spat on an officer and insulted all officers present calling them sons of bitches saying bang your mothers on your graves. so he is remanded to the custody of police station one he's aged 16 to be picked up at the station later by his parents but up court and the officers were only trying to stop a brawl. in another case from 2 days ago the subjects' began resisting a female suspect bit one officers arm and another's face and struck another in the chest to restore control over the situation at least 2 other subjects had to be pinned to the ground and restrained to fix it. can only speculate as to why disrespect resistance and abuse have generally increased. for one i'm sure something is lacking in their upbringing their parents may be unable to handle things these days and the courts have so much. to do that many cases aren't processed completely. british bob odenkirk and song by i get it when things bother me personally in court i have to put on the teflon and just take the abuse as a police officer. should study then you wonder if any judge realizes what the current situation is really l

you talked about simplifying setup for new offices. can you give us some concrete suggestions we might adopt in that realm? mr. kiko: i do. let's just say there has been a lot of negative feedback about setting up the district offices for freshmen, and i might as well hit this right at the beginning. what i did, i asked for a flowchart on how complicated is it to set up a district office for just technology. i brought it with me. there are over 80 steps that we have identified to set up technology in the district office. i think that over the years we have tried to bring out as much butciency as we can, sometimes the process is so complicated that you can't. i would say on something like that, maybe right at the beginning, with a freshmen office, we could give somebody a 5g or 4g router, you can get set up, you can have the office functioning, and then we will do all the other things we are supposed to do in the 90 day period we are supposed to. but when you multiply this by, some members have more than one district office, it is -- it

of course, the offices that suffer mostly from the lack of hr support, are the freshmen offices, thenes that have the greatest needs, because they are setting their office up for the first time. for all these reasons, the house should consider creating an hr department that provides these services to house offices on an ongoing basis. thank you. >> thank you very much. i will now recognize myself for five minutes of questions. starting with you, mr. kiko. first of all, i missed the launch of the wellness center. i guess i started a couple weeks too late, and if it came into my inbox, i totally missed it. i'm going to have to figure out how to access that. maybe we need to offer it up to members more frequently. ok. i was also really excited about the idea of the staff leadership academy. i know my district director is here now participating in that, and she has been anxiously anticipating it to pick other people's brains and steal all the best ideas. >> thank you. >> we appreciate that. you talked a little bit about simplifying setup for new offices. can you give us a couple concrete

just resources for the officers. it's a work in progress, but having the beds has been great, but the officers need the tools to do the work. >> president hirsch: which what does that mean? >> which means continuing to work with our partners in city government. for example, the announcement of the new navigation center in the bayview was important. i know we tried to do the waterfront navigation center up and running. if i had to call one out, that's the one i'd call out. >> sam peaks with public works. i won't take long. i just wanted to elaborate on what he said, the commander or deputy chief or david. i think beds is the number one issue. our frustration being out there, seeing the folks that are out there, you know, in need and not being able to actually help them is probably the main issue from public works' standpoint because we're seeing the same people over and over out there on the street, so i would say beds is probably the main issue. >> president hirsch: all right. so your request would be probably a coup

i have been pleading that our officers need to work in jail should we any have band with another officer maybe it would have never happened because individuals saw that there's 2 of them there's only one of me i'm not going to fight this situation . probably any other officer would have had an individual none of bulky coat maybe the hands are in and out of pockets and the actions of that individual caused the situation become what it became. chief when terminated old brother officer. the firing was cowardice and unsupported by fact what about you 3. called in sick. them. as voted their voice shall be heard the vote. 99.3 percent 99.3 percent voted no come. cheap cannot stand before the membership in the lead them probably give them the confidence so that they can protect the community then maybe it's time that he packed his bags. out there looking for patterns. certainly over the next creatinine couple situation for example. i don't know how people stepped over the sure how are you good if you would like to give a simple hope that would have been for the mayor as you know we invited him

to be officer and doctor. same exact investigation by multiple times in the works you know you never seen the people who do not live in the situation we don't believe that every officer can do no wrong but why do you want to off if you as the sacrificial lamb. are on the. stand was the was. any reasonable was or would have had to conduct themselves as officer many. well you know statement of no confidence. 99.9 percent voter who i see was handled. how. do we are you ok. do you. think oh. i'm sorry if i think some of you have the elements of the far right party. oh. good afternoon today i am announcing that the marketplace department will commit to having all elise officers receive 40 hours of crisis intervention team training by 2017. this is breaking news coming out of the st louis area great series from release they have reached a decision whether to indict wilson in the shooting death of an arson. michael brown we said good announcement. not. manager and now we go you just keep. like he was set up so my kid

