were numerous kids that had never been tested. for us, we became the basis of what is the state law, but the time required by state law is 120 days. we're down to 38 days. we think members of the public need to know that prior to this we wouldn't test kits when there was a known assailant. if they identify the assailant by someone by name, they would not tested. we test every kid now whether it is known or unknown, and i have to tell you, some of the work that the commissioner and i were just talking about, the commissioner gets credit for this. i do want to thank you. i know the former chief is one that paid for an analyst and found out some of the testing. it is important for members of the community to know that these are serious crimes. we look at these numbers and how many cases are charged or not charged and it is important. i want to thank you for your work and this is just good news.

i want to, in case he is watching, i want to think commissioner hammer for bringing this to our attention. >> i want to echo that. we were here when the backlog was huge and we were all over the press about not dealing with this issue. i think that is us and another department. i'm really glad to see that there is no backlog, that we are on it, and i do agree commissioner hammer was in the forefront of this. i think the department for all the hard work that you have done i have a quick question. i am just wondering, one of them is a number of intent of notifications and it looks like wrong number, relocation, no call back. looks like they are not notified it's a zero and i just want to say ten and 12 are kind of the same thing, even though you made an attempt to notify, or am i misunderstanding that? >> what we want -- we want to

realize -- we want to get to you the attempt. what we are saying is we attempted to contact every person that we could. we also wanted to give you a context and the number for those that we did try to attempt, we were unable to contact them. we want to give you both numbers >> but when it comes to 12 and it says people who are not notified say zero, even though you attempted it, there is an asterisk there, we attempted. something like that. >> i think we have something we can look at for the next reporting period and adjust that >> thank you, both. anything else, chief on your report? >> commissioner, i wanted to add , i neglected to bring vice president tail -- thank vice president taylor for the human trafficking. we will report back on that as well. >> thank you.

>> next item, please. >> item three b., d.p.a. director's report, report on recent d.p.a. activities an announcement pick the report will be limited to a brief restriction of activities and announcements. commission, it will be limited to determine whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. >> good evening, director henderson. >> good evening. a couple of things, our c.m.s. system just started, finally. we are converting all of our old systems into the new system, but because of that, the numbers i have are a little bit off. they all have been migrated. these are numbers from july 2nd because all the numbers are being moved into the new system. but we are at 375 open cases now versus 377. we still have a significant number of cases, more cases this year than we have had in quite a long while.

in terms of cases closed, we're at 336 cases versus 257 cases. last year, our open and pending cases, 327 versus 302. in cases sustained, we are at 39 cases so far this year versus 16 last year. in cases that are 270 days, they are still within the 3-4 range, we are at 34 and of those, 18 of those are cold cases. some of these numbers, for the cold cases are affected by the migration of the system. cases that are mediated, 19 this year versus seven this time last year. the system was kind of a big deal, but i just want to walk you through a little bit and tell you why it is important that we are doing it. the new system is called insight we have been working on this for over a year to get it done, but

the biggest thing is having a new system will allow us to analyse and report from the data that we are connecting. every time we have made these presentations, even after i have read on those reports, most of that was done by hand. it did not allow us to sort our data in realtime to figure out what was going on with our work. the new system now will have thousands of pages being printed and duplicated that doesn't need to take place anymore. the old way that had been done in the past with the occ and with the d.p.a. typist would have to type in all of the allocations -- allegations into three different systems. those forms would be handcarried to two different departments to be reentered by investigators and the attorneys and to new data systems. all of that it's consolidated is consolidated into one public bank where the errors will be taken out and monitored by the

new system. it is going to be much more efficient. for the first time we will be able to share directly with they did it -- data s.f., his all of our redacted data can be shared with the city and reviewed from our department. as i said, our monthly, quarterly, and annually reports now no longer have to be done. they will all be available and in the system. my suggestion is at some point in the fall, maybe not immediately, but i would like to have the team come into walk you through all of the new system and what it is able to do if we could schedule that for a future date. it is a big deal that this system is up and we have been live now for two days trying to work out the kinks and get it started. it is a big deal for us to bring the agency and its data into the future to help with our investigations, to make investigations more efficient

