods and the submittal of the chief an independent, independent investigation as to what happened he echo one of the brothers saying about the mayor that mayor is a disgrace to the city and being a part of manila foundation a part of iowa hotel

that effected many, many people deeply i'm deeply ashamed of the mayor. >> what this - >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. next speaker, please good evening and welcome. >> make sure the mike is on i think it is on good evening, commissioners the question here tonight what is going on and i'd like to tell you one hundred cops busy the poa did to show of force that is what martin luther king said i personally heard him, i think i got it on my record good show of force that's how we win before that the poa of color he sent

them out to read exerts on the poa website as you may know your received his letter and with poa the mostly white cops clammed up and stopped until they did arrest arrogant removal having grand standing i was waiting for the violins to begin as the cops talked about the good and far peace officer the sfpd do no harm by killing any brown and black brothers thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please good evening and welcome. >> yeah. he overheard those exact same comments i arrived as that incident was occurring i want to reiterate that and speak out of profound respect for

people putting themselves in out of harm's way a in harm's way and looking at the officers that are listening and count for the city but the lack of accountability and the lack of humanity that was demonstrated by that action completely unacceptable has to start from the top and be through training and accurate recordkeeping and transparent we've known for a a long time of challenges in the police department racist texts about mario williams and black woman will be more likely to be stopped than white people and 40 percent of the blacks in the jail i was with 60 thousand asian and white people i didn't

see of any of them go to jail when i worked in the bayview the density and the vera city and the number of officers and how quickly is escalates is easy for something like what happened to mario woods to occur we have to slow down and get to know each other we have love each other we have to work together that's what makes the city great and san francisco be the city that shows the rest of the country to take a terrible incident and use it as a turning point and demonstrate the values that made this city so great. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> oh, i'm sorry good evening sergeant williams. >> good evening i'm sergeant williams 26 veteran

and wanting for the police officers association they grief they grief my heart this day to have witnessed a display of total division where we had officers on one side and the community on another sidet's not what policing is supposed to look like that is not what you're city looked like i want to say to you today, i serve proudly offender the african-american chief advisey forum a representative for my community a native san franciscan i grew up in potrero hill i had a home in the bayview for over 2 o 20 plus years i get it was a tragedy situation, however, what do we do? we try and find solutions and recover

from this incident and the way we recover by finding solution today before this meeting we sat in the room and a had heart to heart communications with the chief we were specific about the way we feel he took it to heart and did his work along with some of our 09 police commissioners and came back with a plan for some changes and use of force and the way we handle situations i assure you it is something i'm looking forward to because it is a way to insure that an incident never happens again and to the citizens of san francisco i want to tell you that as police officers we truly want to be your guardians not ever officer is racist only a few but those few magnify to the

point you feel like you have no other ultimate but we need to support the changes about to be implemented by the current chief and i look forward to it. >> thank you, sergeant. >> next speaker welcome and good evening. >> thank you my name is dearly rogers i'm a native san franciscan i support in city in ever way i can but there is something that we really need to look at and that we really before i go there let me say to the police officers that are in the room thank you for your service it is not about you not serving but about how you see yourselves serving the situation is that when a police officer is on the job and he seize that force is necessary when that happens there is one

thing he needs to say to himself and that is that's my brother would i shot him if that's my mother what would i shot her if that's my child would i shot her the reasons the patrol officers first and foremost are not judge and jury more executioners i have heard here earlier, one of your police officers say don't rush to judgment but what i looked at what happened to mario woods i saw a lot of rushing to judgment a lot of rushing to judgment. >> when i see what happens in my community i see officers coming in and what they're doing

is acting like judge jury and executioner all in one form and until the police decide and chief suhr i understand you've do done a lot i was in your corner for all the stuff you've done in bayview and i've been supporting you. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker good evening, sir and welcome. >> good evening, everybody and please giving me our unundivided attention what i'm going to say is something to you folks

what has happened in the killing of some people in the city must be investigated with independent people i was an inspector generally in the federal government we know it has to be done that way or your ever going to get the correct report, and, secondly, if you can't obvious the relationship community relations of the police department or the people that live here has been terribly eroded you must look at the curriculum that the police academy uses if they're not doing a good job we're trying people how to use community relations enough instead of guns it is very, very

bad and whether get worse in the city so i recommend to you that you all independently look at the academy training curriculum that you all dpipt be interviewed by an independent investigator and then come up with what really happened i'm not saying with an way or another but your community relations are eroded and no for force nonetheless you it. >> next speaker, please. >> first of all, justice for mario woods i'm terry jones an active member of the coalition for mario and every person that was murdered at the
