. >> in your district by district challenge. it's clean, rise and fall solely on this statewide point you've made? >> by statewide we simply mean a common policy applied to every district in the state. and mr. chief justice if i may reserve the balance. >> thank you, counsel. >> may it please the court. this court's jurisprudence channels the conversation that we're having today. this court has identified two constitutional claims that could be raised with regard to the use of race in districting. one is intentional dilution of minority votes for the purpose of utilizing their effectiveness. >> you lost on the dilution claim. >> we did. the facts material to the shaw claim were not in dispute at trial. the question is whether they fall within the predominance of this court's decision. >> did the district court understand you to be asserting a district-specific -- district-specific claims? >> i think we understood it to be challenging each of the districts. >> where do you find that in the opinion of the district court? i thought

to swing the southern district southeast and south of it has the tenderloin district moving walk south across market street and a little bit into the northern taking up the no more than boundaries that will be described the workload remains relatively the same and no officers will be lost and the officers will xenophobic and additional officers will be going to all police station and more to the northern police station one - a few of the things we and the in the movement was more straight lines because some of the old district lines created new york city and crane i didn't see and pockets that doesn't get good police services because they were at the far end of the next or closer to castro and martha they merge so, i mean the northern politician and another one the market and pits public housing across steiner street from the northern police station that belongs to parks station so obviously it is going to get a lot more police attendance and presence especially like with the young people in the life that the police station belongs to the police station right across the street versus c

the district. we also looked at the population growth, potential population growth from each district and in the case of southern station moving to a new location at 1251 third street in the bayview district. the proposed boundaries. so there we have the boundaries. as we see currently, the southern district goes from market to embarcadero to channel up channel to 16th or 7th. and a little jog around 16, vermont and back up division 13 and connects again with market street. those were the boundaries for many years. the southern changed for many years. it didn't have the ballpark years ago. there were warehouses, vacant lots and now we have multilevel residential growings and it's daytime business area around-the-clock residential. this has also grown in population, more vehicles, more pedestrians, bicycles and want to challenge the traffic and it's been a challenge. it's grown. so proposed changes we start at we go south to mission and straight down mission continue on both sides as the chief said

no matter what the districts have to swing around to put that district in the bayview. the bayview station will have the same exact amount of officers and will have less area of responsibility depending on how the commission decides. that line in pencil is at 16th street but many people in the southern district have asked that the entire ucsf campus go into the southern so there is not a dividing line so that would put the new northern border of bayview to the freeway. otherwise the good news for the bayview and there have been folks that advocated that there be no more of a change that that. that the border of the bayview at this point in time will find it's way to 16th street or to mariposa. for people here from other districts that might want to speak about what's going on with your border, the other greater change is the tenderloin district will go from just north of market street to a long district come across market street to almost mission street. right now the way it's drawn from third to van ness and the northern station moves west to divisadero. those are the

known and potential district f this is a potential district been identified before this project and in resource evaluations since then we've documented this numerous times at this hearing the planning department took discretionary review and removed the proposed vertical addition of the garbage at the rear the property a detached garage with regards to the main building they left that a that 80 up to the variance hearing and subsequent to that hamburger we've sat down with staff and discussed some possible alternatives that's where the quote/unquote guidelines came back about that he put those hocking out to the project sponsor and it was clear that didn't represent a decision had that represent a decision we would have september out a letter with those points out we did with with mr. jeremy represented the neighbors i've received comments he'll be representing all the dr requesters and moving forward we communicated back to him the response from the project sponsor he gave a response i had project sponsors response and accident neighbors responses unfortunately at this time we were tr

all this didn't highlight the rich history of the district and the officers take - they realize when they go out and police this district they do it with respect and with compassion and dedication i have great officers that work every single day to get the interaction and they it is mind blowing the k i'd like to before i go further i want to thank my staff so i do want to acknowledge them so my myths statement is simple it is basically this is a historic district i want to officers to go out there and enjoy the district and interact with people and want to get out of their car and i want it very informal so what i want if they're getting coffee to walk around the block walker through a park stand there and let people come up to them and talk to them it is the biggest ice breaker i have that many people that point san francisco shake our hand and they want to know what's going on in the district it is a good way to engage i've told the officers i've done a little bit of formal encouragement i check with bhie sergeant on the areas getting covered and the officers on foot but roll up t