and the data that we disseminate more efficient, as well. that is my big news. in terms of the mediation is also doing really well. i've made a commitment that i wanted to do and expand and do broader communication. mediations are at over 70% this year. that is a big deal, as well. like i said, we doubled to the amount of people that were working in the mediation team. they have been working collaboratively with the department, going to the stations individually to talk to people more about the program, and we have been putting it front and center with the community and for the public, as well. the mediation program is one of the highest rated programs that we have, so we are trying to feature it more prominently for the public to use it when they come in and interact with our agency. in terms of outreach, we made a big presentation last week. we were asked to participate and

testify and present information on the hearing for the unified school district, the board of supervisors asked us to come into talk about the police department's m.o.u. in light of some of the incidents involving the balboa high school incident from 2018. we presented our new pamphlet on the know your rights campaign brochure that is now being adopted and disseminated throughout the city, and also made a couple of recommendations about the pending m.o.u., mostly for specific things. one to have training for the s.r.o., the school resource officers, two, for the individuals who are detained and arrested to have access to an attorney, three to have clear definitions defining what exited circumstances are, which outline when the police departments take action, and then four,

suggestions about data collection and reporting for custodial incidents at the school. so that was last week. we also got, a lot has been happening in the past few weeks. we had a permanent injunction, a temporary injunction was granted on some of the cases that had been in front of the commission related to the text cases, you know, that has been just under 300 hours. it is just one, but i presume that some other cases may try and join, even though they will have to file their own motions for it. we have put a lot of work into those cases so i will keep you guys updated, but for now, that injunction is likely. the indicated that at the ruling they probably should indicate a ruling. i think that is what is likely to happen.

also, we had a really good meeting with captain steve ford and with commander flaherty on some of the d.o.j. accountability section recommendations. i think it will be moving very quickly over the next few months and then the final thing is the pride complaints that we have had as well. i know the chief spoke about it. i would like to see some of the documents if you have them. we have more than one investigation going on under those things. moreover, i have met personally with the pride organization that reached out to me to talk about their concerns and like i said, that will be part of -- they have information that they have shared with my agency and with investigators as well that will be part of the investigations. they are ongoing for my agency. we have a case this evening that is in closed session, and here in the audience, and case issues come up, where my agency can be helpful, i have my chief of staff, sara hawkins, a senior

investigator, steve ball, and interns, as well, that are still here for the summer in the middle of their program. >> okay. , thank you. any questions? >> thank you. director henderson, you have said the number of complaints are up. is that a result of what i'm hearing is that you are actually adding additional allegations against officers and adding officers for supervisorial ones. what percentage of your increase in complaints as a result of what you're doing in terms of bringing forward your own separate actions against supervisors? >> i don't think that has anything to do with it because the public don't know that. these are the people that come in the door that make the complaints. i think the numbers are up do to the outreach that we have been doing in community groups. i don't think a lot of people knew what the agency was or how we operated. i think the secondary thing is

the resolving of the technology issues. so now when people -- people can contact us to the internet and make complaints. that is a convenience, you know, there were some articles about that not being operating efficiently in the past, and then the third thing i think is the access to the language access lines that my staff has been trained on now so that people from other communities can communicate with my staff to make complaints. that was very difficult, if not impossible in the past, just because it wasn't connected and working well. >> is that a result of adding charges and adding other individuals? >> i would say, no. i would say that most of those increases are due to body worn cameras, which is a new category of violations that are being sustained. that is where a majority of those come. i would say that would be the explanation for the increase. >> thank you.

