commissioner ong hing, the dpa made the point, right? >> commissioner ong hing: well, they do have a response. so we are not -- what -- what i'm -- what i am recommending and what i understand the dpa's recommendation is is that we don't use tazers against people on this list. we make sure that it's clear that you don't use tazers against anyone on this list because of the potential harm to them, right? that's why we have this list here. we don't want tazers used if there's a reasonable knowledge that somebody's on this list. we downtown want them using it. and only when you have the need for deadly force do you pull it. but if -- she may be right. if you're in that circumstance, you may pull a gun, but this is a way of making sure that the tazer is not used against these -- these populations if it's reasonably known that the population -- that somebody falls into one of these populations. it's not -- it's not removing -- it's not removing the use of a less lethal force, it's -- it's making sure that it's not used against a vulnerable po

under dpa procedures it will be under a-6. and the sentence says in case of concurrent investigations so something like we were just similarly talking about. government agency if we both gated, shall not receive the ia investigative memorandum until the completed dpa report. for clarification, that is where ia comes with the conclusion. we conclude officer x committed misconduct. it's not the gative report. they would get the record quing traipse transcripts. we want at the last -- before they turn in for their truant investigation they come up with their own conclusions at the end of that they hand it over and we will have to concur and mesh them together. that was our only equal pal at that point. they get everything under the charter, we agree. however, the chief gave up the 06-day chart tore cut to 45 days on behalf of the dpa to be able to get items to the commission prior to the 60 days. which again, is in the charter. that -- we're asking basically that we with hold a few pages. these are our conclusions tully we exchan

next. >> clerk: item eight, dpa director's report. report on recent dpa activities and announcements. >> several announcements -- no, i don't. i don't. my candidacy or pending candidacy has gone to the board today. it'll be referred again next week. in that time, my new investigators have come on board. i'm excited about them. they were here for tonight's meeting for the first time, coming to a police commission. >> and they ran away. >> they were here for a long time. welcome to police commission, mbpa. i also have my chief of staff is here, thank you so much for your work. some of the other investigators were here tonight, too, in case anyone has any information for the dpa or complaints to make with my office, we are here and present. that's it. >> president turman: thank you. director henderson. any questions for director henderson? director henderson, i was unable to attend the rules committee meeting because i was -- this afternoon, but i heard some reports, and if anyone has not had a chance to read the six-month report from th

it is the view by certain organizations, the dpa, coalition on homelessness, bar association and aclu the preferred term should be weapon not device. their position is tasers use the term weapon. weapons convey more gravity a stronger sense of seriousness to the officers and public. the department's view is that the preferred term is device because the service's department uses it as does the ucsf, police department, bart and many other law enforcement departments use device. the city attorney advises it is to use the term device with consistency with other law enforcement agencies operating within the city. officers already have a sense of gravity and consequences for using anything provide them as a tool. so, that is the first issue. electronic control device, electronic control weapon. >> i think we should stick with the term device because it's consistent with what the sheriff's department is doing for litigation purposes. again, there's no need for to us recreate the wheel. i prefer we stay with the term device. all the other agencies participating are playing a game of semantics

report on recent dpa activities and announcements. . >> good evening. i will keep it brief, thank you. right now just in terms of staff, we have 254 pending cases, down from 417 last year at this time. sustained cases this month is actually up higher. up to 25 sustained cases. we were at nine this time last year. we are down to this week 32 cases that we have been investigating beyond 270 day mark. that including the cases that are being told for criminal or administrative issues and dependent of our investigation. this time last year we were at 114 cases that were in that category. in terms of new personnel issues, we have 28 candidates forwarding to the senior investigating position. it takes a long time to hire to bring the investigator staffing up. i had a new attorney joining us this week from the san francisco district attorney's office replaced inez frankel, who retired. we have a new investigator joining us next week to handle and manage the mediation coordination. wwe are still trying to bring in a new it coordinator. i am here for the evening

>> commissioner turman: we will use the dpa's language. item number two, we will have two commissioners. item three, we'll add language as suggested by the dpa. and item number four we will leave as-is. with that, commissioners, we will now take public comment on the first item which is listed as item number two the policy of the ddo policy on ecd and the appendix. two minutes per speaker. one at a time, please. members of the public you are now invited. >> i want to say as a veteran of two rounds of working groups, the use of force and tasers it continues to amaze me how collaborative the process has been and how seriously the views of stakeholders have been taken. in terms of the discussion around the authorized use of the weapon i will say this. i understand the chief's view on consistency but as someone involved in the 5.0 negotiations we were not considering tasers. if one thing that's been proven over tasers being debated is it's controversial and dangerous. there's scientific debate about it and therefore i think it's imperative the

we felt in that case for lots of reasons that we would enforce against the company via a dpa first. a view to see whether individuals should be charged. yes, because what we see is huge amounts of money being paid back, but as one expert pointed out, as soon as the dpa deal was announced the markets were so thrilled for rolls—royce‘s future that it far outweighed the punishment. it went on io%, but that's because... who is paying for 30 years of fraudulent and corrupt behaviour? as always in these cases, the traders will build in that sort of fine. who's paying? on a separate track, one looks at the evidence to see if there is a case against individuals. we are still undertaking those investigations. there will have to be or the public will feel gravely let down. that is not how a prosecutor works. you look at the evidence. this is what the judge said. while at the same time agreeing to this so—called dpa, which was controversial, he said his reaction, when first considering the papers, was that rolls—royce were not to be prosecuted in the context of egregious criminality over decad

