this is gloria berry, again. resident of san francisco, bayview-hunters point. i actually can't see the changes as you're making them. i was hoping that as y, as you the changes, you would read it so the public can comment. i'm watching you on government live t.v., and it's just blurry and too small to read what the changes are. if it still has any type of language that unless there's a circumstance that officers can use any kind of pressure to the neck, head, or what-have-you, that needs to be moved because there is no exigent circumstances to do that, and i'm speaking from 20 years of training and use of force experience. thank you. >> vice president taylor: can you play that back so the public can read it? i'll read it. an exigent circumstances arises when an officer has specific and articulable facts that the detainee or arrestee poses a serious risk to the officer, another person, or themselves. as a last resort and when exigent circumstances exist, an officer may place an arrestee or detainee in a prone position. when the officer determines that the dlaet

any na my name is gloria berry. i'm a veteran with 13 years of service and i'm a veteran of law enforcement with eight years of service. i have personally taken down and handcuffed men and got them off the ground myself with no assistance and definitely with no desire to bring harm on the person or definitely not wanting them dead. i think it's absolutely ridiculous that this item will be considered to meet and confer. i suggest not going by the chief's recommendation. he's saying these things because he has to work with these police officers, so he's in a tight spot. but i request that you guys who decided to be on this police commission do it for us, do it for the people, the citizens of san francisco. go forward with the amendment. if you get sued, you get sued. this is the time to be bold. if not, i highly recommend you remove yourself from this commission because we need to be about serious reform and sending clear message to the police office association that we are not scared of them, we are not scared of any

you have two minutes. >> yes, this is gloria berry again. i'm calling specifically to address the matter of the point given by the city negotiator about the confidentiality explanation at the bottom of the agenda. i don't see an explanation. i see that the items that are not confidential have been distributed, but other than that, there is no explanation on that, so perhaps in the future, we could get more explanation on that. and then, i want to reiterate why closed session is a concern to me. it's because -- and i'm not speaking to any current commissioners. i just can speak on the past, but i am concerned about who is selling out, who is a puppet, who is on this commission for further political gain, and so forth. and i think during these type of meetings with the p.o.a. and the -- and the labor relations and whatnot, we can learn certain information. i understand this is typical for labor, but if a policy as simple as just being changed, it's a policy versus if it's illegal to do it, that's different. so if there's any policy that can be

this is gloria berry, a member of the democratic county central committee of san francisco, and i'm the chair of the democratic party black lives matter committee for san francisco. i'm calling for the exact same reason almost as the last caller because during these times, it should be clear that the police commission is in the limelight right now, and to look at your agenda and to see that there's actually a continual vote, which means a choice, to hold items in closed session is frightening. and then, tonight on the agenda specifically, you've got disciplinary penalty and referral guidelines, policy prohibiting bias policing, body-worn cameras and police commission disciplinary hearings. for the public not to have these discussions and not have it edited as far as what we're being shared is absolutely disgusting at this point, especially the disciplinary penalty and referral guidelines. i'm still stuck on why the killer of jessica williams only got 40 days suspension for murder, and he's able to work. anybody in their life could survive for 40 days without pay. that's too easy and def