>> i wanted to commend you about your outreach efforts and your efforts to make the process easier and more user-friendly. i can recall instances where clients would get very frustrated and would often times not file or go to the occ because of the onerous process of filing a complaint and all that was required as you had to actually, physically write out on a piece of paper, you couldn't do it electronically. kudos to you for making the process easier and streamlining it. >> thank you. i will say in the future, what i plan on doing is, because now that we have opened the floodgates such at it is -- such as it is, we're getting complaints about a lot of things that we don't have jurisdiction over, but people want to tell us about things that are going on on their block or in the jails, what they saw on t.v., what they see on youtube channels.

ultimately, i would like to get us to a place, staffing permitting, where we are able to make more direct references to other agencies, to partner with and feel -- field some of our calls for folks who do not know who to contact so that we can share information and get them to the right places, but it is very important to me. i think our agency will continue to be defined by how user-friendly the agency is and how responsive we are to accept and investigate the complaints that come from the public. it is part of our core mission. thank you. >> vice president taylor? >> that is my question. i thank you guys have been fantastic about getting the word out. i have seem some of the materials that are glossy and beautiful. it makes me wonder, with the increase of complaints, i don't want to add work to your plate, but a be nice to know how me of these complaints are being sustained, how much of it is, you know, people calling about things that have nothing to do with d.p.a.'s function, or things that ultimately don't

result in sustained charges, just putting that on your to do list somewhere. >> sarah will follow up. [laughter] >> thank you. >> don't you give us quarterly reports on sustained complaints? >> i do. >> and results, right? >> yeah. >> i would imagine, because the outreach effort has been so tremendous that you are getting a lot of stuff. how much of it is junk mail, how much of it is a real? just a little bit more information on that. >> that will all be in there. and that speaks to the question that i think the commission was asking about the added allegations and context to the actual complaints because none of the complaints that come in reflect added allegations at all that is not part of what gets measured, but having the breakdown i think is really convenient and i have been trying to make those quarterly reports more relevant so you can see with a breakdown of not just to his complaining, but what they are complaining about, what

the results are, in each quarter i try to add more and more layers as i get more and more information and i am able to pull out the new system -- and i'm able to pull out. the new system will help, but you will continue to see better and baiter -- better data and our work becoming more and more transparent. i always want to have more feedback if there are more directions or mirror layers that i can add. it will only continue to improve >> you reports have gotten better in terms of giving of detail as to what the complaint is and whether it was sustained or not. i think it is important and it gives us all an idea of what really is coming in and out and how credible it is. >> we are in the zone right now of trying to move beyond just a data dump and trying to do actual analysis that is clear, both to the commission, and the public as well, so that they can see some of the things we're talking about, including every time i present, you guys give me input about things you would like added that make perfect sense when you say it, so now you will see, i think in our

next annual report, we are not just going to have information on there that is not defined so that people can understand because they don't understand the police terminology, they don't understand the investigation terminology or the d.p.a. terminology d.p.a. terminology. it is broken down into ways that people can understand and can track what kind of complaint they are and where they are coming from and what the results are from the complaints that are coming through the agency. >> thank you. >> thank you. next item, please. >> item three c., commission report. reports will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. commission president's report, then commissioner's report. >> i just want to report, i did it i followed up on something that director henderson said. the court has issued a polemic injunction. we had a hearing set for next week in our session that was

going to be closed disciplinary session. the court hasn't joined us for proceeding with that so we will not meet next week. we are not ready to fill in the agenda with other items. our next meeting will be august 7th. is that right? okay. thank you. any other reports? >> i attended the lapd meeting and -- on tuesday and chief, i want to thank you for letting officer car attend that. the portland trainee brought back a lot of great information and we will learn more as we go forward, but one of them is there is an online dictionary for multiple languages for legal language, like the difference between consent and permission, you know, what the legal term is and stuff. that is available online and available to our officers, available to interpreters. there is a lot of things that she has learned. also, mr. stevenson, did he leave already? he gave a presentation on the department's new website, and

