mr. roope mirkarimi -- mr. mirkarimi responsible for his actions, others will get away with this.please, think about your recommendation to the board of supervisors. victims' lives could be held in the balance. i urge you to support the mayor's decision. >> my name is barbara and i'm part of the domestic violence community. san francisco is known for taking a stand against causes that which we find important. we cannot allow in this city a person who has clearly abused his power and used his strength against women to work as a representative of government. his conviction clearly creates a conflict of interest. as a city, we cannot allow a person who has pled guilty to domestic violence to represent law enforcement and expect the public to trust him. but what message are we sending to other cities? if he remains sheriff, ross mirkarimi will set a precedent in his department about the seriousness of domestic violence and what type of behavior will be tolerated. i urge the use of -- you to support the mayor's position. thank you. >> i am an advocate for domestic violence victims. in

. -- i have known sheriff mirkarimi for about 12 years now. mr. keith and his office never proved sheriff mirkarimi used his power to dissuade witnesses. they have accused witnesses of perjury, of lying under oath. i do not drink she would do that if she is an honorable woman. i'm old enough to remember george christopher, the mayor, george kelly -- john shelley. k]khe boxed before the mayor dug his tenure. the integrity of the mayor has been brought into scrutiny. there was an alleged bomb threats phoned in. the mayor was hustled out of the room. don't your lives matter? why weren't you hustled out of the room? by weren't the citizens house about of the room? why was it just the mayor? [tone] if it was a legitimate bomb threat, why weren't you guys removed from the room? lastly, i know the chief has been hit over the head with a glass bottle a couple of occasions. mayor]#ñÑ newsom said it was a family issue, that the family should discuss it. he would let it go at that. i think mayor ed lee has overstepped his boundaries. [tone] thank you for your

mr. mirkarimi and his family.hank you for your consideration. >> my name is george evesheeman. qséi have been working on police practice issues since the 1980's and political campaigns all my life, including since 1995 our work on the campaign with moss -- ross mirkarimi. and i heard someone earlier say that he should be treated like everybody else, and i have heard that statement all through this time, and please, i agree. he should be treated like everybody else, and he is not being treated like everyone else. i have never seen a misdemeanor case treated like this. i have never seen anything like this. i know police officers are not generally treated this way when they are accused of misconduct and that sort of thing. i am getting phone calls from out of state and my home county. people say what are they doing to this guy? is this political? well, you know how i would answer that probably. even gavin newsom, no political friend, was quoted as saying they're piling it on him. he said i should note, because it has

mr. mirkarimi into his position, it will be a lack of accountability of the system, and for him personally. i suggest that he has no credibility at this point because many batterers are asking me what i think about his position. i am dismayed that we have to go to this extent, but we need to hold him accountable, and i hope that you'll himself accountable. -- he will hold themselves accountable. thank you. >> good afternoon, ethics commission. ♪ city, i hope he give the shares job back ♪ ♪ i hope you give the sheriff back ♪ ♪ and the county jail ♪ public comment came and ♪ it was a gander whale ♪ i hope you're going to do it ♪ ♪ give his job back ♪ everybody in the city hall block ♪ ♪ give him back his job ♪ and your going to give it back release soon ♪ ♪ and you are going to bring it before the month of june ♪ ♪ give him back his job ♪ everybody don't stop ♪ ♪ everybody in the hold cellblock ♪ ♪ we can't go on together ♪ ♪ with suspicious sheriff's mines ♪ ♪ and we can bring it back ♪ once again, this time ♪ he's caught in a trap ♪ ♪ he can ♪ because he wants his job, please, baby ♪ ♪ we

mirkarimi on this matter. i want to read something for you here. i think that mr. ross mirkarimi having already pled guilty of the lesser crime of domestic violence. and he met the payments and sanctions. to think that he should be pleading for his position as an elected official, in my opinion, that constitutes double jeopardy. no one should be tried -- tried twice for the same crime. if it is a crime. as a reminder, just a few requirements for moving an official, which i learned from the books. gross negligence, [unintelligible] and gross incompetence. i think we should not try the family here. [tone] we should promote family unity. if the wife stands for the has been -- for the husband, then no one should jeopardize that interest for the sake of justice and truth. thank you. [applause] >> my name is michael. i live in district 5. i am a 35-year resident of san francisco. i would like to ask the people on the ethics commission weather during their lives they have never done anything that they regret. something that happened out of anger, possibly, or something tha

