. >> hello, i'm mibling dening. i'm -- michael dening. i'm personally a big fan of the full specials, not really because what they are today but what i believe they can be for san francisco. it is clear that this relationship between patrol specials and the san francisco police is one that needs a lot of work and i'm sorry that commissioner marshall isn't here because i really liked his analogy because he was talking about the unruly plate round and how he came in here to make sure the rules were being enforced. i think the situation we have here is to be frank, i think anybody that is an objective observer here can see that the whole police specials program has been in neglect by the san francisco police department for a long time. there has been no enforcement or no communication or very little. so i think what we have here is a situation where we have a problem relationship and that the only way we're really going tosoever this relationship here is not by coming in and letting one side of the discussion come in and point the fingers at