asking and seeking input from the meeting about how to improve it, and one of them -- for the different languages, they will put flags next to it but they also want icon so they can show people where, you know, quickly where they need to go and they also want to have, putting icons or tabs that they can hit and the brochures will be there in different languages, how to fill forms out, so they had a lot of information to add. it was great to have mr. stevenson there. that is my report. >> thank you. >> thank you. i just wanted to talk about the working group meeting that we had on 1421. it was a really productive meeting. we had a lot of stakeholders there with respect to the protocol that the commission is drafting and we will hopefully be adopting which would sort of give us an outline of how the department, how d.p.a., and how the commission all release

records under 1421. so it was a really great meeting we are in the process of obtaining feedback from the community and getting their input on the protocol that we have so far. we weren't able to get through the whole document today. we got through half of it, but we did invite people to submit briefs and/or letters or whatever it is that they felt with respect to their comments, and its, or suggestions regarding the protocol that has been drafted thus far, and we intend to have another working group within the next few weeks to address the rest of the document, and be on the lookout. we do not have a date yet for the working group, but it should be within the next three weeks. so just pay attention to the commission website which would have the documents and information of the meeting. >> thank you. >> i want to echo what she said. we had a very productive meeting today. it was actually very nice.

it was refreshing, we actually had a dialogue. people spoke with each other as opposed to people coming to the podium, making allegations, people appear not being able to respond, but we had an incredible dialogue involved with the attorneys from aclu, the public defender's office had great input. it involved the police officer's association council, they had great input, involve the police officer's peg groups, the employee groups, we had a lot of folks there. i tell you, we had a dialogue and we talked about things. we requested a briefing and i think it was very riffraff it -- refreshing. i think we were quite pleased with the results. we didn't finish what we needed to finish and we will get briefings from folks. obviously we will follow the advice of our city attorney because they are our council, but again, it was excellent. i have to say it was excellent. i want to thank the members of the public and the public defender's office, aclu, the p.o.a. earlier in the day, i attended over the phone, for quite a

while, the task force on staffing. that was quite interesting. thank god the deputy chief was there. there was a lot of -- it is very data driving -- data driven as opposed to realistic, let's put our officers where we need them in the community. i cracked a joke with a commissioner. i think after this meeting we will end up with 800 officers assigned to the tender line, anyway, it is good, we are learning and we will hopefully get an idea of where we stand in terms of staffing our investigative bureau, our patrol bureau, and needless to say, being part of this a long time, i think our numbers are much lower than they were supposed to be in the first study with comparable cities and our department is a very understaffed and one of the reasons they gave us way back when is you are okay because you were such a small city, it is easier to get from one call to the next. that is not the case. i want to think the

commissioners. i think we had a very productive day. >> thank you. >> thank you. first i was fortunate enough to take part in the pride parade, which i have done many years before. for those of us -- i didn't see the protesters and the things that ultimately happened, but the parade was delayed for a long period of time, over an hour. but one thing that is always remarkable and that i really love about pride is that it is essentially just a love bomb in san francisco. even after, you know, everyone waited for more then an hour for the parade to be able to continue, everyone in the crowd was just tremendous and supportive and loving and positive and pride is just probably my favourite day in san francisco. and even with the unfortunate events, that did not change this year. it was really a wonderful day

and, you know, everybody who participated in it is part of what makes this such a wonderful city. and then also, the commissioner and i participated in the bias working group. we made a lot of headway with respect to d.g.o. 1107 which governs the harassment protocols within sfpd and hopefully we will have a product that we will be able to release to the public soon. we are still working out details of 5.03 and 5.17, but hopefully two of those will be on not too long a course and we will be able to present those to the commission, as well. >> thank you. next item, please. >> item 3d, commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration of future commission meetings. >> one of the things i wanted to -- one of the things we should talk about, maybe we should put on the agenda is something we

