of officers in the city. and then, when we add the supplemental officers that captain canning and deputy chief lozar had mentioned, it's way above any other district in the city, so definitely, your point's well taken. it's trying to achieve a balance. the thing is, we can't leave those other stations empty, and they're all impacted when we move other somps around, like we frequently have to do, but the tenderloin has the highest deployment no matter how you look at the deployment in the city. when you look at a one square mile area, which is about what tenderloin covers, there's a lot of options there, but it's still not enough. as captain canning pointed out in his plan, we need to engage, but the coverage to prevent some of what is most complained about, the drug dealing and the violent crime from happening, the reality is, you know, when we're out there, the drug dealers aren't. and not to say we can prevent everything, but we definitely see a difference when we're out there and able to did you tain that.

and obviously with the officers leaving, the officers that remained were a asked to do more and more. we've also looked at overtime pay, at trauma support, riot control equipment for all officers, and specialized training for those officers that need to be part of specialized units. i think we're going to work together to see that the officers are better trained, better equipped and better prepared. we owe that to the frontline officers and their families. they do everything they can every day to protect the members of congress that congressional officers, employees and visitors to the capitol on a daily basis, and we are grateful for that. and glad you are here today. >> well thank you very much senator blunt. and when i think of that day i think of the two of us, as you noted. at 3:30 in the morning walking across those hallways. those corridors with broken glass on every side, with those two young women with the mahogany box with the last of the electoral ballots. and i think that is forever sered in our memories and so much of this is not just getting to the root causes, which is

here you have officer potter, training, a rookie black police officer, by the way, and the police officer took mr. wright in to custody. he should have moved him to the back of the vehicle. he didn't. officer potter made the move she made. she says that she thought she was drawing her taser when in fact she drew the gun. let me tell you this quickly. as a police officer, i've had a robber to try to shoot and kill me. i had to make a split second decision in drawing my gun and unloading the gun. i didn't give a damn how many shots i fired. i wanted to protect myself under those circumstances. here i thank officer potter wanted to protect her partner in this case is. it is unfortunate that a man died. i got to just say one more thing. i'm deeply disturbed by a defense attorney that puts a young man on trial and says that he, duante wright, was responsible for his death. i think that that is also something that the jury could very well have taken in to consideration here. that's a no-no as far as i'm concerned as a lawyer, to put someone on -- and say that this young man that died was respon

s office. the other they think i thought the place -- the other thing i thought the police could do is reactivate their retired officers, activate park rangers and parking control. parking is maybe less of a priority and maybe having uniformed officers, you know, on the streets, having a presence, doing the patrols and at least being able to help merchants or tourists, just private citizens, report incidents and actually have people get back to them and let them know what is going on. when i was victimized, i had to do a lot of work on my own just to get feedback from the justice department as to a burglary to one of my job sites where all my tools were stolen to the tune of $6,000, $7,000. and, you know, it's more that i have to communicate and initiate all the communications with the justice department versus the other way around, where they can help victims out. so that's -- that's kind of my experience so far on the ground. but, yeah, i do think that maybe we need to maximize our resources

so many officers say good officers should want body cameras as well, because if the officer is accused of wrongdoing, that body camera can save them. also the witness testimony. there were 33 witnesses that this jury heard from, including fellow officers of kimberly potter, some of whom were there on that day providing their vantage point about exactly what happened. one thing that was very interesting that you don't often see in these trials is that there were two officers who were called by the prosecution who actually ended up making a case for the defense. they said that in their view, in the circumstance, because daunte wright was resisting and could have driven away and harmed some of those officers, they believe they testified that kim potter was not only justified in using her taser but also in using her service weapon. again, prosecution witnesses. that's what made so many of us wonder how that would resonate from this jury. hearing from officers on the scene, obviously the jury coming to a very different conclusion that it's not just a mistake, but also a criminal mistake, an

