thank you for what you are doing and i appreciate it. >> thank you very much. >> i had two questions. and this is a great report and i agree it's a delicate issue because some people are saying we shouldn't be moving the camps. the fact we have a mobile command going out with the d.p.h. and the d.p.w. and even the d.a., i think that is commancommend able and it's impt for the police officers not to be the only first responders. i read in the paper today the appellate courts talked about and i wonder you i know more of the department and your partner per se and the hours and you guys midnight to 6:00 a.m. have you any issues there.

>> i'm take the first one. >> if and how that appellate decision will impact our efforts so we're waiting on that and we'll make whatever adjustments if we need to make adjustments. after 11:00 at night to 7:00 in the morning, with the laws, people can't sleep on the sidewalks. in terms of effectiveness, we feel we have adequate coverage at this time to actually deal with what we have to deal with and a lot of it is really the consistency of addressing the issues and with the seven day week coverage we have the consistency now. >> i have one last question. this is proactive which is really great. proactive. it's planned and it's moving people along, hopefully getting services. one of the issues that the department has is those calls were someone is not -- someone is violent and they're not on

their meds and we are the first responders, do we have any department of public-health going out with us on those calls or it's just department? >> what is happening there and i'm glad you brought that point up. the public often doesn't know which number to call and what circumstances situation so when you have a altered mental status and crisis situation it's a 9-1-1 phone call for immediate response by police and e.m.s. personnel. in that case, someone is in that circumstance of a situation we'll go ahead and bring that person by way of e.m.s. to the hospital for maybe a 51-50 evaluation or medical treatment. the department of public-health monitors all those individuals that come no the e.r. room. that information is fed back to our team at healthy streets operations center. there's a department public-health employee that's monitoring everybody coming through on the high e.m.s. users list and other lists.

so that is not in a vacuum or a silo. that is being communicated. what we're trying to get to is having the -- the best practice that we've done before, is having our crisis intervention teams through public-health work shoulder to shoulder with police officers in the field to interact with those that may suffer from mental illness to see what we can do right there on the streets prior to going, a person having to go to the hospital, et cetera. the other point i want to make, i didn't want to step off the podium without making this point, we talk about police problem versus non police problem. we are the first responders and front line is city government. as you mentioned, vice president, regarding public safety and being there for safety purposes. we're telling our officers, contribute to this issue by being knowledgeable about the resources. we give officers all the resources on two pages. being able to connect people to

services first. lead with services. enforcement is last resort. thanks to the department of homelessness and support of housing, they've given the sfpd15 beds for seven-day stay full time. so, that means that we send out an e-mail to ever officer, if you encounter someone overnight, call this number and talk to the supervisor at the division circle navigation center. reserve a bed. drive them there or get them there somehow and get them in there. that's what we're doing. that's what it's all about. in lieu of jail and everything else. is what can we do to help them. >> that was my question, whether they were given the hsoc property housing because it's at a premium the navigation centers are full and homeless shelters are full and there's just no options for people. >> yeah, the department of homelessness and supportive housing has a priority list and they have priority one and priority two and they're making determinations if you have an elderly or family with children

they are the first priority. they have individuals they work on. they talk about 20,000 people total in the city that cycle through this process and many of which get services and help and housing and we're left with the 4,000 we deal with on the streets on a day to day basis. the great news is we have conversations every day about this. if we didn't forever until now. >> thank you. commander, lazar, i just wanted to say i think this is amazing. in any short time in the commission, every time i go out and speak with the community, people throughout the city, homelessness is the number one issue that we're hearing across the board. the challenges of people that live or work, visit and the city and the issues that are arise. but really, what i wanted to

comment on is that, i appreciate your tone. and i think that the way you are approaching this is right on the mark. it's not the sort of -- getting away from the idea of criminalizing homelessness and realizing this is a public-health issue. this is a issue of maybe our own making in a sense and not wanting to just sweep people off the streets or lock them up. i think a lot of times in the commission and in the department we get bogged down with the history and the d.o.j. reforms and looking at other departments. this is one area where it sounds like san francisco is going to be the model. i think that's due to the leadership of the chief and you and the department. as a commissioner, this makes me happy and proud of the

department to see you doing this and the attitude and approach to it and so i wanted to commend you for that. >> thank you. >> anything further? >> thank you for your report. >> thank you. >> greatly appreciated. >> thank you for being there. >> thank you, very much. >> line 2b report on recent d.p. activities and announcements, presentation of these second quarter 2018 physical report presentation of reports summary of cases received, mediation of complaints and companion reports. >> good evening. >> good evening. thank you. i'll start off with some of the staff that i present at the commission. this year and currently we are at 451 cases that have opened this year.

