d.o.j. recommendations and how they will work to with the police department. i think we will continue to work with them. >> i appreciate you doing that. >> ok can you call agents reach uniquely. >> commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration of future commission meetings action. >> any announcements? >> test our next meeting will be here in room 400 at city hall. next week on july 18th. we will begin at 5:30 pm. >> thank you. is there anything regarding agenda items. i know our agenda starting to get full. >> one thing i did notice, when we were here on june 20th, one of the requests that the commissioner had requested along with myself and even other commissioners was that we would have on the agenda today, an

agenda item for legal advice on how to provide a detailed reporting summary of discipline similar to the los angeles sheriff. on the agenda it was not on there. i don't know -- i don't know if it is missing or if it wasn't added. if it wasn't added, y.? after seeing the agenda item number 2, the report on disciplinary actions, i really believe that this topic is becoming more transparent and providing the community with more detail as to how these disciplinary actions are happening, and what the penalties have been, needs to be there. >> we were going to put that in the agenda but it is not ready yet. we cannot put it in if it is not ready. as the chair, sometimes you get these items and i am told it is not ready to go yet or not ready to be put out to the public. we hopefully it will be in the agenda for the 18th. >> if i can comment on that, i sent the materials to the city

attorney's office a few weeks ago and i've talked to them by e-mail this week. they have not gotten back to me with an opinion. they were not brit ready for a written opinion and i'm hoping we will have on before next week's me ten -- meeting. >> i can follow up as well. this is the challenge of the sunshine act an and we aren't ae to communicate with each other beyond the three of us outside of here. but i've communicated with the city attorney's office about this. i do think it is a priority that we move forward with this and perhaps by the 18th we can get it on calendar and initiate a discussion, if not action. we can decide between now and thursday or friday. >> i agree. but right now we want to make sure that we are in compliance and i know there's been chatter about what the trip don't share's department does in los angeles. when it is ready, and hopefully it will get to us and we have tentatively penciled in for the 18th and see if it is ready.

>> i brought this up with another commissioner and he had agreed to. i'm wondering if we can find a date in august and i will work off-line with you regarding the wealth disparity in the black community. they wanted to present statistics to us regarding the san francisco police department's use of force. something we talked about before. i would like to meet with them and get an idea of when they are available in august and then we can put that on the calendar. >> ok anything further for adding to the calendar? ok. >> public comment on items three a through three d. >> public comment regarding these items. >> good evening. >> i wanted to address the chief's reports. i would like to know why there was nothing in the report about the rating of the blockade at i.c.e. back over 30 people were

arrested and two people ended up in the hospital and you have no comment on that? no report on that? the public is not being protected by the police, but in fact attacked by them. we are trying to maintain a city that is a sanctuary city. the police is meant to support us and not i.c.e. you rated in the middle of the night and that there was six days of calm and peaceful protest with families and with music, with talk about how to get our children's safe. there is nothing in your report? this does not merit being discussed. i'm really shocked and appalled and would like to hear you report on what happened. that is your duty. >> thank you. next speaker. please come forward. >> good evening. i am here to discuss an unlawful police evident -- incident that occurred at my home. it was a well-being called that ended up being a three and a

half hour stakeout attempted break-in by my 4-year-old daughter in our sleep. that is the northern district station, the miranda district. and response to this, i inquired with the department with the northern station district department and did not get a call back. could not get a call back from anyone. i could not get an answer. i might add that this incident had no contact made. i called and i e-mailed and i tweeted i got no answers from anybody. i made a personal appearance at the station and no one would talk to me. i called the chief of police's often spirit he wouldn't take a meeting with mary. i requested records and i have received none to date. i called internal affairs and got no answers. i then, after calling internal affairs got a call back from one commissioner saying sorry it took me so many weeks to call you back. internal affairs has taken this over now. i'm not sure what other information i can provide you

