carter overstone, the week before last or was it last week? i can't remember which i appreciated do you want to regale the committee with your interest in serving on the xhis commission. the floor is yours. >> chair peskin, supervisor chan and supervisor mandelman, thank you for the opportunity to testify today before the rules committee and for the chance to address the committee with a brief opening statement. the cause of police reform captureded the nation's attention in the wake of george floyd's murder, but the public's attention as we've all come to know is finite. many have suggested that the public's interest in reform is already waiting. while others are more hopeful that it will sustain, but either way, i don't think we can afford to wait and see. we have an obligation to act now while the national focus on reform might still survive the necessary momentum to propel us forward. we also owe it to the citizens of our cities, my native city to enact policies that reflect our shared values and that will keep both residents and officers
