2:08 pm
apply the defibrillators we know that today, we're starting to discuss this towards the vote on june 22nd it means we're starting to increase the amount of defibrillator units this would potentially revise people killed by a police so we just need to stay alert here with the defibrillator useful tool but are we getting the remedy before the lethal weapon that's my question. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening i share the sentiment of my colleague except i'll not pose it as a question my firm belief
2:09 pm
this donation of the defibrillators to the department is directly intended to coincide with the introduction of tasers this is a against the will of the people and that issue should in the be expected accepted i grant that providing necessary life saving equipment to people involved in altercations that involves serious bodily injury are death is generally a good idea but i find in his try in the fact this donation occurs right he moment this body is considering the use of conducted energy devices that is a subterfuge and a vote to accept this. "question: vote against the people >> thank you. next speaker.
2:10 pm
>> good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. >> >> peter this is not the defibrillator i'm speaking defliblz and welcome to the new chief financial officer. >> who will argue against a product being given to the police department but there is a very interesting kind of a contradictory reality going on here i handed out those packet and given them to some of you and one of these talks about cohort electroweaponry it is sophisticated and very available in fact, that article amongst pinpoints the tenderloin for having been used for this thing mind control through frequencies
2:11 pm
and a lot of this stuff stops your hearts it is used to stop people's hearts political people can't figure out and this is common knowledge i think common knowledge among editorials i saw research is conspiracy people get together and it is not mystical and so i've offered some of the articles and who you have and verified years those things are going on in the city and throughout the country but specific the tenderloin they can stop a heart and do so many things and on the other hand, want to have those defibrillators so is it like you'll pick and choose who you'll resuscitate and regarding the tenderloin it speaks about the association of those programs with the san francisco
2:12 pm
police department so i'm hoping since i gave one to the chief he'll address that one the department and make much needed changes within i'll read one sentence. >> it says the give everybody the same amount of time you can provide the material to the competitor. >> i understand. >> (inaudible). >> i have to follow the rules there will be other opportunities to speak thank you, sir i appreciate it >> next speaker. >> any other comment on this matter? >> good evening and welcome. >> let's be clear those defibrillators are an accessory to tasers no other way to look at it the facts their ordered the tasers are a lethal instrument people can kill and get killed for them for there's no way that the police can knows whether a person is sensitive to
2:13 pm
having their hearts stopped and by them i speak the feelingly of this having gone through triple bypass any kind of things are substantial to them your own documents say that this is the case it is shameful shameful your even talking about trying to sugar coat tasers with those defibrillators. >> okay. any future public comment on the request to accept those donation yes, sir. >> tom in the defibrillators
2:14 pm
are in the purpose of resuscitate tat someone i'll recommend we don't get them i don't really agree with the tasers i think we need to back away from shooting people with anything or the. >> (clapping.) >> if we want to - resuscitate via a health unit then we should have the health units out on the street with the the defibrillators for heart conditions. >> any further public comment on this matter come on up. >> again? the acceptance of defibrillators. >> i understand excuse me. regarding the defibrillators first of all, i believe that is
2:15 pm
petra dejoe's while the other gentleman was talking you were talking with this other person i think that is rude you're speaking to something else when someone is talking okay. >> just a comment i noticed that you were speaking through the entire speech that's rude we want your attendance when our speaking as a former flight attendant defibrillators assist people are in having a heart problem and from the documentation is donation is for the sake of health purposes they'll be there they're in public places and seemed to be required in public buildings and
2:16 pm
i noticed them almost everywhere i go they're in airports, they're located almost throughout the city so why would we just happen to need a donation at the same time that we have on the agenda potential possibility of entertaining tasers the timing is uncanny and uncanny the very first item on the agenda therefore people could all be present just something i noticed and brought to my attention adding up the few things. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening and welcome. >> and welcome congratulations chief condolences i'm not sure if you look at this audience behind us people have a visual dnr written
2:17 pm
across their foreheads and so had you had accept this gift i predicament you will i hope you'll condition that patient who need defibldz resuscitation are included with the police officers a police have causes the problem and this equipment will do no good racist mentality that determines how the police support each other when they do something wrong think of the dnr on some of the faces we encounter our police department and when you do it with training
2:18 pm
conditions some cultural conditions some conditions with equal opportunities and equal fairness in the application of these it is rampant throughout the medical response industry that people of color get slower responses and less critical care and you're going to put this in the hands of amateurs not health care professionals. >> any future public comment on this matter hearing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, any questions. >> last public comment come on up. >> good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. >> hello my name is tom i'm an emergency medical technician thomas a. swift's electric rifle