last year at this time we were at 362 cases. you will see there's a spike in the number of cases that have come into the department. i believe it's likely due to the increase outreach that we've been doing. more people are hearing about the agency and coming to the agency and bringing us more cases. in terms of case closed, we're at 391. last year at this time we were at 484. that number des party is due to the cases and in terms of cases pending we have 292 we have 295 cases and it's about the same number and again, that disparity is due to, i think the 3304 cases when those cases were closed when i first came in at the beginning or the middle of summer from last year. in terms of cases past the 270 day mark, they are case that's

have on going investigations beyond 270 days. we are at 26 cases. of those 26, 17 of them are told. meaning they are other agencies investigating or participating in those cases so the time is not tolling. the city attorney's office or the district attorney office. last year at this time we had 63 cases that were passed that mark and the last commissioner asked me about the 3304 cases and i did run a report. your question was when we had the last time we had the 3304 cases in response to me referencing closing or ending the process where the d.b.a. would lose jurisdiction from taking too long in their investigation. i did run the report. the last 3304 case that we had in the d.p.a. was june of 2017.

when i came in in july, since i've come in as director, there have been zero. >> wonderful. >> i was so excited when i got the report. i'm so glad you asked me. anyway, i will continue. we will not -- i will do everything that i can to not have cases lost due to jurisdiction because of a delay in the investigation from my office. i will continue with that. in terms of the hiring of our i.t. director has started. that's a big deal for us. we haven't had an i.t. director for a year. that's been a big problem. we've had several cases that had been in the press about our website and how difficult it is to use modern technology with the work that we're doing. so now that we have someone that

we have hired from the city of berkley, we're really excited about her work and we have fast tracked just in terms of the technology, a number of things that i think will be important. one, the budget was approved for us to get the new website. which is $149,000 in case anyone was wondering just how much it cost to build a website. and the other thing that i think is important about the technology step that we can expect is that we have, we are participating in the program with city hall to work with the tech team. they're going to give us some fellows this year to collaborate with the police department to expand our technology both in how we operate and how we share information between the department. the i.t. director is here and i'm very excited about that. i will say in terms of outreach, we've had another couple of outreach events this month.

here in the audience with me is my chief-of-staff sarah hawkins as well as carlos villarreal. earlier here, before was sharonously. she came just in case you guys might have questions because earlier today, before the meeting, i did distribute two of the commissioners a list of the rules of our mediation. i think we've talked about it a couple of times. i'm preparing something broader. what i will likely do is have something added to the calender to talk about the new changes in mediation in terms of what we've done and how we've reached the program. i've added personnel and names to someone in charge of that process internally. i want today do a full presentation. before we get there, i want to make sure you guys have all the of the rules just this afternoon before the commission. you already have the reports

presented from city charter section 4.136 and police commission 97.4. i will just say, i have not found the reports like this to be as helpful as i think they can be. this will be the last report that you get of this type. it's mandated by those characters that i've given. i'm not going to not report. i'm going to reinterpret so we don't just get a data dump of raw data like this and so the next report that you will be getting in compliance with both of those sections will look more like the annual report. they'll be decipher able and easy to read and understandable to a lay and esoteric audience about our data and information and on going staff. we don't have to wait until the annual report to see what all these reports look like when it's coal eight and referenced against the things we're talking about that are concurrent with con going subject matter here.