with. i should add that the original well-being called was initiated by an off-duty sfpd officer that i happen to know. furthermore, i went to the f.b.i. i do not feel safe in my home. i don't feel i can call the police. i went to the d.p.a. and filed a complaint and christina, one of the investigators, was so appalling and rude to me. she asked inappropriate questions and told me to get an attorney. additionally, balthasar called me back the next day and refused to assign me a new investigator to my complaint. he said too bad, you will have to call me a new one. the chief says he has a zero-tolerance policy and i have yet to see it enacted. i want to remind everyone again why greg farrell resigned. >> can you talk to attendant yamaguchi. is not appropriate? and give some more information. what time of the day was this when this happened? >> 11:54 pm while we were asleep in bed and it continued until 3:00 am. apparently the dispatch call went in at 1124:00 pm.

>> if you can share some information with the lieutenant. he is right there in the back. can you please speak with him, thank you. next speaker. >> i was going to say, i can have susan talk with her as well. >> ok. take your time. don't worry. good evening. >> hello. i'm here to discuss -- well i came here to hear the reports from the chief of police about the horrible horrible raid on the i.c.e. encampment the other day. there were two dozen, might have been more tense. everyone was very quiet and became in the middle of the night like storm troopers. why would you do that? we are a sanctuary city. there is no reason. there is no reason for us -- at least to be even notified and

people come in the morning and say ok, you people have to get out and we will talk about it and discuss it. but you acted like they were criminals. they were not criminals. and why was there not a report? the women before me -- i mean why isn't there a report about this kind of police activity? is in the public supposed to be aware of this? anyway, that is what i have to say and i think we have to get rid of i.c.e. in this community. we did not needed in this community. we want to protect all of our people. that is all i have to say. >> thank you. >> any further comments regarding -- items 38 through three d.? hearing non, public comment is closed. >> item four discussion and action to approve issuance of department bulletins. >> she would like to say something. >> i was out of town and i flew in this afternoon. i found out about the i.c.e.

i'm so sorry. maybe next week you can talk to us about that. it is an important issue. >> sure. >> members of the public, we will ask questions about that. unfortunately it is not on the agenda but we will ask and report about it next week. thank you for coming. please call the next line item. >> possible action to approve issuance of department bulletin 18-117. vehicle toe policy and procedures enforcement. it modifies dg '09 .06, vehicle toe action. >> good off -- good evening. commissioners, i understand chief scott -- i am here to introduce the subject matter of experts in this particular policy development. i will turn it over to them. >> thank you chief.

>> good evening sergeant. >> good evening commissioners. i am here with officer leroy thomas who works in the traffic unit with me. >> thank you sergeant. >> chicana lending -- connolly is very tall. i am not. i worked as a -- at the traffic unit. i am the toe hearing the supervisor am the toe hearing supervisor for the police department. i conduct toe hearing things in my office and we determine if toes are proper or improper. we are here to discuss the submission of the department bulletin 18-117. it has been submitted to modify the department general line 9.06 and specifically section two-point a point to. this was last revised in july o. this was when the general order was a root -- revised and it was supported by the california vehicle code 146 '02 and 22 at 651. at that time, there was no

relevant case law. in 2012, usd was decided by the ninth circuit. usb requires a community caretaking function wherein a vehicle is seized without a warrant. the government cannot justify the impoundment by simply citing sections of the california vehicle code and department policy on impoundment and inventory searches. the fact that an impoundment complies with the state statute or police policy by itself is insufficient to justify an impoundment under the community caretaking exception. in order to comply with this decision, department bulletins were adopted. this was in 2012. the current bulletin before you today is a second-degree issue of these bulletins and it was written to combine those two bulletins into one bulletin as