>> i went to the office -- excuse me. my team, my office went to the office of legal counsel first. it might be executive privilege. they viewed it and said we've determined that it appears to be executive privilege and until executive privilege is determined and cleared, i did not have the authority to be able to send that. i worked with the office of legal counsel for the past several weeks to get resolution on this. it's a very deliberate process. >> i'm still trying to understand the chronology. so you first went to the office of legal counsel and then you went to white house counsel? >> we went to -- excuse me. repeat that, please. >> i'm just you trying to understand the chronology. you first went to the office of legal counsel and then you went to the white house counsel? >> no, no, no, sir. no, sir. no. we went to the white house first to determine -- to ask the question -- >> that's all i want to know is the chronology. so you went to the white house first. so you went to the subject of the complaint for advice first about whether you should provide the complaint to congres

right now we have the lowest office vacancy rate, in the nation, second with office rent, second onlyto manhattan. fees have never been a determining factor in development. i think her than that, one of the things we have to keep in mind is that the people who build office things, the union workers who have those jobs, are also the union workers who build our affordable housing. there is a multiplier effect that we have to keep in mind [bell ringing] these fees are creating more union job out of the office all day that is going to continue to happen in san francisco. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon again. peter papadopoulos with mission economic development agent the and also this time as well -- [inaudible] we strongly support resetting the fee at one third of the nexus level. we think that is a very fair level. i want to detail some reasons why we think that is more than fair. given some other issues that we think are being fully captured even and some of the argument. sfgovtv may have the overhead please? i wanted to look at this scenario.

doesn't matter whether you are a one officer department, four officer, 1,000 or 30,000.hen you put on that badge and the gun, the standards in which you police with, there should be standards. and i believe you said it, chief davis, that if you were going for any other profession, there are some minimum standards that you should have. do we want anybody doing the job of a law enforcement officer one where he or she will be out there on the streets by themselves making life and death decisions? we want the brightest and the best. and every agency should spend their time trying to hire the best and the brightest men and women to do the job. we know it is going to cost, ms. carr, to do that. but we need to work together to see how we can get it done. training standards. we not only want the brightest and the best, captain. we want the best training so that when our men and women -- if we want them to survive not just physically but to survive their jobs and not be in front of a courtroom, then we have to give them the tools to survive. and training is one of those tools. us

the dpa, the police commission, the public defender's office, the district attorney's office. it was a very productive meeting the best part was, there was a dialogue, rare in this day and age. we had the police attorney speaking across with the aclu, or the public defender's office. it was extremely productive. i think out of this we will get a good work product that will withstand litigation and make its way through the collective bargaining process with reference to working conditions of the officers. i want to thank the commissioner and all those who participated, it was very productive. when you have a meeting with 1.5-2 hours. and people actually talking to each other and exciting also i attended and spoke at the graduation for our police we had 19 new recruits graduated two fridays ago. nineteen out of a class of 50. i think people realize it is very difficult to. we graduated 19 new recruits and we graduated five lateral recruits that had come in a shorter course. we have 24 new police officers the best part is seeing what a real diverse group it is. seeing the pride a

you can provide officers. you can provide the support and funding to jurisdictions to implement 21st century policies are fair, es that safe, and effective. this vision of public safety, communities and police departments must rebuild trust. era of public safety will require community-driven solutions and investment in services, including education, housing, employment, and health care. coalition is committed to ensuring policing practices that respect the dignity and humanity all people. we look forward to working with you until the day these reforms law.signed into thank you. hair nadler: thank you very much. since one of our witnesses specifically commented on the testimony of another of our we've been asked by the minority if she can comment, will grant 1 1/2 minutes o ms. macdonald for that purpose. ms. macdonald: it's ironic to national dy from the academy of science as junk science. correlational means it's not a regression analysis. evertheless, the findings remain accurate, that they found no bias in