really need to reflect on. now that we have 1421, which has changed the use of force and officer involved shootings, i think we really should put on the agenda and have a discussion on the firearm discharge review board. i have had some concerns about that for a long time because d.p.a. and the police commissioner sits on that review board, but we have no votes. and just the department has the vote. just by sitting there and by these meetings coming out, it is like we sanction whatever vote that is there even though we don't have an opportunity to vote. what i'm thinking, since 1421 has come down, maybe we should talk about restructuring that and having community members, at least with the use of force, portions that are susceptible to 1421 and have community members sit on these review boards in terms of assisting and bringing their ideas to the table. i think that would be really helpful. i would like to put that on

agenda and talk about restructuring this firearm discharge review board. >> okay. thank you. any other items? okay. hearing then, next item. >> just as a reminder, the police commission is dark for the next three weeks, that is july 17th, july 24th, in july 31st. the next regularly scheduled meeting will be august 7th, 2019 here at city hall, room 400 at 5:30 p.m. the public is now invited to comment on line items iiia through 3d. >> public comment on items that we have discussed so far? >> hello, brett edwards. district 11. i didn't hear any comments or discussion of the budget. i would note that the budget is appropriated, a proposal is a christmas list. when you conflate your 1920

proposal with your 18-19 or your 1920 proposal with your 1819 prior year appropriation, you are making a material misstatement and for those of you who saw chair fewer read chiefs got the riot act regarding this, it seems that some folks didn't understand the import of this. we issue bonds. this is important and i know you want to game it and say, hey, i asked for all of this and i didn't get my pony or my baby sister for christmas, but that is not a budget cut and it is important to know the difference so far president hurt -- hirsch requested them regarding interactions with the press. i would like to know if anything is moving forward on that or if there is a public component to

that that you envision. the extended range weapons comments, as he described in his earlier meeting, i know that we aren't committed to have a discussion here, but those comments, they greatly improve understanding of what we saw between the chief and the commissioner. the select verbalizations sometimes exhibit the hallmarks of discussion, but they can usually be packaged and i think that helps all of. >> thank you. any other public comments on items three through four? >> commissioners in chief, is there still going to be general public comment? >> yes. >> i would like it if, i wasn't able to really follow the

presentation of the department's collection and now for the sexual assault kit evidence. i had trouble following that so if someone could translate it into simpler english. are we keeping up with the reporting of the results of sexual assault to victims reports? are we up to date we are we way behind? if you can translate that into simple english, i had trouble following it. >> thank you. unfortunately the individuals who made the presentation aren't here, but maybe we can arrange to have you speak personally to somebody who can explain. >> i would appreciate that. that would be what you referred to as a rape kit, right? >> yes. >> thank you. any other public comment on the items we have discussed already? this is on items iiia through 3d

we are not on general public comment yet. >> this is on item three b. >> thank you. [speaking spanish]

[speaking spanish]

>> your time is up. your time is up, sir,. sir,, sir,. [speaking spanish] your time is up. thank you. thank you. next speaker. are you going to translate? >> yes, i am. my name is louise who is a family man, a mayan indigenous man being murdered of the san francisco police department april 7th, 2016. the names of those officers are nate steger and michael malone. our family has looked fought for all legal means to demand consequences for those officers and so far we have been ignored which has deepened our trauma

and despair. at the end of june, my family and i learned from a newspaper story that the department of police accountability found the says that -- subjects broke s. fpd policies that are there to protect citizens from police abuses. imagine our surprise and hope to learn that there will be consequences, but it means the d.p.a. is a brief and temporary discussion for each one. we also understand the chief of police can ignore this recommendation. more importantly, my family and i believe that we can raise the bar and police accountability and fulfil a long-standing demand of communities of colour in san francisco. that is why i speak before you today to employ you to take your duties seriously and defend the fulfilment of the policies that you approved to safeguard life. how is it possible that the only consequence for these two policeman for violating the law and killing my cousin is a simple suspension. enough easy enough. fulfil your duty and order that these irresponsible men be fired