opposed to having the two bulletins. the department general order states it is the policy of the department that officers shall toe any vehicle being driven by a person who has had his or her driver's license suspended or revoked or by a person who has never been issued a drivers license. the vehicle shall not be released to anyone at the scene. however, a commercial vehicle may be relates to an agent of the company who is a licensed driver. the other one requires that all vehicles driven by a person who has had his or her driver's license suspended or revoked or by a person who has never been issued a driver's license shall be towed and the department bulletin specifies certain circumstances when the vehicle shall be towed and when the vehicle shall be released at the scene. these circumstances are, a

vehicle shall be towed when the driver's license status is suspended or revoked and that d.m.v. records confirm that the driver of the vehicle has been cited at least once in the past four of violation of the vehicle code. or, the clutch d.m.v. record confirmed that the registered owner is the driver and has a license restriction requiring an ignition interlock device and when -- one is not present on the vehicle. if one is not present on the vehicle, the vehicle shall be towed. the department bulletin states the vehicle shall be released when an unlicensed driver is cited from the vehicle code and does not have a prior confirmed citation as stated above. the decision to tow the vehicle must be reasonable and in the

furtherance of public safety. referred to sfpd department form 574 regarding impound guides and circumstances. the unlicensed driver and the other circumstances are the online since -- unlicensed driver is the registered owner of the vehicle and there is a valid licensed and insured driver immediately available, meeting there is a passenger in the car or available to respond to the scene prior to the telling of the vehicle and is able to safely and lawfully drive the vehicle from the scene. if the licensed cited vehicle is not the registered owner of the vehicle and the validly licensed and insured it registered owner is immediately available or available to respond to the scene prior to the telling of the vehicle and able to safely and lawfully drive the vehicle away from the scene, the vehicle should be released at the scene. if the driver's license has expired within the preceding 30

days and the driver would otherwise have been properly licensed, the vehicle shall not be towed if the time of the traffic stop the vehicle is parked and is not impeding traffic or jeopardizing public safety and convenience. it is not blocking a driveway cat crosswalk or otherwise preventing the efficient movement of traffic. if it is parked on private property, they can arrange for their own toe or call for a licensed driver. those are the differences. >> thank you. essentially everything you have told us is that when used to be a standard where somebody is on on once that -- unlicensed either -- driver, it has been revoked for multiple moving violations, or predominantly for dui. we used to just toe their cars. now we are taking every effort to see if we don't have to tow the car and if we can turn it

over to a responsible party who has a license and i assume insurance and they can drive the car away. we also have a lot of discretion now under the department bulletin to allow the officers not to tow the cars which cost more money for those who have their cars towed. the cost is a couple hundred dollars. what this boils down to in this departmental bulletin is we are making every effort we can to put the car back in the hands of somebody who is licensed and insured and/or park the car at a place where it is safe for someone whose license and is insured to come get the car. so for members of a public talk on the new members of the commission, we have departments general orders that we are looking at and there is a whole two binders full of them. so sometimes when there is a

change in case law like this case, we do departmental bulletins to augment and to make changes for the department general orator and the bulletins expire after how many years? >> ears -- eight years. >> we need to reinitiate this bulletin. i think for members of the public and the commission, what we are doing here is making all of our efforts to make sure they do not tow the car. it cost so much, correctly. >> yes. what you need to do is you need to seek permission of the sergeant to tow the car and explain why you are touring the car and why you are not releasing it. is that correct? >> correct. >> i had a question with respect to the tow authority and the stop. there is a reference there that indicates the stop program will determine the like -- length of the hold place on the vehicle. my concern would be not only is it expensive to tow, once a stop hold has been placed, there is a lot of paperwork and a lot of steps in that process -- process to get the hold lifted. it requires in the impound occurring fees where people cannot pay to get their car out. iit creates a vicious cycle, especially for people who are