so how do most american officers learn to become officers? you have a handful like charles lee or horatio gates who have been trained by the british. how do most learn? >> they get a booklet. >> they get a book. two of your most successful general, henry knox and benedict arnold, american hero up until a certain time anyway both sold books. so how do they -- making it a little simplistic, henry knox becomes the head of artillery because he read a book on it. so they are many ways self-taught so they are going to these military texts to learn how to be officers and soldier. religion upon which true honor is founded, the idea that there is an ethical basis in the military, this concept of honor. honor consists in the constant practice of virtue and the duty of a soldier's honoree and properly performed. the idea that if you act well in a battle or campaign that you are doing your duty, you can receive honor. used to be that honor was only for the victor. james wolf who had been a british general that actually died during the french and indian w

up with more officer training. we are looking at a range of topics, bill of rights, investigations training, so forth. so we want to develop this continuous training for the new promoted officers and chief officers to continue this too. so we really had a lot of focus on this for the future of the department. training division, we continue with the training, we started on july 1 it's going to go through november. we have the captain attend every training so far. we started to incorporate station 49 with this training. we trained 61 members this month so far 107 so that's great progress to get these trained in different topics of the department and be more involved so i want to thank the ems training division that is helping with this. so far for our members this month in august we trained 222 with a total of 149 members trained on active shooter. and i sent you to the drill we had in june and we just saw that for too so thank you for that. recruit training, we have a new recruit captain that was selected by the chi

. -- more women in office. she would tell them the statistics, try to illustrate this point to them, give them the data, and she was actually shut down by people who were offended by the fact that she was giving them that data. the other thing she said that actually really did shock me was that she was calling very powerful, wealthy women. some of them she described as fortune 500, you know, coos, c suite types, and she would ask them for money. will you support me, will you support my campaign. and some of them said e to her, well, let me ask my husband. right? and so to hear that, i found it really shocking but also really telling. now, the good news is there is some research that says when women run, they are able to raise the same amount as men. so there is that, which is encouraging. but the other side of that is women often have to tussle so much more because they give small donations. >> it's not the donors. it's these organizations that are supposed to be helping these women run. i love emily's list, i'

from the standpoint of the coroner's office, so far the sheriff's coroner's office has received a total of 33 of the 34 victims from the conception. due to the intense fire that occurred on the vessel, all of the recovered remains have suffered varying degrees of fire damage, which requires dna analysis to confirm the identities of the victims. for the past several days, the coroner's office and sheriff's investigators have worked diligently to both positively identify victims, to obtain buccal swabs for comparison purposes and the dna process, and to notify the next of kin. i want to share with you the process so you have a better understanding of the monumental task that our investigators have been facing. when this incident began, our office was presented with a manifest. a list of passengers who were on the vessel. names only, with no other supporting documentation or details immediately available. as we were able to obtain more information through the family assistance center, through the call center, and through other investigative means, we have been able to contact the family an

there is a general counsel's office. it's a document from michael best and frederick our lp and this is the only legal thing we have and that happens to be the trump hotel this whole thing is so out of line in terms of gsa and its oversight and the release of this hotel from day one and that is why were here today and or hear principally because this president failed to divest and conflicts of interest and put itself not just in violation of the lease but also to the clause of the constitution of the united states in domestic and that's why we're here today. right on time he >> thank you. will now recognize ranking member of the committee mister graves. >> thank you madam chair. and ranking member meadows released. you're over and over again with the majority of why are we doing infrastructure are why is the infrastructure bill and here we are. in a politically motivated hearing talking about the old post office. and light of the disasters this year we should focus on disaster efforts and working instead and instead here

we have less than 5% office vacancy. only manhattan has higher office rents than san francisco. the city has agreed to the plans that are critical to housing and transportation. we must work toward lower city wide job housing ratio. i am here today to ask your help in meeting that goal and fix this desscrip see between jobs and housing impacting so many in the city. this legislation has the support of supervisors yee, fewer, ronen, peskin and maras well as workers such as jobs of justice and the most impacted communities. the city has long recognized the important nexus between jobs and housing. there is an undeniable relationship between new employees and affordable housing demand. during the san francisco first phase of high rise office expansion from 1970 to 1990, the city recognized the need to fees to offset the impact to the development. in the mid-90s there was a child care impact fee and job housing fee. these are an important source of funding to mitigates the impact caused by the nonresidential development. it has generated $70 million over five years. the premise is s