give out 50 thousand volt shock by ad e give out a 15 thousand i find that difficult an a e d saves someone from a high voltage shock from my perspective that is not right i don't have much more to say i might give more when you talk about the tasers. >> public comment is closed. and any questions colleagues commissioner dejesus. >> i noticed the last time it was $10,000 so for the tasers. >> they're not tasers their adds. >> so i spoke but it is the paragraph the same company that ordered this in the past was save on securities and i guess
2:20 pm
the question how many a e ds 0 do we have in the patrol cars and the safety no longer has the ability to continue the program with the assistance with the chief to continue to raise funds to get a e d in patrol cars i want to see who is raising funds i got the expression it from the family trust but people are raising funds to get a e d i want to know about the purpose of this foundation and how much money have they raised and how many addieds and we have talk at the tasers is the weapon we want to include for support i will say that we try to get more
2:21 pm

2:22 pm
people are making the length to the tasers because of what we're doing offender use of force by from meaning has nothing to do with with the initial gift from the foundation was because their son died of a heart take on ocean beach before entering the fire academy they raised money to pay for those and the folks feel this is in the patrol cars the police officers are the first reading can help that's my understanding i think that is a good idea the more devices we have in patrol cars the better it is. >> commissioner wong. >> i have a question i remember there was one other donation have there been previous documents does it go back if time i'm asking the commissioners. >> the owner of john's grill
2:23 pm
depended on devices as walgreens in the tenderloin they respond to more kaufk than any other district these were depended on i'm not sure about the numbers we do not those. >> so there is a motion and a second on the floor we'll precede. > all in favor, say i. > opposed? >> i. >> so that item passes 5 to two sergeant, next line item. >> item 2 public comment the public is welcome to address the commission regarding the items not on tonight agenda but within the jurisdiction of the commission please direct your questions to the commission as a whole department, occi or commissioners are to respond to questions but may provide a brief response.

2:42 pm
the sfpd there is not an independent body that investigates the police killings yet created instead of approximately the police have investigated themselves one hundred and 67 years the police still investigation themselves how can a police commission have the definition to oars the concerns of the residents of sf we know the seats on the commissions are stepping stones for higher office seeking those seated will be less inclined to refusal the features to further their boogsz we're concerned about the accountability in terms of investigations and indictments we also need to be concerned about the accountability of the police

2:54 pm
happen until accountability is the first action rather than the last action you'll not change anything by just changing the words and in which their supposed to be following that didn't happen and in fact, what is going on as for what i see is that every time police officers kill brown and black people in the city they get a vacation and paid vacation every time they kill brown and black in this city they get to coming back to work with no accountability for the actions that they took i get to see for a period of time after the killing they get to have a nice desk job and get to sit behind a desk for a period of time rather than taking the actions in which their sweet spot to be doing
2:55 pm
this says no accountability nothing so no matter what you guys radio doing you're not forcing those overlays to be accountable and until in their accountable all i'm going to see more brown and black people killed only the streets of san francisco and that's a fact. >> no matter what you do there will be more brown and black people killed on the streets of this city until you make them. >> thank you. >> (clapping.) >> is there any future general public comment >> good evening and welcome. >> commissioners why was chief greg suhr removed from office because was it to an attempt to build trust with the communities here you have tasers on your agenda

position you're not going to see the change in cult i culture we need in san francisco i don't have time to go over the fine points but there are a lot of people in the individuals and groups that put in time you can see when the city has a policy i hope that is not forgotten and obviously when it comes to words like shall or should or minimal force or reasonable force has huge implications going forward i want to clear that from the stand point of a public defender geoi don't support the use of tasers i want to mention is that there's been a recent report about the disproportion of use use of force with people of color i ask you to take to heart

3:31 pm
have an extra tool to disproportionately harm people of color we need to focus on the deesclation practices to focus on this practices that will not harm or cause injury to the people your approaching or arresting so to suggest we need tasers to be part of the defendant circulation before we implement in the general orders of demraigs circulation shows we've not exhausted all the possibility and have to work through those practices and have to have the training and the mayor is committed $4 million to the police department i think that is sufficient enough to actually have non-lethal deesclation practices didn't include tasers. >> thank you. >> >> (clapping.) >> thank you, sir.