>> never again should we lose a case. we know that equates to not understand your watch, it's malpractice. >> it was one of the things this commission asked me to address. i was excited that we've had none since i've been here. that's also that spike that you see in these numbers differrations in terms of cases that were closed out from last year. >> the numbers are confusing and hard to understand. there is a section that i appreciate, the chief of police adjudication on the d.p.a. sustained cases. with respect to that section, i would like to have statistics

with respect to how many cases d.p.a. is sending to the chief and then how many he is actually and in your report it indicates and you indicate four in the month of april 2018. does that four mean that four were sent over to the chief and on four he imposed discipline or were 10 sent over. i'd like to have those number too so compare it to something. the numbers look great but unless we know the full picture it doesn't make sense. >> i agree. i would say that it was confusing to me, even if you turn the page or you look a few more pages, it looks like they're different numbers and we're talking about the same pages. my presumption is, what has evolved overtime in compliance with those two sections, is that information just gets collabrat

and put together and hasn't been processed. y. i will sa.the other thing the is the on going conversation we're having right now about confidentiality to discuss what the issues are and what the differences are both in what the d.p.a. has recommended in terms of a sentence and what the chief has decided on so that we know what we're talking about and not just a distinction and a difference with we recommended this and this was the ultimate sentence without context of anything. >> i do really appreciate that section. the other number or statistic i would like to have is the number of direct files your office does. that you indicate that that is an option that your department has, however, i don't think that i've seen or maybe it's con voluted how many of direct files in terms of cases where you want

a direct file because either you, the department or the d.p.a. or the police department or the chief specifically don't sort of -- can't come to a resolution? >> would you be interested in seeing that as complete separate sections from all this as part of answering that question with an outline of what those cases are? >> i don't know if it needs to be an outline. it would be nice to have a number of how many direct files your department has done and it should be kept in this section because you would outline it very nicely in terms of how the disciplinary process works or how the complaint process works. >> thank you. anything further for director henderson? please call the next line item. >> line 2c commissioners reports. >> we've had a busy schedule so i'll run through this quickly. we've been very busy. i intended as the chief said, the graduation of our latterral academy class. prior to that two days earlier,

i was at engelside station to honor john young killed 47 years ago and the police department honored his memory. i worked on that as a prosecutor in the u.s. attorney office. i wanted to thank the chief and the members of the department and remember john young in our thoughts and prayers and his family. also present was nina, the clerk that was shot that day. she was present and feisty as ever. in addition to that i participated along with other commissioners and meetings with hillard hines, the state d.o.j., i've been busy doing that. i did a meet and co confer along with the command staff members deputy chief sinez and myself regarding 3.09 wii is medals of valor and the process of that. we've been pretty busy working

out those issues. that's what i've been working on in addition to a lot of things. i want to say i think the other commissioners for being on the call. working hard to keep everything in sync as we move forward with the u.s. department of justice. tonight, you heard, not just a handful but probably a dozen to 20 of the recommendations were covered tonight in what we're already doing. the members of the public, it's on going and it's happening. commissioners, what would you like to report? anything further? >> we did have a buy as meeting on the 30th of this. we're going over d.j.o.5.2 and another bias working group. we don't have a date yet but it will be posted and advertised. i welcome the community to come and participate in the working group. >> thank you. >> i got a promotion.

>> i just wanted to note i attended a working group for the deaf and hard of hearing initiative, which is a group of individuals that the department was there. d.p.a., the mayor's office on disability was there. they're working on putting together a new general order that will be rolled out. hopefully soon. there was also a -- i'm blanking on her name. we mentioned her before. inspector flores' daughter who was from the -- we all know him from the hall. his daughter is working on an initiative as well and -- it's a pretty exciting project because it's one of the issues that i think people don't pay attention to but there's been some media

articles lately in other jurisdictions about issues with individuals and having communication difficulties with officers and departments working together with d.p.a. and the community to address that. i look forward to seeing that move along. >> anything further commissioners? >> clerk: line 2d commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future meetings action. the next meeting i'd like to add will be next week on september 12th, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. in room 400 at city hall. the commissioner will be dark on 9-19-18. >> with reference to now adding things to the agenda, i would like to calender for our agenda after having discussions with the chief, for us to have a discussion and an action item on october 10th, which is our second meeting in october, about discussing our participation in the joint terrorism task force. it's an issue we need to discuss

again. there is no m.o.u. we'd like to get input from the public and hopefully input from the federal. it's something we need to discuss as a commission. >> i'd like for a calender and i talked to the commissioners. wealth and disparities group would like to make a presentation to this commission and we had asked for a date? september but we're only meeting one next time in september. the commissioners is proposing october 10th for presentation and i'll get become to you on that. i'd like to get the calender. >> we will. any further announcements. >> please call. >> the public is now invited to participate and items 2a through