you both recede district by district. i suspect they'll be able to prove that at least in some districts, at least in some the statement of the legislator here did prevail and did make a difference. now, that's so they don't have section 5 to rely on as a defense, so i don't know what the defense is possibly going to be. and since we can't even think of what the defense is, why don't they just redo this plan over in the legislature and save everybody a lot of time and trouble. what's your response to that? >> there are a couple of responses. the first is i think -- >> it's a lot of trouble to redo a plan. isn't it a lot of trouble? >> it is a lot of trouble. >> the point of my question is you want to go to that lot of trouble before court proceedings or do you want to go to that trouble right off the bat and get it over with? i suspect you would have an answer to that and i'm not taking a point of view. i just want to know what your response is. >> to respond to that pointed question, this was passed after 21 hearings hel

dickey once i know he is new to the district hosed in the process of talking about and looking at the data blah, blah and he may define that role district 5 it would be a place holder but i--i don't know if this is in particular exactly what he might need and also my brothers keeper not just about our district but always coordinating with other city departments with the data so that's why i see the place holder but not the right description quite frankly and other thing thank you for the data i wanted to say that 63 .7 percent of the majority of students off to graduate this is earmarked particularly so - this money again is earmarked specific for students on track to graduate the - if the board wants to run state summer school for students to graduate if that's the loophole our graduation shouldn't be a d bar but a c bar i'll include those students it quite frankly we have students that are not to graduate period and if this board should decide to run state summer school and high school that's a different conversation when i see 2/3rd's of this going to students not to graduate only

what i'm concerned about is the southern district as commander knows is one of the busiest districts in this city. on the weekends and the night clubs are all in the southern district. the weekend is wide open, right, commander? he knows. when he was captain. he knows. do we have adequate staffing to handle that and now we are moving the tenderloin down and now we are getting more and now we are going to draw the tenderloin crowd south. my main concern chief ser is do we have adequate staffing to handle this huge input. have a good day. >> thanks, clyde. next speaker? >> praise the lord. my name is mother elaine jones. jedi -- yesterday -- i received the water for a mother who has done a lot in the community. when it was voted for the new police station, i was telling why we need it. i just care about the people and the response time for when people are having problems. a little concern about these pit bulls running around and it's not fun when you have one at family jewels. police officers walking the beat, i don't see that. i see them go into the subpolice station but i don't see t

bayview is one of 10 police districts. the only other people that is larger is the taravel district. our district currently has five sectors, five areas of geography to which we assign the officers. the area that is in question that we'll talk about tonight is what we consider the bayview one cart. what will happen is we are northernmost boundary which is currently cove when the giants were here, i was at the doormat but i didn't go to the party. we'll lose mckovey cove down to 16th street. it will have little impact on bayview. right now the mission district is covered by the uc foot print. the uc campus has it's own police department. we do assist from time to time when they might have a planned or unplanned demonstration. but it does make sense, i believe, that that border might go as far as down as mariposa because the new uc hospital. the southern most portion of that a butts 17th street. that being said, we know in the bayview there is currently a tremendous amount of growth and there will be continuing to be a treme

which is for the school district. >> >> for instance what are we doing to get more kids available or being ready for the private sector jobs that we can't fill so they get work experience? that just came up from this answer but what i really want to know about is about connections and the summer job opportunities and their work in school, so people have a job in the summer, great. i am happy they diso. i want them to make money and employment skills and do well, but then i also want that to be something that we leverage to increase their success in school and hopefully as i know you're working for, and we are all hoping to expand the opportunities for kids and how well are we making the connections? >> let me separate it and i commented on pla and 2,000 students in the c st. e academies and they get a lot of skills and within the two year program and we spend a lot of time this year helping them fill out the applications because we noticed who was filling out the applications for the internships and who wasn't, and we want the district has access in equity lens on everything that we

he also talked about the body cameras, 22nd district of course is a district that was a pilot program some of these officers wearing body cameras. as you just told us we don't know whether or not he was wearing the body camera. but there's video of this and it does show the the entire encounter you're saying. >> , yes it does. he volunteered for that body camera program. he was prayed to night by his captain captain robert glenn said, much respected valiant brave officer everybody in the 22 and district look up to, a real top cop if you would here in the city of philadelphia. you heard commissioner ramsay say tonight a brave guy one of the most heroic guys he's seen and i got to tell from you what i understand, from folks who have seen that video tape inside the game stop store this was an unbelievable gun battle at close range with two suspects armed with some serious weapons. >> commissioner ramsay was saying, dave. you heard him in that news conference saying that the bullets were flying from both sides of officer wilson but he didn't give up. he kept on fighting and trying to prot