3:46 pm
firm and with internal and external we get a binder of every person that applies in closed session the entire commission goes through every applicant and meets the criteria that's what we do criteria is you know a level of education a level of expand we received the applications from people that were in charge of a police department with 10 officers we want to have someone that expanded a large organization so retirements as long as the commission is doing the the subcommittee we go through each one and decided who gets an interview the commissioners get a say the people know that the commissioners are working with you and commissioner president loftus will tell you we do community outreach and community meetings you can tell us way you're looking for in a chief
3:47 pm
and having done this twice it is beneficial we reach out to rank and file a long process and involved one that involves the entire commissions trust me we'll be involved in determining the qualifications and resumes all that with our input i'm a correct commissioner wong i'm torn we have a lot of work we need the efficiency if i'm hearing you'll handle the background with the full commission to make the criteria and the search for that the next chief and review the applications that makes me feel more confident things are decided and done brother this commission meeting it appears on the agendas and get calls from the public well, what is it the
3:48 pm
subcommittee that is happening or you know how come the commission has sent a letter i got that supervisors called me and said why did the commissioners send this letter i've not seen that letter that is what concerns me because i don't know what went on between the meetings i appreciate the efficiency aspect we can't wait until a commission meeting but concerned it seems to me to be happening a lot i don't know about the commission meetings. >> commissioner mazzuco. >> right so i think i agreed to a process and agree that earlier that we would send out the craft for the subcommittee without knowing what is the use of force now the tasers i never agreed i want to know the process before i agree to it or i bring that up to the city attorney whether or not this is fair. >> (clapping.) >> i need to know i mean -
3:49 pm
one thing about making executive decisions on the agendas this is like this is the whole body not one executive director and i hear commissioner mazzuco saying offering he's assume we'll be part of this i don't hear that i hear you send outliers i don't know from the commissioners will be meeting with the community members and in the applicant i don't know from the entire commission will review which recruitment process the 3 people your selected have never done in we have issues with some of the groups that have helped us select a chief before none has experience with those issues that we need to raise we should raise bra put them in the process to be o to be voted on i want to know exactly what is going on and i don't agree with the executive decisions. >> okay.
3:50 pm
>> (clapping.) >> thank you so i'm happy to address a couple of those concerns as we noted we were dark last week this is the first that we are able to update on this process and so i appreciate that the concern that you raised commissioner mazzuco and so i think what we can do gordon's thorough regular updates on what happened i can speak to there are bruno heights issues admonish 3 commissioners do anything so in the interest of beginning the process for an national search the form was reviewed with commissioner melara and commissioner turman and we were all comfort moving forward that no decision was made but the notification for proposals was put out there in the publics interest but i certain can assure everybody that the limousine of this subcommittee is mark farrell to
3:51 pm
assist the commission in a very important job not to take away the decision from anyone i don't know if sxherm or commissioner melara want to add anything. >> we've dealt with the brown act so i don't think that is a problem. >> but the only letters going forward have to recognize recruiters from the city to the city and county of san francisco and it is asking them for proposals to begin the search process so no major decision has been made no decision will be made without the full committees input the purpose of the selection committee to harvest information, categorize and raise it and bring it back to the commission to review it that's what the role of this subcommittee is
3:52 pm
commissioner melara. >> just for your information commissioner dejesus i work for the city for many years i know that the h.r. progress i'm condominium to following the criteria this commission established to select at next chief so i'm assuming the criteria will be development before we go forward and deciding who that person is going to be so rest assure i have a little information under my belt i know what i'm doing. >> i'm not criticizing this commission acts as a body and as sitting on two other searchers we've felt it our duty and responsibility to participate fully in the selection of a chiefs this is an executive
3:53 pm
decision and there's ways we can decide but informed and concerned i don't want to agree to any proposal if i don't know the details of the proposal. >> i think i agree with you completely i think that the issue is we have so many things on the table right now than being able to work and being able to excuse me. being able to work through subcommittees really makes it a lot more efficient and nothing it decided unless it's brought before the commission we're only doing the background work. >> that's with the individuals are interviewed and individuals will be called back for interviews a discussion of kwchgs all of that. >> i don't understand you said that everyone will be interviewed by the subcommittee or the few commission. >> make that clear.
3:54 pm
>> i'm really disappointed the way it is going forward. >> (multiple voices). >> there are processes to be put in place to move forward. >> commissioner marshall. >> my only frame of reference the way we've done in the past we've been included in the process and the purpose before i have no doubt we will again. >> i don't know that - and i want to stay on top of it and xhulth the city attorney it is not appropriate. >> i'll continue on the white house meeting with jack from the principle policing bureau participated in the department of justice collaborative reform team working in san francisco to attend the meeting and white house with the president 21st century go report and diverse