we have to have at least one office in each state so we have been opening more offices that are smaller and the most recent one has been el paso, texas which i will visit before i leave. i'm really trying to get out there in the community with your employees which is very difficult because we do not, unlike espy or cia or anybody else who gets to decide how many cases they are going to start in a given year we don't. the taxpayer is experiencing significant hardship they call us in the case comes in. sometimes my office has tried to reject the case but usually people try to e-mail me because my e-mail is all over the place and they let me know my office has rejected them and then they get into the system. congress has told us taxpayers are experiencing significant hardship as a result of what they iras dozer isn't doing or is about to do. i don't know how to say you are experiencing significant hardship they don't get through the door. i don't have to do that so it difficult for employees juggling some of these cases. some of this is brought on by some problems and systemic problems wit

for officers calls like these are just another day at the office. officer montanez, how dangerous is this area, this district? >> i could look at almost each corner and give you a story of something violent that has happened here in the last ten years i've been here. it's a shame. but it's the world that he with live in. >> we're on the night shift, when violent crimes reach their peak. the temperature starts to drop as we continue our patrol. without warning a job pops up in the police computer. >> priority one. person with a gun. the kid on the phone stated someone with a gun and hung up. no further information. >> is that close to where we are? >> there are already several squad cars at the scene as officers rush in. but this call isn't quite as it seems. >> what happened? why did you call? why did you say you saw somebody with a gun? >> i didn't. >> you didn't say that? >> you just said they were arguing. but everything's good now? >> the kid here, he called. just because he said he wanted to. >> hey, buddy, you know you can't call 911 unless yo

form 3610-b, paymen payments byy officers. so i'm going offer a similar scenario like i did with the 126 forms. with this form and the form that follow this, there are two forms that follow this in the same series are distant relatives, so i'm going to start with the general information about the form and give a bit of a scenario and build. this is applicable to members of a booke board or commission with interest. they are solicit payment totaling 1,000 or more from an interested party that is made to a third-party for legislative, governmental or charitable. so a scenario for this form, which would require a commissioner or elected officer to file this form would be a commissioner who serves on the planning commission, asking the developer to make a donation to the red cross and the developer makes a donation in the amount of $1,000 to the red cross at the behest of the commission every and two months later they apply for a building permit and it must be approved by the board that commissioner serves. because the amount was

so does a colonial officer outrank a british officer? as you recall the british officers of lower rank said they outranked any colonial officer and this infuriated a young george washington. so our story begins after the french and indian war. what caused the american revolution? >> the tea party. >> that's part of it. taxes. and give me the phrase. >> no taxation without representation. >> okay. no taxation without representation, or if you like taxation without representation is tyranny. from there, build to a potential chance to seize gun powder at the town of concord or maybe even arrest sons of liberty, leading revolutionary figures who would be samuel adams or john hancock in nearby lexington. and what results is this, the shot heard round the world maybe, concord also says the shot heard around the world happened in concord. one of the first shots of the american revolution is fired when the british regulars meet up with colonial militia men. so from massachusetts on lexington green. and shots are fired. who fires the first shot?

is there a summary of it give tone the 32 officer? >> so, i just talked about that yesterday, about a particular case, and it was not a an adult sexual assault, it was a child sexual assault and the government put in a limited amount of rio and the defense wanted the entire rio submitted. so i think it's case by case. i speculate and i don't like to speculate but assume most of the time it's the full ryo. >> for the air force i know that we try to focus on the actual evidence that's contained within the rio. so we would point to more of the videotapes that were done from the mcio as well as any statements that are contained by witnesses that are not present to testify. but, for us, in our special investigations their thoughts and feelings that start at the beginning of the rio that doesn't go before the investigating officer because i don't believe that's relevant. >> similar spns fresponse for t marine corps. in some instances you might have an rio but in some instances we may look at a complete cell phone extraction that includes ev

and honestly i even forgot to take time later when a 3rd officer showed up. and well we were towed when the call a day's fact it went to the beat tags. and the message on the cops. truck. parked officer cardew news just there something on the board already here all are. just starting out of 46 nothing and his friends told him that it was clear over a real park are and if you could create a trouble with your unit is an officer of them when you told him to get up off the ground and the officer began to pet him down. i heard them for a song that sounded kind of fighting in to me grown man like wrestling especially the officer curly back up and through his baton to your individual twisted away from the officer probably the target of his crew. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then what happened on 3 swung at the officers hands didn't hit them i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here their fight again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun
