marshall as my vice president. i would like to nominate dr. marshall. president marshall: second. does anyone have public comment on the nomination for vice president. commissioner dejesus: we haven't had any discussion. president marshall: i was waiting for -- commissioner dejesus: i think we have the leadership of marshall and mazzucco this year, and i think there were a lot of things that were lacking. one of them was information and the other was strong leadership. i think commissioner mazzucco understands our intent and understands that we want to be included, but i also think it is important that this leadership reflect, as i said, to affect the make-up of the commission, but also very importantly, gender diversity. i believe commissioner chan brings a different set of values to the commission. i think she is very diligent. she has already proven in terms of sharing information or making sure everybody is informed, i think she would be an excellent candidate. i'm sure -- i think we need to consider gender diversity. commissioner hammer: president marshall, thank you, and i a

president marshall: thank you. >> you're welcome. president marshall: item c. i just want to say, it has been a tough couple months for me. i want to begin by saying, we all know -- i'm sure we all know. anybody who was here about the way the community has reacted to the sentencing over in san francisco, as we did the first time around. much of the community is really hurting behind that. i had to cover that on my radio show. the first time we came on we talked about the how and why of talked about the how and why of the verdict, and this time he took us through the legal process, legal thought process and sentencing. for most of the community -- the community all they saw was the video, and they could not understand how the judge arrived at the sentencing, the two-year sentencing. and although this is a bart police incident, many people, all they see is an armed police officer shooting an unarmed black man. i just want to thank you, again, you and john bufment rris at least helped provide how this -- whether they agree with it or not, how the judge arrived at

president marshall: mr. hammer? commissioner hammer: if no one is prepared to go into this, i just have a couple quick questions. it is now deputy chief? >> no, no, no. commissioner hammer: i apologize. i have been working with assistant chief schmidt in terms of trying to update the d.g.o.'s, but the last time we talked at the tender loin meeting, we weren't clear how old the untested case is. is there anything about how many backlocke log cases there are now? >> i don't have a timeline now in terms of the oldest case to be tested, but according to our information, there are no backlog cases except for i have been told this evening, there are approximately 20 backlog burglary cases that are waiting to be assigned. the homicide cases and sexual assault cases have been assigned internally or contracted out. commissioner hammer: i don't want to debate the term, but if something is back logged and it is assigned but still back logged six months, that in my mind is still back logged. do we know how many of those cases a

president marshall: next vote. >> how do you vote? president marshall: aye. vice president mazzucco: aye. commissioner dejesus: i respect commissioner marshall and all the hard work he's done and i respect him as a friend, but i disdepree, i think we need gender diversity, and i vote no. schan chan no. commissioner kingsley: no. commissioner slaughter: yes. >> the motion passes 4-3. president marshall: commissioner mazzucco is now president, and i'm the vice president, and we'll make this change right now. vice president mazzucco: as we move forward now, i would like to say that we are commissioners with equal authority, and the story should be how thrend talented this commission is. you look across this commission, and you have dr. marshall who is a modern day saint whose work in the bay view hunters area -- he has done more for this community than most people can dream of. they you look at the lawyers on this board. starting with commissioner hammer, who is a former police officer, former police officer. an incredible group of lawyers. incredible man with g

president marshall: thank you. commissioner dejesus: this leadership training -- is it putting together the model program, or will be institute leadership training for the year and a half you're talking about? >> it will be both. what we are going to be doing is we -- frankly, i am going to look at this with the commission. we are going to put working groups together and we are going to work with university of san francisco to develop curriculum. the goal is that our people will start going through the training. absolutely. it will be both. it will be the development of curriculum but also the implementation. and the advantage of us is we are going to be able to try another thing. we are going to be able to have sort of a head start. the other goals here that i personally discussed with the university of san francisco i think is we want to make our training regional. even in our piece, we will be making that available to other police agencies in the bay area and have them also be a partner in this. the reason for t

president marshall: commissioners, anything further? if not, can i get a motion for approval of the consent calendar? >> so moved. president marshall: public comment on the approval of action items -- go ahead. >> i am the director of san francisco open government. having been elected to two terms on a neighborhood board in honolulu, i interacted with the police for their very frequently. i believe if i understand it correctly the answer to your question maybe if i am a police officer and i stop someone and subsequently set them for a traffic violation or arrest them, there is a clear connection between my stopping them and my reason for stopping them. however, if i simply stop a person and subsequently let them go on their way, there becomes some question as to whether or not i stopped them for a legitimate purpose or for some other illegitimate purpose. i believe police officers are required to collect a certain amount of data to show there is justification for the stop, even though there was no subsequent action on their part which w

president marshall: thank you very much. if there is nothing else, will take public comment on item three, please. >> reinhardt, director of san francisco open government -- ray hart, director of san francisco open government. this is on the chief's comments and on commissioners dejesus and kingsley. there is an expression -- none of us is as smart as all of us. getting members of the bay area community, one of the most creative places in the world, involved in the police department offers immense amounts of resources to the officers that otherwise would not have. it gets people in a position where they can participate in government and the actions of the police department, and obviously will foster to some degree of understanding of the community as a difficult job that officers have out on the street, and the constant questions that are raised. at some point, we will also address some of those questions so that people understand those questions are raised and get some sort of an answer. nebraska after the department makes

>> as you all know, the german marshall fund vehicle very kind to provide us with this -- has been very kind to provided us with this opportunity to have four of their european experts in bicycle planning, bicycle implementation and bicycle programs and they are experts on all aspects of the bicycle. and here in san francisco, you know, we are at this point trying to after a hiatus of three years because of court-ordered injunctions trying to implement our bike plan. so we all a collective goal, i believe, to increase the environmental and nick sustainability of the world around us that we participate in and especially in san francisco, but we do have a special responsibility because this place provides us with the opportunity that most other places don't. the geometry and geography of san francisco is up that it is easier for us being in a city of short trips to veil ourselves to other alternatives to the car. so when we want to reclaim the street and the public right-of-way and the public realm for people and basic human needs of access to the humanities that urban environments provid

you also talk about his frustration with justice marshall. if you could discuss a little bit of that it would be great. >> let me address justice marshall first. this was a topic of great sensitivity to justice brennan in his conversations with steve. he believed thurgood marshall was, perhaps, the most gifted litigator he had ever heard argue. started serving in 1956 when thurgood marshall was still arguing civil rights cases. he later served as solicitor general. he had tremendous success for his skills as a lawyer. as he explained to steve and said this with great concern about how it might be perceived by the public, he was disappointed with justice marshall's performance once he joined the court. he had a sense that justice marshall had given up as their court majority shrank. he felt as if marshall was not doing his share of the heavy lifting to preserve the game of the warren court. that is his perception. i'm just telling you what he believed. he was extraordinarily reluctant to tell you about this, probably. he believed justice marsh