if you refuse every once and for all that you are a commission that does not take itself seriously and that you are really there to ensure the murder of incident -- sit ins go unpunished forever. >> i think this was general public. -- general public comment. i don't think this relates to something that we address. next speaker, please. this is on items iiia through 3d >> a response for the d.p.a. report that is also about louise by murdering this individual, less than 36 after they arrival at the scene, the officer michael malone and the sergeant showed blatant wrist does disregard of the life, date blatant bliss regard to the basic and simple rules of the

use of force policies. time and distance. callous disregard for the suffering of the family and community. they should be held accountable for your restless acts of violence. i am asking that michael malone and nathaniel steger be fired because they are a threat to the public, especially to people of colour. as a nurse armed with only a stethoscope, i have had training in de-escalation and always use those techniques with the commitment to do no harm. michael malone and nathaniel steger had crisis intervention and other trainings as s. fpd hammered home the basic principles of time, distance and establishing rapport in a crisis since 2,011. they have violated every basic principle and killed a loving and generous father, son, brother, cousin, friend, someone who was particularly vulnerable

because he was homeless after an eviction. there has been known just as already for family or for any of the families for police violence in san francisco. the very least that san francisco can do is take away their weapons and fire them from their jobs. thank you. >> thank you. next. >> this is regarding the d.p.a. report. the officers murdered them in 29 seconds. they should have been indicted and in jail, short of that they should now be fired. all of this talk of 21st century policing, de-escalation and creating time and distance is meaningless and b.s. if there's not the wait of accountability and punishment behind it. the ultimate bad behavior by cops will not be curtailed otherwise. and the case suspension is a slap on the wrist it is

disrespectful and unjust and they must be fired to send a message. [applause]. >> any other public comment? >> good evening, commissioners. i am an episcopal priest and i have lived and worked in the mission for many years with my family. i want to speak to the d.p.a. report as well. as a gay man, i remember how i felt when i learned that dan white, after murdering harvey milk and the mayor would spend only a few short years in prison at that moment, the lives and struggles of gay people seat team trivialized. deemed unimportant. but our pain could somehow be placated and brushed aside by giving dan white such a lenient sentence. many of us feel that way today as we hear about the leniency shown to jeffrey epstein after

all the lives he has destroyed and many of us feel that way hearing that the killers of this man may only receive a few weeks of time off for what they did. if this were simply an administrative concern, a failure by these officers to meet certain department standards or follow certain protocols not showing up for work, let's say are failing to submit the necessary reports, then an administrative moment and measure like this might make sense. but this is more of a failure to follow x-men -- and ministry have expectations, not just a management issue. it requires weightier consequences. comanche life was taken. his wife and kids will have a hole in their hearts, the trauma of those bullets that riddled his body will now be theirs to live with for the rest of their lives and the wider community of the mission where i live which

is no stranger to excessive use of police force. these two have been traumatized. it is not just rhetoric to say all our lives are still diminished by what these officers have done. none of us will ever be quite the same again. please do not think of this as an administrative matter. it has profound human and moral implications and these must be considered in determining consequences. >> time is up. next speaker. >> i have a few of my own words to say in response to the department department police accountability agenda item. i am a 12 year resident of the mission district. i am a provider for the school district for good samaritan family resource centre and the felt in statute. i have worked with the family in the past and there was -- they are respected members of the

community. when i am doing my job, if i were, at any point to violate the policies of the organizations i worked for to the point to which it led to the death of one of the members of the communities i serve, i would no longer be working in any of those organizations or any organization of any similar organization in the city. the bay area, california, and probably anywhere. >> thank you. next speaker.