mr. mirkarimi grand miss lopez with such force he bruised hers arm aadd in that following sentence, "in that regard the commission did not find credible the version of the incident as iss lopez an the hearing before the commission. rather the commission found that the evidence contained in miss lopez' video was more credible." i think that that is helpful not only to the board, but based upon the public comments that whave received, which accepted the version and the testimony that was heard at the commission by the commission from the sheriff and miss lopez. there are many who have argued it was such a minor incident, that it shouldn't be misconduct. and yet, i think, as commissioner studley remarked on the 16th, that was a very powerful video and was more credible and more believable than the very sanitized version that we received at the hearing. >> mr. hemblig? >> i got most of that, i think in that regard, the commission did not find credible the version of incident the sheriff miss lopez at the hearing. rather the commission and that is where i ended? >> finds that the evidence contain

mr. mirkarimi spoke. he is a compassionate man he has his heart in it the people in the city in our communities. not a lot of people do these days. i hope you keep that in mind. >> i am glad to see ross back with his wife and his family. i am the executive director of a youth program called united players. personally, i don't know what happened. but don't nobody know what happened except him and his wife and god. i do not that we should put judgment on anybody. it's as in the bible that if i tell you about the splintered in your eye, what about the log in your eye? i'm not here to speak about the issues. i'm here to tell you what i know about him personally. i have been here 17 years now and for me to come out and speak for somebody, to support him, it is serious for me. i truly believe the actions that i have seen ross do in the city of san francisco have saved lives. the streets speak about ross. they are out there, the families, the kids, the mothers, they see what impact he made on the people out ther

mr. mirkarimi's level of efficacy going forward. you implored your fellow commissions to make a narrow and principal view of that clause that will enable those using it going forward to apply it in a consistent way. your report as written is not what you said on august 16th it would be. you have completely changed this draft summary into something that you did not set out to do, but you did it any way. much like you have done an injustice to this whole process. thank you. >> hi, my name is sue grisom and if you are concerned about perceptions of inpropriety, i get comments saying give sheriff ross mirkarimi my regards. he got a raw deal. i went to a lower haight merchants association fair on monday and every merchant commented on how much they love ross mirkarimi and his family and everyone of them said they believe he is getting a raw deal. there is a widespread perception of inproprietary in this case. i believe it should be delayed until after the election. this has been a political campaign and there has been a lot of misconduct

mr. mirkarimi from office.and leveraged to an accidental bruise according to the d.a.'s victim, whose staples defy the da's claim. this is to political ends, a political manipulation and personal railroading the likes of rarely occur in any municipality. i hope the body in its wisdom finds that ross mirkarimi should continue as sheriff of san francisco in the post he was duly elected to perform and two, that mayor ed lee and da masconi be reprimanded for overstepping their boundaries and using respective offices to frustrate the will of san francisco voters to remove him from office, ruin his future prospects and offend his family. thank you. >> president chiu: next speaker. >> afternoon, supervisors. recently, i was at the department -- department 29 in the san francisco superior court, the criminal division. i requested presiding judge nichols to annull the 1996 city charter of san francisco, because of circumstances that occurred at hastings college of the law, the state bar of california, some murders, 50 m

mr. mirkarimi's level of efficacy going forward. you pl

mirkarimi railroading him and 10 days trying to push this through. and it doesn't give us an idea of the information and i excuse me me mr. st. croix i was not able to read the documents of this meeting. but i wasn't able to read the minutes of mirkarimi hearing previous to those five through 10 or 12. anyway, thank you. >> hope johnson. i have two -- first i want to say it would, i understand it's been a long time that these have been, since these have been reviewed. but it would be nice if the task force cannot discuss these with each other. without having a meeting. because otherwise it's an illegal meeting. i would urge you to wait for them to have one meeting. so they could have one legal conversation about it. but in light of you not doing that, if you are not going to do that. my two comments on these are in section 2, item g, complaint. a task force referral it's a lot bit of mischaracterization to call that a complaint. it's a request for enforcement or a request for a show-cause hearing. not a complaint. it was a complaint when it was brought to the task force. that section also does not provide. i believe someone me