low income and do not have the money to pay these fees. i am wondering what the criteria is for the stop program in determining the length of the hold and what the procedure is and how, if there is some procedure to ensure that the holds can be lifted and expedited rather than a lot of procedures that are currently in place. >> the procedure we follow as a vehicle states the hold is for 30 days and the holds can be lifted as soon as a driver goes and gets their licensed taking -- license taken care of. >> is that the only condition, meeting somebody else -- >> no. there are several conditions that a car can be released prior to the 30 day hold. if the car was stolen, if the driver gets their license valid before the 30 days, if there is a community property interest in the car, the other owner in the

car -- or actually, it doesn't have to be the other owner. if he was not the driver and the owner agrees to sign a stipulated vehicle release which is issued by the department of motor vehicles, the car will be released immediately. by signing the vehicle release, they acknowledge they will not allow anyone who does not have a valid license to drive their car for the next seven years. if they do up there will be an automated 30 day hold on their car for the next time. it is a warning. it is i get out of car jail fr free. [laughter] >> so, most often, people find those without hesitation and they get their car back. >> is there any other provisions for people who don't have their license but have made arrangements to get their license at or trying to pay the fine so there license can be released? are there any provisions for those who are taking steps and perhaps they can't pay the fines

associated with past tickets they sign up for community service to work off some of the faience through community service? are there procedures for people in that category. >> they can ask the superior court to have those citations not removed, but withheld so that it does not reflect on d.m.v. and the d.m.v. can make their license valid again. >> i was listening to your history and i am really old here. there was an issue in the mission district of taking a lot of cars that did not have licenses. we worked on something pretty similar but i thought there was a time frame. this would have been about 2010 or 2011 and there is a department bulletin. it gave a window. fifteen or 20 minutes so they had an opportunity to call somebody. it would work with the churches

of the time who are willing to set up some type of system so that people who did not have a license for a variety of reasons could get the car. i did not hear that in your history. i'm wondering if there is a timeline? >> the only difference is there is no designated time. there is no way to predict how long. so the community caretaking role covers that because if it is not a hazard to, if it is legally parked, it will not get towed. >> if somebody comes prior to the towing of the vehicle, that is where we have the time limit. sometimes, you know, it is right around the corner from the hall of justice and the tow truck is right there. i thought we had quite a 15 or many -- 20 minute timeframe. i'm wondering why it is not there for the particular one where you are giving them -- the only thing i am hearing is you are giving them until the tow truck comes. >> in that case, if it was not

not the registered owner that responded, we currently cannot release the car. we can only release the car to the registered owner. nobody can give permission for a third party to take this person's vehicle. so the community caretaking covers this. >> i'i'm trying to remember. i don't have -- i did not hear you mention it. i do not have it in front of me. i thought that is why we are setting up with the church's. someone can come an in we can sn the release. >> i'm not aware of any churches that responded. >> no, what we set this up we put in there and there was an issue that the owner, you may not be the registered owner and how can they release it, i thought it was in here that they can sign a release that they are not responsible. >> another thing that has mitigated that circumstance is the passage of another fellow.

it is really not that much of an issue anymore. >> ok. >> thank you commissioners. >> this may have been explained, i'm not sure if i'm understanding it. under the second section that you were just discussing, vehicles where you need somebody to arrive within a certain amount of time, can those vehicles be safely parked and left? or is there -- how is that dealt with? >> we are not allowed to park a vehicle or drive a person's vehicle. we are not allowed to let an unlicensed driver park a vehic vehicle. so the car, wherever it is at the time of that traffic stop is its a disposition. >> so basically the difference in whether a car gets towed can be where somebody has pulled over? >> yes. >> ok.

>> i just want to clarify something so i understand it. we typically do not approve department bulletin changes. in this case, i understand we are because the law has changed, on the bulletin is inconsistent with the general order. is that the case? >> yes, at general orders require the department to submit any changes that they make through the departmen departmens that amend your department general orders. >> ok. they can't be inconsistent with the general order without an amendment to the general order. that was my understanding. >> my understanding is a department is bringing this because there is a substantial change to your general order. if you like to revise a general order i'm not sure exactly where that is in the priority. but that would be up to the commission's prerogative to do so. >> yeah. it sounds that way.