individual commissioners and dpa should refrain to any debates or discussion during public comment. >> time for general public comment. good evening ms. brown. how are you? >> good evening everyone. i was wondering last time they were going to write a letter to the dw. has anyone did that? >> commissioner turman was going to check with the commission staff. >> we did draft a letter under president truman's name waiting for his signature. >> if he is unable to sign it, i will sign it and change the name. >> we have it here. >> i would like a copy. again, i am here to talk about my son who was murdered august 14, 2006. we were at a meeting yesterday with chief scott, the mothers and myself on evanss street talking about unsolved homicide also. i brought up again about the posters and the murders still going on. the point is that we keep reinventing the cycle. these mothers are still talking to people about unsolved homicides and stuff. then our filings back up again. we are sitting at the meeting. i walked out. the cycle goes on. nobody is doing nothing about it. it is bringing the moth

nauert: okay, our next question goes to ansgar haase for dpa. are you here? reporter: yeah. ms. nauert: that's you. okay, go right -- go right ahead, sir. reporter: secretary, when you look at the figures that were presented until now, do you think germany is doing enough to meet the 2% target? secretary pompeo: no. [laughter] reporter: what should germany do? secretary pompeo: they should meet the goals that they agreed to. look, this is -- it is the case over the past months that there has been progress made and lots of countries who are doing better. i think president trump made that a priority. i think many of the nato allies have, in turn, made it a priority for their country as well. i applaud that. i'm thrilled with that. but the goal remains clear, or the goals remain clear. that's the expectation. it's the expectation not only for germany but for everyone who signed up for that agreement. so we're hopeful that at the summit every nato partner will deliver a credible plan to achieve that goal. that's what they signed up for. that's our expectation for july. ms. nauert: o

. >> dpa says that revoking the authority to put stricter standards in place that's what they're doing.>> the federal government and the state of california are on a collision course tonight. this is over efforts to protect the environment. joining us live from walnut creek. >> reporter: most carlet have vehicles that could get 40, 50, miles per gallon even with zero emissions. there will be and environmental fight in the court and impact what consumers find on the dealer lot. more than 17 million new cars were sold in the u. s. last year according to automotive news, many are vehicles that get increasingly high gas mileage. >> some get over 55 miles per hour -- 55 miles a gallon. >> it has impacted the car business throughout the manufacturers. >> reporter: manufacturers have agreed to get a fuel economy of 55 miles per gallon. they said it was set too high. and they want to re-examine the waiver under the clean air act and had their own stricter standards. it doesn't mean that wednesday could dictate the standards for the rest of the country. they will allow them to make cars that pe

seismic application is on dpa 201509046211. application 2016116829. note on march 21, 2018, the board voted 4-0-1, commissioner wilson absent to continue this appeal to allow time for the department to conduct site visit to verify existing conditions. so commissioner wilson, given that you were absent for the hearing on march 21, did you have an opportunity to review the material and video for this case prior to the hearing? [ inaudible ] >> clerk: okay. thank you. so the time limited for this matter is three minutes for each party, and we will start with the department to report on their site visit. >> we're going to get our money's worth for you for the first time this evening. >> i hope so. >> good evening, president fung, commissioners. cory teague, planning department staff. last time, there was some doubt raised as to the accuracy of the plans aof proed, specifically what was shown as the existing conditions and even more specifically along the northern property line in the rear -- the approved had shown that the existing building basically ran

. >> what is the dpa saying?> they're saying there's no value and nothing to see here. >> here's the thing, add your headline to several others that have come out about scott pruitt. $105,000 on a flight. there are reasons the epa would come back and say, well these thing would be out of the norm. can pruitt survive this? >> i think it's going to be difficult. time and again wen we have seen cabinet members, david shulkin first came under scrutiny because of travel expenses. president trump as gotten dissatisfied quickly with the negative headlines and made the change. >> there's also the flip of that, he digs in and refuses to make the change a lot of peep expect him to make. that was not the case with shul condition. i was in a briefing room asking questions about this when it was building up. let's get to the question on shulkin, resigned versus fired. hee making real clear he was fired by tweet. there's no other way to interpret his comments. it involves the reform acts of 1998, don't turn the channel stay wi

report it makes perfect sense to have the dpa forward allegations it has received to the da's office. i understand there are conflicting legal opinions whether that is appropriate for not. i haven't heard sound policy decisions to prohibit that, and i think the commission does have responsibility to weigh in on a policy level. >> we have weighed in. it is in here, right? >> fair enough. i support the da's authority to do that. it makes perfect sense. i it is on the oversight board for batter police and -- bart police and the officer has authority to do that. that is important so i support that. that is all. thank you. >> just to address a point. i am sorry can you direct me to the section where we addressed this specifically? >> in terms of criminal allegations? >> yes. >> on page 5 under section 3b allegations of criminal conduct. >> could you read that. >> allegations of criminal conduct if any portion of the complaint allegations criminal misconduct by a department member the dba shall immediately forward the information presented by the complaint to the department and district att

what dpas bo what facebook and instagram have and dating apps is who i want to be so the world likesgoogle and amazon have is that i'm buying tube socks, underpants and, you know, athlete's foot cream. but when you talk about valuable data, does facebook and dating apps and social media really have valuable data or our fake lives? >> here's what i think is more interesting than that is how is spending so much time on these apps changing our behavior? >> there you go. >> and that is what fascinates me. it's particularly interesting because dating apps are a fantastic way to meet somebody but they can't be the only way. and what you discover and i've talked to hundreds of women and some men in the making of this book is how much time people spend online to your point about data matching with someone who they think they know and then they have extraordinary text and flirty conversation which most people find fun. and they can have up to 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 flirty exchanges on texts before they go and meet someone. then had they meet someone, the person is completely different from who t