2d. >> please come forward. >> you were talking about and also your earliest statements about handling cases and the statue of limitations and statue of limitations and as assisted you and taking care of business and a better swift way and have more enforcement and rules regulations and as a result and turn. the court of appeals has ruled that the sit and lie law is unconstitutional. when you deal with the district attorney, feel free to inform him that that is a violation of the eighth amendment pertaining to cruel and unusual punishment. there will be no more arrests pertaining to people who are homeless in economically disadvantaged and don't have nowhere to go.

it says it clearly. you cannot criminalize a content of unavoidable consequences of people who are being homeless. also, i would like to have you enforce one of my demonstrations that i made this past tuesday, before the board of supervisors, i'm having trouble with breed. breed has pleaded the first half of the elements in order to sustain a reek owe act violation complaint and corrupt an organize enterprise by making announcements to the public that she's going to allow safe-injection sites at a church. she went to the church and demonstrating the booth and the paraphernalia that will be used. as a result, if she completes the second half of those elements by means of having addicts bring heroine into the church and having them use fake lighter to meltdown that solid

heroine component and convert it into a liquid and use a syringe and inject it into their body, she'll complete the last steps of organized corrupt enterprise of using a illegal narcotics. you will meet the franchise requirements of having hundreds of addicts coming to clyde memorial church and use that illegal narcotics and the premises of clyde memorial church. there's a 20-year possible maximum penalty for performing in that manner. there's a $500,000 fine that also can be applied to all individuals who were involved in this activity. and also, seizure of the property that can be taken away from the owners and taken and managed by the federal. so i need to have you explain

breed. she has doctors that are going along with her and they're using britain, foreign countries as a president. that won't work. it doesn't supersede federal law. there's a law. they're trying to get brown to sign a document in order to make it legal as far as state law but state law does not supersede in over paw federal law. ryan goldsteen made that announcement and i want to see him prosecuted. >> thank you, very much. next speaker. >> may it please the commission. my name is john jones. there's a lot to comment on of course that is proceeded on the agenda. throw minutes is not enough time to do that. in all due respect to the date

comrade dushinski of the soviet k.g.b. i would like to suggest you give it to the speakers of this podium. anyone who utters one of the unidentified and secret words can be taken to an insulated room in the basement for reeducation. call tractor-traile it the litt. more seriously, i wish commander lazar all the luck in the world. i really do. from my perspective, and i've lived in san francisco since august of 1965. san francisco to me as the ambiance of an occupied city. we don't have the band marching

up on market street. there aren't foreign flags flying from flag polls up and down market street. but the feeling that deadness of the city, i put it -- in my own unscientific way to the street population. criminals, homeless, drug users, and the deadening effect that that has. there are of course other reasons in my time is running down. i want to wish -- i can't wish commander lazar more luck and good fortune than i couldn't wish him anymore. thank you, very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> brad edwards district 11.

fellow citizen earlier mentioned the martin case, martin v city of boys' case. i am curious with hsoc whether it came down yesterday whether this is considered, if there's obstacles. and whether it's compliant. i know generally we don't make a habit of arresting people for sleeping on the sidewalk but i would note chief scott specifically said people can't just sleep on the sidewalk. as of yesterday and the ninth circuit maybe it's not the case anymore but i am not here to crack on chief scott. i appreciate him for all he has taken. we talk of the d.o.j. recommendation, i know that those are going to, we have to approve those and there was one minor change. one fear i have is that this is being put through in and wore getting two more commissioners

that will be voted on and it's another step towards bringing in the electronic recontrolled weapons. my concern. >> cynthia: they've been voted to be approved, however, we have not addressed the training and the use aspects. i know there's more dethales that can be deployed and those are my concerns. it's very difficult to train -- to vet and train cops we currently have given our system of law enforcement. not necessarily they're bad people but our system, i feel, is defined for failure, particularly in this situation where we have low unemployment and it's difficult for the department to get all of the competent officers they wish to. i was curious on the discussion of woods. i note it was officer trudeau, like the canada prime minister, i don't recall his exact --