>> anything further for the sergeant? >> may be we should look at whoever is in charge of our list and move to consider its. when you do bring it to our attention we should try to be consistent and make the change to the general order so we have consistency and not have the general order say something for four years that is different or three years that is different. that is something we should talk about on our agenda. put it in their attic get to read. >> i agree. >> there is a list that is being used. >> i know there is a list but i don't know where it is on the list. >> any department bulletin that changes the general order, once it is reported, the language in the bulletin will be incorporated into a new general order. >> i want to find out where it is on the list. i don't want it down six months or a year. it would be nice to revise it all at the same time. >> i can't advise you where that

is at this time. >> sure. >> and we cannot release the card to someone who is not registered. but practically speaking, there is a question asked about where the car came to the traffic final stop. it is a determination of whether he gets towed or left in a prop -- parking spot. practically speaking, does it happen where the car ends up parked a lot? so that there is not a toe? >> it happens when the traffic stop is affected and they will pull into a parking spot. it does happen. >> thank you very much. >> we are guided by the community caretaking. that is what the guiding light is. >> ok. thank you. ok. commissioners can't do i have a motion to accept this addendum by way of the departmental bulletin to the department general orator. do i have a motion?

>> i would move with the understanding that we also try to calendar the bdo in sometime in the near future so weak -- near future so we can be consistent. >> public comments regarding this department general order with reference to the towing of a vehicles? hearing none, no public comment on this issue, all in favour? just so the public knows, there is a questionnaire about discretion. i have a suspicion a lot of these cars get parked by the officers. i want to thank officers who exercise their discretion to do that. please call the next item. >> item five. discussion of possible action to approve the addendum to the california department of justice and the sfpd ml you. discussion and possible action. >> you have in your pocket the addendum to the m.o.u. with the california department of justice and i will turn this over to

another commissioner who has taken the labour on this and by way of background, for the members of the public, the united states department of justice made 272 recommendations for changes. and the department of justice, through the program has withdrawn from participating in that. and some in our political family here in san francisco were hoping to have another agency looking to monitor these changes. we are being monitored by the police commission. we have tailored clients, which you have heard mentioned about tonight. the same consulting firm that was working with u.s. d.o.j. and working with us. the question is, there is an m.o.u. with the state department of justice. when this first came to be, it sort of -- it was one of the first efforts to serve the authority of the police commission. many of our opinions was

unanimously voted down. we were not fully advised and so we have taken a look at this and obviously, we as a commission belief and transparency -- transparency and accountability. if there is another agency that can help us, we are more than willing to do it. we had concerns about the ability of the d.o.j. to monitor these changes. they have a subject matter expertise. the d.o.j., all those folks we dealt with through that process where professionals and you had sub- jacked matter expertise. they were high ranking member is a major police departments. either recently retired or active. they were working with the community. so now, there is a decision to bring the d.o.j. on board. there has been meetings for the d.o.j. in the police department. a commissioner was involved in meetings with them. there was a concerned that we are the police commission on this is our role and all the role of the state to d.o.j. we want to make sure they are up

to speed. there was a meeting with myself and other commissioners and mayor farrell who was just learning about this and understanding at that time. there has been a lot of work put into it by the commissioner. i have got you up to date. where are we at? >> we have had a document that the city signed with the state ag at that memo basically outlines the role that the state ag and taylor hein -- hillard heintz will play. there is occurrence earned by the commission that the commission was not part of the document and did not have any identified role, even though under the san francisco charter, we do. so we drafted what is the first addendum to the memo. it has been approved by the mayor's office and by the police chief and by the state a.g. and it is now before the commission for approval or not. it came out a couple of weeks ago. there was concerned by a couple -- by three of the

commissioner's. they wanted to get more comfortable with the role the state a.g. has played. i am hoping it will play. i'm hoping that has happened. i would like to move up for adoption of the addendum with the memo of understanding. >> before i call on commissioners with additional language that he may like to add, we are still going forward. the police department is working with the community and the group's. we are working towards making these changes. whether or not there is a signature on this document it is a state d.o.j. things are happening. it is a matter of solidifying or codifying this. just to make sure, it is happening. >> thank you. i apologize. i did discuss with him that i was working off the language and with the police commission and our policy analyst.