officer potter was concerned about officer lucky. she didn't check on him after the shooting.ficer. she explained why. i just shot someone. sobbing. where does that get you? the prosecution failed. if you want toed to make that point, make it with another witness. do with officer lucky and let it go. don't ask one question too many. we said it earlier on. these cross-examination questions quick and clinical. in and out. will longer you have the adverse witness on the stand the worse off it is for you. for the prosecution they didn't do that. >> sandra: she said eldridge's demeanor may alienate some jurors. this is manslaughter. not first degree murder case. eldridge is making potter look more vulnerable and human. >> great tweet. that's right. this is something where the prosecution just failed at what she was trying to do. could have done it with the other witnesses. the other testimony. could have done it not with the witness that was so sympathetic. it made her more likeable and vulnerable and anguished. every time officer potter talks about or says anything about that mome

i am not saying that every police officer is a good police officer, but i would like to believe thatdeo pretty much tells the story, you guys. when she clearly thought she was using, intended to use, the taser and not the real gun. and the moment her brain realized that she had made that mistake, she screamed. "i made a mistake, oh, my god, i shot him." that is real and she is a human being. look, the family of daunte wright will probably have a very hefty civil suit against the police department, and i would support that. but in terms of throwing kim potter in jail, i don't think that was the right move on behalf of the prosecution in this case. but they were kowtowing. we saw it happen. the court of public opinion sometimes speaks much louder than what we would like to believe. >> mike: a couple days ago the jury asked what happens if they can't reach a verdict. now the language is "trial outcome, not a coincidence in your view? >> not at all. that was a little bit of key reading. look, this is a little difficult. we cut the first-degree manslaughter, second-degree manslaughter, an

were speaking in a matter of becoming an officer. 22 percent were for an officer alleging to fail to take a required action or filling out a police report. 13 percent were allegations of an officer issuing a citation without cause. nine percent work for an officer failing to properly investigate. nine percent were for complainant which raised matters that were outside of dphrestriction and i'm going to come back to that in a minute . the final four percent were for an allegation for officers using unnecessary or prospective force. and it's cases that were involved, the type of cases that the allegations arose from work for cases involving a neighbor dispute, cases involvingdirect violence and cases involving burglary . and the occasions for quality of life. for district exams we had for by districts you can track and see there were four cases that came from control. and tenderloin. each, for cases from central and four in tenderloin.two cases from southern. two cases which were also from out of town. often times we have folks that come in and also because with the launch of thenew we

that officer firing down that aisle at the officer's feet was one of those victims.ed a lot of the graphic. she was bleeding. she was obviously in distress after that assault. but of course, one thing that we know makes this so heartbreaking is, beyond that suspect was that dressing room where this 14-year-old was inside. police say that one of the rounds from that police officer penetrated the wall, striking and killing her. this obviously, a community in mourning now. a makeshift memorial has been set up at the department store. we also know, finally, that the state attorney general's office is now also investigating this incident to determine whether there will be any charges brought. this is per policy. but again, we are getting that new video that just very dynamic situation you see, officers trying to take down the suspect. and obviously, that fatal and fateful moment that that officer also fired a round killing this 14-year-old girl. poppy? >> josh campbell, we appreciate the reporting very much. out front now, sergeant cheryl dorsey, she is a retired lapd ser

but they are down significantly of officers.le to bring at least folks on that can augment that. because even if you hire somebody today, you're talking over a year before you get them on post, by the time they get with federal law enforcement training center, and even old sheltonham, by the time you get all of that training down, and get them to on the job training, with another officer learning about the post and everything, you're talking almost a year before they're operational. what they're thinking and proposing now is to be able to get immediate help, to augment those officers. and identify posts that may not require strictly -- to provide some training, but not the same extent of training that you're giving someone who's coming on the job for law enforcement. >> so my last question for this round would be, one of the things we did in the supplemental funding was waive the maximum limits that officers could be paid during a year. are we going to face that again this year with that big a shortage of -- from the full force,