>> good evening. i also speak on behalf of justice for luis. he will recall that at the time that s. of p.d. rolled up and killed luis within 29 seconds of arriving on the scene, it was after the panel had been in panel to determine the depth of racism. after the shooting of mario woods, after the u.s. department of justice was here investigating s. fpd, there was so much heightened activism. i will never forget the january police commission meeting here in the tenderloin when the p.o.a. showed up to show their defiance. they did not care. in front of their own commission , their own oversight, they have no respect for all of

the communities that are engaged in activism. your role as their oversight. you showed up with their guns, they will lead to their way to the front of the podium, and it was just unbelievable to me. that with that many layers of oversight that they would feel that they could just roll up on this man and kill him within 29 seconds of arriving on the scene who do they think they are? it is so important that we have accountability. we can have 272 recommendations, we can have the forward meeting, we can have all these different things. if there is no accountability when people defy these things, why are they going to stop defying it? i urge you to fire these officers, send a signal, assert myself. you are their oversight. they must respect to you. >> next speaker.

>> good evening. my name is chase, i am a candidate for san francisco district attorney. i want to take a moment to reflect on the fear that police officers may experience when responding to a 911 call about someone carrying a knife. the fear that they would understand and experience when they get out of their car and not knowing what they are confronting that they are any day on the job. they do far more in this city than the agency was designed to do, responding to a homelessness crisis, mental health crisis, and drug addiction crisis. it is because of those fears that would polite just provide the police with overprotection, funding, tools, man and woman power to do the job. it is because of that fear and

the risk that officers face in the line of duty that we have rules to minimize the help of violence and loss of life. and those rules are essential, not just to protect people like him, but to also protect officers themselves from being hurt in the line of duty, to ensure that we have trust between the communities that officers swear to serve and protect and the police department. trust that has been tremendously damaged by racism, by theft, by dishonesty and by murder that goes unpunished. it is essential for public safety that we have meaningful consequences for a police officers that failed to follow rules and regulations put in place for all of our safety. thank you. >> thank you. i just want to make one comment for the public so they understand think something. this commission does not have the authority to issue any

penalty in a disciplinary matter that is greater then the penalty that is being sought for the charging agency. we're prohibited by law from issuing a greater penalty in the penalty that is sought here. i just think that is important for you to know. next item. >> line item four. >> do you have public comments now? >> correct. >> all right. do you notice the disconnect between all of you and the public? until the public started to speak, all of you were commending each other on everything that you have done and here is a family that is grieving. here is a community that is afraid of their own police coming to speak to you and this idea that we can't talk about what the chief of police doesn't say or the d.p.a. doesn't say, even though it is all over the press is absurd. that is why we can talk to it like the braking into the journalist's house. that just disappeared.

it was all over the media. nobody says anything. all i hear is commendation. when are you going to call the police officer's association on the carpet here and tell them to stop advising their officers to say they fear for their lives, to stop saying that the d.p.a. wasn't brave like the district attorney to not press charges? when is there going to be any accountability because when police officers can kill with impunity, no matter what you train them, they know they can do it and they come within 30 seconds and kill a human being who is no threat, no threat at all. i knife next to them. many people have knives because there is no safety out there. there is no housing, there is no care. when will this change, one of the officers going to have to look in the eyes of the people, the families that are grieving, that they have killed? when there will be any restorative justice? we don't want the police in our community.

we don't want to. we want to take care of ourselves. we don't want you to come and kill us. we are done with this. we don't want police at all. we don't want your guns, we don't want your beanbags, we don't want your tasers, none of this. >> public comment is now closed. next item. >> line item four has been removed. line item five, general public comment. the public his welcome to address the commission guarding items that do not appear in tonight's agenda but what are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. they shall address the commission as a whole and not to individual personnel. they may provide a brief response to individual commissioners and police d.p.a. personnel should refrain from entering into any debates or discussion with speakers during public comments.