and so, after our last meeting where we discussed this and the commissioners who have been here longer got us sufficiently outraged at the way that we had been excluded from this process. and i just scent it to the city attorney this afternoon. i don't know if she had a chance to look at it yet. basically, let me just read it. what it would do would add or replace -- add a subsection on page 3 of the original m.o.u. through the addendum process, we would move f. to g. and then in place of what is currently f. -- i'm sorry, g. two h. so it would be a new g. and then what is currently g. would be moved to h..

and the language that we worked out was basically, restating the police commission's role as the final oversight agency over the san francisco police department edit is dipped -- as it is determined by the charter. the proposed language, and again because i am just raising this now, whatever process the commission wants to take, whether we need to put it over a week to wordsmith the language a bit more is fine with me. i will read out the language that i proposed inserting as section six f. six g. the language would read as follows. let me read the preceding for the public who may not have this. >> are you sure it is six g.? >> this is the addendum.

>> to g. on page 3, going into page 4. so with the preceding line, i will start with aft. this is currently in the m.o.u.. this addresses the compliance and how compliance will be determined by d.o.j. the subsection reads, working with the consultant, d.o.j. will issue periodic public reports regarding the status of sfpd's implementation of the reforms are governed by this m.o.u., including whether the d.o.j. has determined that a particular reform has substantially complied with the recommendati recommendation. proposed subsection g. reads, once d.o.j. makes a

determination that a particular reform has met the standard of substantial compliance, the commission shall independently review the status of the reform and make its own independent determination whether the department is in compliance. the commission may set future hearings as needed to ensure that it apartment reminders remains in compliance. >> i don't have an issue with that. before we approve it, i would want to note that the other parties to this document are prepared to sign off on it. >> that is fine. i realize i am just raising this now. i think we can put it over to the 18th. i will do the outreach, unless somebody else wants to talk to ensure the other parties are on board. >> i agree. thank you for that amendment -- amendment. shows where we stand within the charger and this was one way to

usurp our authority. and a ballot measure was another. we have to bring it back and. we will put this matter over for another week, just for the commissioners to reach out to the other parties. i want to thank you both for doing that. is there any public comments regarding this matter that we will put over until next week? hearing none, public comment is closed. please call the next line item. >> the public is welcome to address the content -- the commission regarding items that do not appear on the agenda but within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. speakers should address to the remarks as a whole and not to individual personnel. under rules of order during public comment, neither police or dba personnel or commissioners are required to respond to questions presented by the public but may provide a brief response. individual commissioners and police and dba personnel should refrain from entering into any debates or discussion with

speakers during public comment. please limit your comments to two minutes. >> before we start public comment, i did not notice that a commissioner had lit up the screen here. >> thank you. i just wanted to let the public know two important things. there are two important work in groups that are coming up. the accountability working group will be on july 25th from 1-3:00 pm at police headquarters on third street and we would obviously love to have the community come and participate in the working group. it really does help us. we are fortunate to attend the use of force working group and it was one of our first working groups that we were able to attend. it was very beneficial to see the working group in progress and hear from the community with respect to their concerns and input on how to implement some of the changes that are coming through. the second one, which i am very happy about is that bias working group.