his kansas office or the office of the majority or minority leader. there are so many people in washington, d.c. today and in fact i looked to see how many united states senators served with bob dole during his tenure here that still serve today. i heard senator leahy on the floor earlier this afternoon, senator grassley, senator mcconnell, i heard him as well. senator shelby. senator feinstein. senator murray. senator inhofe. and senator wyden. they all had the opportunity to serve with the kansas senator, with the senator from kansas bob dole. and i can't imagine that that doesn't influence the way they do their work and the way they look at the united states se senate. but those who served in his office as members of his staff and many of them have gone on through nominations and quon fir nations to -- confirmations to become hugely important people in agencies, departments, and bureaus across this government. his mentorship lives on, another legacy of bob dole is all the kids that were interns, all the young men and women who worked here, for him.

but his office has consistently pointed the finger back at police, saying officers only make arrests in fewer than 2% of all the car break-ins reported throughout the city. regardless of who is to blame, san francisco streets still glisten with broken glass, with an average of 74 smash and grabs in the city each day. but even if police happen to be close by when a car is broken into, there is no guarantee they'll be able to keep up with the criminals. we just got to this car break-in here. officers managed to follow the getaway car for about 15 minutes. but after running through a couple of red lights, cops eventually lost them. in san francisco, police are not allowed to speed after cars. in cases involving nonviolent crimes like car break-ins. that's to avoid hitting innocent bystanders. but whatever the roadblock, there are still new victims every day. >> this side and the other side. >> reporter: laura hudson and her family were visiting from florida when their rental van was broken into. all her kids' luggage, pajamas, even stuffed animals, taken. >> i'm really disappointed. thi

again, seeing it with my own eyes, walking it with officers. and i've seen it all over the city, but in union square, after the world was set on edge with what they saw, the people that have to go there and work every day, the people that have to take transportation to go there, the people that want to go there and shop, that have to look over their shoulder, worried that 50 people are going to run in the shop with knives or guns or hammers or whatever they have to run in the shop, it matters to them, so we need to sustain this effort. so you have our commitment. i want to thank our elected officials for supporting this effort. chief nicholson, fire chief, sheriff miyamoto, and many others, dr. colfax, and others. we can do it when we do it together, and we have the support and the resources to get us there. so thank you, and with that, i'd like to introduce mary ellen carroll, the director of our department of emergency management.

meanwhile, city leaders in oakland say it's time to hire more police officers.s on pace to have its highest homicide rate in years. so you will remember, the city put a freeze on hiring new officers about a year ago. but this week, the mayor and police chief agreed the freeze needs to be lifted. earlier today, a city council member announced the plan to immediately hire 60 new officers. if approved, the city will use cash incentives to recruit more officers. >>> policing priorities. that is the big issue looming over san francisco, as well tonight. the chief there getting it from all sides of the meeting in the tenderloin over rising crime and mounting drug overdoses as he also tries to keep stores and shoppers safe from those mobs of thieves. so what should take priority? nbc bay area's jean elle joins us with the plans. >> reporter: she is focusing on retail theft, shopper safety, and covid concerns and tonight, we also ask her about the overdose crisis. a festive, safe atmosphere outside city hall tonight. just blocks away from the tenderloin, a neighborhood

i have trained officers. the message here is, don't let your default be aggression and force in the first place. my legal analysis changed after i heard kim potter testify. as she testified, my impress was that she did want to hurt daunte. it appears to me she got involved in the stop the way she does, because she wanted to be the person to getening independence control. people resist arrest all of the time. if you're ever in a position to review reports, police resist all the time. they pull away. when you have a young person who panics, they try to run. part of what we always consider when we talk about assaultive crime, given the circumstances at the time that the derek chauvin trial was going on, it was reasonable that daunte was afraid of being put in cuffs. especially when they refuse to answer questions why he's being arrested, so showing some compassion here, not letting force be your default, possibly daunte could still be alive. he was pulled over because he had an air freshener from his rear-view m