noted that the officer thought someone, that the victim had died. i guess i would say it shouldn't be the result, it should be the action. i would note vice president, i appreciate when you grow that sfpd should not be responding to homeless calls. i assumed what you mean is if we get to design our system from the ground up we would do it very differently. i would agree with that completely as well. i appreciate your time. >> thank you, very much. >> next speaker. >> public comment is closed. call the next line item. >> clerk: discussion and possible action to recommend the adoption of a resolution authorizing the chief of police to accept an extended grant in

197,648 from the state of california. department of parks and recreation division of water waste for the sfpd marine unit for the project period of october 1, 2018 through september 302,019th. action. >> good evening. my name is patrick young i'm the grant's manager for the san francisco police department. per requesting the approval or recommendation from the commission for the resolution of our 2018 voting safety enforcement grant award from the division of boating waterways of the california department of parks and recreation. the total grant award is $197,648. the project per idea for this award is october 1, 2018 to september 30th, 2019.

the total term of the agreement runs from october 1st, 2018 and ends september 31, 2033. the grant funds will upgrade the navigation systems on our 2012 boat and 2013 boat. it will be used to provide search and rescue equipment on our 2012 patrol vessel as well as diving equipment. additionally, the grant will pay for two personal watercraft with a vessel trailer. the personal watercraft will be used in scenarios where conditions do not allow the use of larger vessels to operate safely and effectively. our marine unit is primary maritime law enforcement unit for the city and county of san francisco and it's responsible foresee curin -- securing and te

moose boats and it will provide the marine unit with updated search and rescue equipment and also improve it's navigation capabilities to safeguard our waterways and to improve our rescue operations. if you have any questions, i'm glad to answer them. >> thank you, very much. commissioners, you have in where you packet a breakdown of this. we have an extensive marine unit. the commissioner is very partial to the marine unit. they took her out on the boat. [laughter] >> we have several boats and it's an incredible thing. >> most of the equipment that we have received is from the military. we would get the boats for $1 or $20 and so again, it's been really helpful and we are the chief law enforcement agency on

the waterways and they're busy. are there any questions about this? do i have a motion to accept the grant? >> so moved. >> second. >> second. >> a public comment about us getting money for our boats and navigation systems? hearing none, all in favor. >> go ahead. >> i stipulate lat, if you get y type of boats that was used in the tragedy that took place where a tote family was lost. these boats used in world war ii should not be used. it should be banned because they're not equipped to handle any type of high tide and any turnover and people were drowning all the time. they should have been banned years ago so as long as you don't purchase obsolete equipment i have no problem with it. >> thank you, we agree. >> no public further public. all in favor. >> aye. >> thank you, very much.

>> the motion passes 4-0. >> clerk: the public is now welcome to address the commission regarding items that did not appear tonight but within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. speaker shall address the remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or departments or d.p.a. personnel. during public comment neither police or d.p.a. personnel are required to respond to questions presented by the public but may provide a brief response. individual commissioners and police and d.p.a. should refrain from entering into any debates and discussion with speakers during public comment. >> first speaker. >> current events have reviewed a grand jury in pennsylvania has revealed that there's been numerous sexual assaults on adolescents pertaining to little boys and little girls by people

who are members of the catholic church. sf please. there's a 900-page report with that exhibit that implicated 300 predator priests who committed criminal and rehence able acts against little kids. one priest impregnated a 17-year-old little girl. these church members who went there the grand jury revealed that have many pages found that creditable allegations of more than 1,000 victims. the finding revealed the abuse and occurrence of hundreds of people who work at the church and 54 pennsylvania, 67 counties going back at least 80 years. a parenabuse denied and coverede

attorney general mr. shapiro added. priests were raping little boys and girls and the metchosin god who were responsible for their get they hid it for decades. there were 41 predator priests. 37 in one town, 20 in another, 45 in another, 99 in another and 55 in an additional one. >> one of the things in general public comment, it has to be related to what the san francisco police department does. you are giving us a report about what is taking place in pennsylvania. if you are talking about a crime that could be happening here or has happened here. i need to focus you on to an issue that is relevant to the san francisco police department. >> that's what i was getting to. because this is a worldwide