it will take place on july 26 from 10:00 am until noon. it will be at the headquarters at the hall of justice. again, we invite to the community to come and participate in this working group. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for bringing that up. i am technically on the accountability group, but i will be out of the state that week, the week of the 23rd. i would appreciate if other cuts -- commissioners can cover that. >> i will be there. >> thank you. we can move into public comment now. >> it was maia's mistake for missing her. >> it's all right. >> first speaker, please. >> good evening. my name is adrian. i'm commenting on the police department's action on monday, july 9th at the occupy san francisco i.c.e. block h. i'm speaking out for a friend who could not be here this evening and was slightly injured by one of the san francisco

police officers. briefly, my friend was outside the barricade on samson street. he saw officers from the san francisco police department move in and block off all access to the i.c.e. occupied encampment shortly before midnight. the person is over 70 years old and was standing on the sidewalk outside on samson street. he was outside and away from the barricade. he saw the cops rushed forward and one told him to move. as he was moving, th the officer knocked him down with his stick. when he started to get up, the officer knocked him down again with his stick. if my friend had been a physically frail older, she could have sustained severe injuries. i ask, was this assault necessary? for me, this raises questions of how officers are in practice, interpreting all the use of

force and de-escalation training that they are supposedly be a gauged and. not that this case was one that needed de-escalation. unfortunately, at the officer's badge and name were not retained. this raises questions of where the sfpd stand on san francisco being the sanctuary city. where does the police commission stand on san francisco being a sanctuary city create thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> can we advise her to the d.p.a.? >> yeah. >> adrian, can you pass on to your friend, that the d.p.a. certainly is available for any types of investigation or complaints. >> even if the officer badge was not obtained? >> yes, they all do that. >> i will let them know that. >> i am the investigator here. i was going to start to bring

some of the pamphlet -- pamphlets next week so people can have them and carry them with them in addition. i have an investigator here if you don't mind talking to her. she can get your information and we can talk. >> i will pass the info on. >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. >> good evening. >> i'm here for the same reason as some of the others that have spoken before. i think that san francisco is a sanctuary city. the police department has an obligation to enforce at the sanctuary city. not to enforce what i.c.e. wants them to do. i.c.e. is the last three letters of police but it does not mean that they are affiliated with i.c.e. so please respect the people of san francisco's judgement that this city should be a sanctuary city. all people are welcome and we do not have to cooperate with i.c.e. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker.

>> good evening. >> hello. i am an illegal immigrant from the republic of congo. i came here in san francisco fleeing persecution back and remove the the mic up a little bit? >> i was fleeing persecution on the ground of sexual orientation and gender oppression. and my country is a war-torn country. i came here to seek safety and it has been a few months and i recently noticed issues that has to do with racial profiling on the part of the police departments. i am being followed by some officer that i managed to take a picture of them and in return, i am being approached by random strangers and on the streets and

in my housing where i am staying. if i don't know if it has to do with race or my immigrant status, or if it has to do with something that i don't know. i want to know if there is any kind of investigation that is ongoing on my side. i just want to know if there is something like that. i don't want to -- i have the right to know that and there was an instance where i tried to reach out to someone. and supervisor tang, -- if there's anything. they constantly are turning me down. i don't know if the officers are using -- if they have a way of not representing me. i recently spoke with the department to police accountability in the cases ongoing right now. i just want whatever that is, i want to know about it and i wanted to stop. it is giving me so much

emotional distress and i am just having like a hard time understanding. i need an answer to that. >> thank you. so you have already made a complaint with the department of police accountability. director henderson, who is in charge of that is here and his chief of staff is here. maybe they can give you an update. i'm glad you feel comfortable going there and making the complaints but we have to let the process play out and maybe we can provide you with an update if they are aware of one tonight or tomorrow. >> i wanted to know from the police if there is any investigation going on on that issue. >> the d.p.a. would be doing the investigation on your behalf. but let them talk to you about it, ok? thank you for coming forward tonight. thank you. any further general public comment? ms. miss brown? >> welcome back. >> hello. >> it was nice seeing you today. >> i miss you guys. i've been down for a long time.