>> general public comment although i think we have had it, but we will have more. >> i have general public comment >> chiefs got, my name is ruben david goodman. i am a retiree of the san francisco assessor's office. during my time in the assessor's office they held him to be the elected assessor. i had the pleasure of helping him give the endorsement about various democratic clubs and voluntarily drove him around his lint -- lincoln continental. i like to dedicate my reports to richard. it was my pleasure to know him. he was a real gentleman, he did not last long as chief, unfortunately, but i think the assessor would have been a very secure job with a good paycheque

, but he rose to take the challenge of police chief and unfortunately that did not last. i want to give regards to his ex-wife, elizabeth colton, and his children rj and ashley. the father was a great man. my mother was muriel schapiro, born february 26, 1920 in chicago, a nice jewish girl who sang italian opera. my father settled in india. [indiscernible] they risk their lives to form the c.i.o. my uncle, may he rest in peace, was known as the chicago kid.

i have a brief poem that i dedicated to the men and women at the sfpd. and in love and memory of our fallen comrades. ashes to ashes -- >> thank you. your time is up. can you submit the poem, if you would like? >> god bless the men and women of the sfpd. >> next speaker, please. >> hello, district 11. usually i am more afraid of s. of p.d. today, we've got probably a poorly vetted and undertrained deputy over there who will interact with a member of the public in that fashion. i was very offended about that.

there is an order that i know you take seriously. the website, let's talk about that real quick. not surprising. we have infrastructure. it got shouted out a little early. there is the number of things. yes, it needs some quality assurance work. best thing you can do right now, it is not indexed, it is not indexed to internal or external search engines. you will do an old webpage. it will give you a 404 error. if anyone who does this that is a professional, it is the first thing you do. it is easy, it is a button. maîtres -- matrix staffing study , this will be a joke. they will come out and say, you need to bunch more. because they will compare with all of the other police departments. aren't we better than that? aren't we better-than-average? won't we figure out a way to fulfil the tasks, and get the

ends that we seek as opposed to, hey, let's put more cops out there and give them every job that nobody else wants. that is not good for anybody. when they have too many of those things to do, then they are taxed -- then the tasks that do involve security and weaponry, then those are the things that they have less acumen at. i appreciate in the commissioner noting commissioner hammer's work. i thought it was well presented. i think the commissioner was baiting these sometimes back when he has commended the commissioner. and said i was president, i let her do it with the train. >> thank you. i don't thank you were being debated or any other public comments. >> good evening. how many minutes? >> two minutes.

>> can you start me over? >> please. >> i would like to use the overhead. i am here concerning my son who was murdered august 14th, 2006 next month will be his anniversary, august 14th. he was shot at 3:00 p.m. in broad daylight from a semi automatic gun, 30 rounds of bullets left. i am still coming here as usual every wednesday to bring awareness to my son and other children that are dying senselessly. you just got to talking about all the other homicides that recently happened. i said last time that i was here that homicides were going to happen again because here is the summer and they are happening. three of them, one of the boys's family members are in our circle

we are expecting them on this thursday coming up, the boys that were with the young boy. so we talk about families suffering. these families are suffering and we are talking about police killings. i just wish that the intention that they give to the police killings they give that same attention to the community violence, but it is not there and i don't know how to make it happen. but there is nothing i can do about it. i know that august 14th, i just want to let you guys know that my son did have a father. he was not a single son. he had two parents at home. this is what the perpetrators left me of my son. i see -- i show this because they want people to see what i am going through. here are the perpetrators and the murderers of my son.

they are walking the street to kill again. what do we do? i am asking for help. >> thank you.

>> you still have a quorum. line item 9 whether to disclose discussion on item 8. code section 67.12a action. >> is there a motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> is all in favor. public comment? there is no public. all in favor. opposed. i assume the motion was not to disclose. >> yes, that was my motion. >> line item 10 adjournment action item. >> all in favor. aye. >> public comment. thank you. pleted copies of any

speaker car ed copies of any [gavel]. >> chair ronen: good morning, everyone. the meeting will come to order. welcome to the july 11 special meeting of the rules committee. seated to my right