problem. and i'm demonstrating this pattern. one priest was found in los angeles, which is in the bay area. and this is a worldwide problem and my punch line was going to be that i move to have you conduct an investigation of all the catholic churches that are located in the bay area. there was a person by the name of jim linch who was raped by a priest and sexually assaulted when he was a kid and when he turned into an adult and fully grown. he attacked and defended himself and went to a criminal courtroom and the case was kicked out. i'm giving these demonstrations to show an investigation needs to be connected in all the catholic churches that are located here in the city and county of san francisco because i suspect and i feel the same type of activity is taking place here. the priests were moving priests all over the world who were

attacking and assaulting little kids across the world. >> thank you, very much. >> next speaker. mr. jones. >> my name is john jones. i would just like to amplify my comment before that san francisco struck me as an unoccupied city. all of us are familiar to some degree or another to the french experience in world war ii. we may have have seen the movie "is paris burning." in the public library there is disk interests a french program. and this talks about the experience of a french town on the border of france during world war ii. and it wasn't one of these french programs where all the germans are bad and the french are good.

it wasn't like that a lot all. those were the complexity of occupation. as i get involved, there's over six seasons. as i got involved in this series, it's in french of course, with english subtitles. time and time again i saw the actors acting out scenes that reminded me so much of san francisco. the different levels of authority. the petty authorize tarrism, the greediness. the pure brutality of it from time to time. this is really effected my thinking, as you can tell. let me give you an example how it has effected my thinking. in my view, a major defeat for civic san francisco that the bart exit by the burger king down there at hyde and market street was closed.

that is a huge defeat for san francisco. it intercepts the flow of people to the art community. it gives victory to what is the expression, the street people who occupied that corner with their loud music and their coriousing and their booze. they beat you. the police department, with its guns and its uniforms, they beat the city and county of san francisco. they cut you off. that entrance is closed. can you read what that means for people. what that means for downtown san francisco. you should hang our heads in shame that that happened. >> thank you, mr. jones. next speaker.

>> good evening, commissioners and chief scott. my name is tammy bryant i'm a resident of district 5. i'm really here to talk off the cuff. i want to express some concerns i'm having. i read a post on facebook from the mission police collaborative about the incident at balboa last week. i am concerned about it. i under, a friend of mine's son was the victim of what i feel was the victim of police -- bad policy. basically what i heard is that police -- there's classrooms pointing guns at student witnesses. i know that students were questioned about their parents and in this carrying i know that an isn't person who was not even a witness just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time was taken out at gunpoint. apparently his image has been in the media. i thought youth were protected from being revealed. so again, i know police are in a difficult situation and we want

to keep everybody safe but i want that balboa incident to be looked into because i'm not happy as a parent. i'm here because that incident on muni the other day. i'm very troubled by it. i watched something very, very violent and i understand that the victim will not press charges. if he won't i'll press charges, just like there's a citizen arrest. i would stand up as a mother. if that was my son, i would be very upset. i do not understand why the police are not taking action against them. i was upset to read that the thugs and the violent criminals declined to press charges against the victim and i don't know since when do violent criminals get to press charges against the victims. i don't know how this is being framed. i would really like to see the police department take action against those thugs. i don't feel safe on mown' and that was unacceptable. it was attempted murder. i'm all for rehabilitation and as a model but this was senseless violence. before i run out of time, i'm

glad i was here for the presentation on the homeless. i really do feel it has been too much in the purview of the police and it should be with social workers and other service providers. police should be there as back up for safety. it sounds like on some level you are moving towards a model but i witnessed the other day, i'm talking down goff street and i see police clearing away homeless and i said to them, i hope you are not just throwing out their stuff, it should be social workers here not you guys. i'm not angry at them per se but i'm angry at the policy and this presentation was encouraging but we have a lot more work to do and i'm just very, very concerned about the effort to get rid of all the tents when there's nowhere inform people inform get and i don't believe in take are their stuff and their tents when there's nowhere to go. one of the myths is they're turning down services because they're told we'll give you shelter for seven days. no one is going to give up their stuff and seven days later they're sleeping on the streets. this is of course a bigger problem than the police

