the crime doesn't fit the hate speech. >> thank you. commissioner narasaki has some questions. >> i have so many questions. i started my career working on hate crimes. violence in particular, was, murder, of vincent chen, who was viciously murdered a few days before he was to get married by a father and son who was angry about the japanese car makers in detroit. they went after him with a baseball bat, killed him, the judge slapped them on the wrist, gave them time served because they were otherwise fine americans. i would say to commissioner heriot that there is too much double-dipping with the federal government because it is extremely difficult to get federal government to step in. there are a lot of jurisdictional hurdles. obviously the first choice is always local police. but unfortunately in this country we have a history where local police have not always been on the side of protecting minority victims. so with that, i will say, i have a lot of questions. so because we have only short amounts of time, if i cut you off it is not because i'm be

it would be as if -- you know, commissioner hans plea bargained to a crime that resulted in commissioner swig going to jail. it -- or -- or not. but that's what's happening here, and i think the primary message has to be that the code that san francisco drafted and adopted has to be followed. it had hearing procedures built in in both the health and planning code. they weren't followed. they were circumvented by a secret settlement agreement between the operator and the city. >> are you finished? >> yes. >> counselor, you don't consider this to be your hearing? >> no. this -- the hearings that the constitution anticipate are predeprivational hearings, not appeals. there are times when there can be a post deprivational hearing, but those are only limited to cases of emergency. in one of the cases that we cited, the city of los angeles seized newspaper dispensers, and the court said you really didn't have to do it. even though you posted a notice on it, there was no immediacy. it didn't pose a danger. you should have provided an opportunity to be heard. and here, this is not the hearing. t

crime, they want tougher sentences for the criminals that are convicted, and they want more stop and search. a conservative felt there was some justification for the disproportionate searching of black people. he quoted the commissionerolice. cressida dick said last year that young black men and boys were statistically more likely to be the victims and perpetrators of knife crime, making up 21 of 24 teenagers murdered so far that year. so, that's the background. they are the facts, though i'm not sure anybody disputes, because they are the official facts, and i was told that the following were the percentage of searches that resulted in an arrest. for white people who were stopped and searched, 13% of those were arrested as a result of that stop and search. 20% of black people, 14% of asian people and 17% of mixed race people. so, in actual fact, mr owen, the evidence shows that the community that are much more likely to be stopped and searched and yet found to have had done nothing wrong are white people. for the avoidance of doubt, are you saying that the disproportionate levels of stop and search exercised on black people, muslim people, people from south asia, is because we are more criminal? well, i'm giving the

institutions and of course the middle of a sex crime intelligence and his replacement and of course the new the new the appointment of a new national commissioner of the saps and lastly and that is and we shouldn't lose the institution of corruption charges against us one that isn't. certainly that's been robust action unfortunately in the habit of commission which tend to go nowhere in particular and you know this incredible attrition dragged on and on and by the time anybody notices we've forgotten what it was the commission was about in the first place at the right kinds of taxpayers so we both thought we vote for actionable and finite contusions that's what we need do you think i live on that he has to get all his government has targeted the right people when it comes to fighting corruption look at such a huge high when you begin at the community you have to start some way here that he and the government have started some with notwithstanding that i would have liked to see some of the people in the shuttle out of the current cabinet i mean that the a few key appointments remains. meaning because there's a specific one. that says they malusi