i did not have anyone to talk to anymore. but i am back and i'm glad to see that everyone is back. again, i'm here to talk about my son. my son was murdered 12 years ago. i would like to use the overhead. >> it is on. >> he was murdered 12 years ago. next month is his anniversary. august 14th. it will be his anniversary. and it will have been 11 years since my son was murdered. i am asking again, for the media, to do another media coverage at his sight where everyone came last year to do another coverage. i spoke with my inspector today

and he is going to be calling me again on friday and i am surprised to hear from him tod today. for some reason i had not heard from him in months. but he called me today and i am happy about that. he gave me a little information that made me feel a little glitch. but i am waiting to hear it from that. that, again, i keep having the perpetrators that murdered my son, is thomas hannibal and others. one of them is deceased. i just recently saw hannibal on facebook. he is still living his life like he has never done anything and he was the main one bragging about murdering my son. i'm still looking for justice for my child's.

i still carry my pictures of my son, lifeless and his mother standing over him. i would not want my mother to do this. i just want people to remember what i have to go through and what i have to live through every day. and my other picture, of my son, lifeless. his beautiful face decaying. i want justice for my son. my 16-year-old boy that i don't have any more. >> thank you. >> members of the public, if there's anybody that has any information regarding the murder of this gentleman, please call the tip line. area code 415, 57 --

(415)575-4444. for those who are not familiar, she comes to our meetings every week and she has done so for many years. since her son was killed. there is an inspector assigned to the case and there is no statute of limitations for homicide and the police department is doing its best to try to make a case that could be charged in a court regarding his death. he was a good kid. a really good kid. his mama went and accepted his diploma at graduation. he graduated from saint dominic's catholic school for grade school and i wish somebody in the community had the courage of their conviction to come forward and, you know, there is no mystery as to who committed this murder. but whether or not it is provable is another thing. someone has to come forward and be willing to testify. ms. miss brown comes to city hall every week and does this. i wish somebody in the community would have enough guts to come forward and help her out. next speaker. magic?

>> yesterday at the board of supervisors, we presented the idea of creating a resolution to abolish i.c.e. and that there are -- the l.a. city council is also considering this. the house of representatives on the national level has a bill introduced to abolish i.c.e. this is a very encouraging idea that his taken effect in the country -- on the country within a few months. people are advocating for the abolishment. it was only created in 15 -- 15 years ago. we have an elder women here who are aware of what it feels like to think of our grandchildren and our children being treated like this. on cord -- cold floors drug, told not to touch each other, in darkened rooms. we cannot lose sight of what is happening here. the police commission aims to encourage -- in fact demand the police department protect us who

are citizens out there. all generations for a week blocking that building where people are being intimidated and taken out of our city. this cannot be lipservice that we are a sanctuary city. that we are a sanctuary stage. i suggest we pull apart out if the republican party process hands and her aunt -- and encourage the state to call for rights. we want i.c.e. out of this date. we do not want our people to be intimidated and be taken to jail's eye to have the children taken away and not drugged. it is beyond the pale that this is happening. so contra cost to the contract for jailing immigrants in richmond, we need all of you to advocate and to stop the police. in the middle of the night disrupting this camp. they knew it was there for a week. why is this done like this? the same way they did to occupy in the past. it is appalling. we need to just stop and we need you to protect us.

i asked the police officers last night if they were there to protect us and they said yes. let that be true. >> thank you. any further public comment? please call the next line item. >> item seven is public comment on all items to item nine below. including public comment on vote to hold item nine enclosed section. >> we are about to move into closed section -- session two disclose matters of litigation. any public comment regarding that? public comment is now closed. >> item eight, vote on whether to hold item night in closed session including vote on whether to assert the attorney-client privilege to item nine e., administrative code section 67.10. >> do i have a motion into closed session? >> seconded. >> thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. >> do we have time to run to the bathroom?