department. i just liked what i heard tonight. i really hope that more humanity and more compassion is demonstrated when the police are there to do the enforcement. >> thank you. >> i was going to say if she doesn't mind talking to one of the investigators if she has information or wants to file a complaint. i have my investigator here to speak with you. >> good evening. >> i just want to use the overhead again. i'm here to talk about my son as usual. he was first of all i want to thank everybody for the backpacks. for the school pack backs for my children and grandchildren. thank you. my son, who was murdered august 14th, 2006. and also thank you for the media coverage. i am still waiting for justice

for my son. i haven't heard from my investigator to the media coverage. the investigator i haven't heard since then. can anyone check in with him and see what is going on with my son's case. again, i always bring these names of the people that murdered my son. thomas hannah bill, which is still here. paris moffett, andrew rodu. jason thomas, anthony hunter, and marcus carter. one of them is deceased. i always bring this because i wanted to say here it's crazy how death can bring families together and life can keep families apart.

>> usf donates 100-120 pounds of food a night. for the four semesters we have been running here, usf has donated about 18,000 pounds of food to the food recovery network. ♪ ♪

>> i'm maggie. >> i'm nick. >> we're coe-chairs of the national led organization. what food recovery does is recover and redistribute food that would go wasted and redistributing to people in the community. >> the moment that i became really engaged in the cause of fighting food waste was when i had just taken the food from the usf cafeteria and i saw four pans full size full of food perfectly fine to be eaten and made the day before and that

would have gone into the trash that night if we didn't recover it the next day. i want to fight food waste because it hurts the economy, it's one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world. if it was a nation, it would be the third largest nation behind china and the united states. america wastes about 40% of the food we create every year, $160 billion worth and that's made up in the higher cost of food for consumers. no matter where you view the line, you should be engaged with the issue of food waste. ♪ ♪ >> access edible food that we

have throughout our lunch program in our center, i go ahead and collect it and i'll cool it down and every night i prep it up and the next day i'll heat it and ready for delivery. it's really natural for me, i love it, i'm passionate about it and it's just been great. i believe it's such a blessing to have the opportunity to actually feed people every day. no food should go wasted. there's someone who wants to eat, we have food, it's definitely hand in hand and it shouldn't be looked at as work or a task, we're feeding people and it really means so much to me. i come to work and they're like nora do you want this, do you want that? and it's so great and everyone is truly involved.

every day, every night after every period of food, breakfast, lunch, dinner, i mean, people just throw it away. they don't even think twice about it and i think as a whole, as a community, as any community, if people just put a little effort, we could really help each other out. that's how it should be. that's what food is about basically. >> an organization that meets is the san francisco knight ministry we work with tuesday and thursday's. ♪ ♪ by the power ♪ of your name

>> i have faith to move mountains because i believe in jesus. >> i believe it's helpful to offer food to people because as you know, there's so much homelessness in san francisco and california and the united states. i really believe that food is important as well as our faith. >> the san francisco knight ministry has been around for 54 years. the core of the ministry, a group of ordain ministers, we go out in the middle of the night every single night of the year, so for 54 years we have never missed a night. i know it's difficult to believe maybe in the united states but a lot of our people will say this

is the first meal they've had in two days. i really believe it is a time between life or death because i mean, we could be here and have church, but, you know, i don't know how much we could feed or how many we could feed and this way over 100 people get fed every single thursday out here. it's not solely the food, i tell you, believe me. they're extremely grateful. >> it's super awesome how welcoming they are. after one or two times they're like i recognize you. how are you doing, how is school? i have never been in the city, it's overwhelming. you get to know people and through the music and the food, you get to know people. >> we never know what impact

we're going to have on folks. if you just practice love and kindness, it's a labor of love and that's what the food recovery network is and this is a huge -- i believe they salvage our mission. >> to me the most important part is it's about food waste and feeding people. the food recovery network national slogan is finding ways to feed people. it's property to bring the scientific and human element into the situation.ening everyo.
