herley, you have been a police chief and dealt with police conduct as a consultant. do you have anything to add to what chief suhr has said about preventing misconduct in a police department? >> thank you for having me. i do have to point something out. i was not the president of the california police officers association. it was the california police chiefs association. i spent 21 years in the city of torrance in southern california before coming up here, a city of to under 50,000, about 350 personnel. -- 250,000, about 350 personnel. much smaller organization. completely different type of agency. but one of the things we found was to my career and particularly at the beginning, there was really no classis% -- classes pe se, and we started a course on how to be a successful chief. a very strong component of that was an ethics, and what is the chief's responsibility within their department relating to at the experience included in that, it had to do with the abuse of power and misconduct. i was -- i guess you could say "a whistle-blower." i put together a case in whi

police lied about him. getting to know that we have a chief now who cares about people and cares about how the community sees the police, there is hope. i hope there is some hope. it is an ingrained problem. the problem is how you teach policeman at the ends do not justify the means? you do your job and you let the courts work it out. you are not the arbiter. you cannot protect bad cops. they will ruin you. if there are 100 cops and three of them are bad, we look at these videos and say, you are all bad. how do we get that the community's faith? it cannot be done by one person. i think we start teaching young policeman -- if you like, if you teach -- if you cheat, you are going to get fired. you are going to get prosecuted. that is the message to come out of these cases. if they commit perjury, they have to go. we have to teach young officers and older officers, you cannot do this. you should never have started. breaking the rules because you think you have to do it to get a bad guy, breaking the rules beca

there were police from the mission station. there were police from the bay view. i saw the gentleman on his knees. he hedged it -- he had been shot in the arm and the neck. there was blood coming out of his mouth. but the police said the whole scene tape off. they had a control. they were getting statements from everyone. i was very happy to know that i live where i have that type of police protection. i was a little suspect because chief suhr was -- captain suhr was promoted to chief suhr a month earlier and was wondering if he was trying to tell me something. seriously, it is great, the relationship with the permission station, as well as with the current captain. i do not know what happened, but the man that was shot did live. so the emergency response team worked very well. i want the police commission to know that i feel very safe in my home because i always see the police in the area. i see them on the bicycles on third street. there's a lot of police presence. there is a good working relationship the police have in the bayview as a result of chief suhr's tu

so police took every precaution.go, though, that the man walked out of the denny's. police arrested him without problems. he did not have hostages at any time. police took every precaution. when we got closer to the restaurant, police ordered to us leave. they said we were in the line of fire. so at one point again they did believe that he may have had a gun. again, wrapped up so police still have blocked off winfield here at blossom hill road down to almaden expressway. but because of the progress that's been made, it should be clear shortly and should not cause any traffic problems. guys, back to you. >> stephanie, do we know anything about this guy? does he have a history of any kind with the police? >> reporter: you know, grace, this is all developing right now. we just heard minutes ago from police that the man actually just walked out. so it is going to take some time to get those details. we'll have them on cbs 5 later. >> thank you. at least no one was hurt. >>> that standoff of course causing some traffic de

we had lying on police reports. surveillance camera videos showing officers removing items from hotel rooms other than evidence that they were going to put into their report. we had drug theft by officers. we had the so-called dirty d.u.i.'s, the drunk driving setups. we've had officers selling stolen drugs. and the one that just beats all is the one of setting up a brothel. now, if i saw a movie that included all of these things in a movie, i would think, well, this is not realistic. it just doesn't happen this way. but apparently it does. so today we're going to talk about the ethics of law enforcement, prevent ago boose of power -- preventing abuse of power. i wanted to read to you a letter to the editor that i happened to run across in the chronicle the other day when i was thinking about this panel. i just want to read it to you. it's entitled "betrayal of trust in the san francisco police department." my thoughts were just those of unbelief after reading your story "new video slap for san francisco cops." it i

of police being here. it does not end the questions. it is a conversation that has to get down to important issues. it has to start and meetings like this are a start to recognize. i think it is a real positive step. [applause] >> and although i would argue many of the things that were said today on the panel -- and i cannot believe i am going to say this -- i completely agree with john burris and stuart hanlon. [applause] >> thank you for giving my closing comments from me. i would like to thank the public defender's office for providing the public and anybody he wants to come to this forum, hearing from these experts, and they help you take away some good things from this -- and i hope you take away some good things you take away some good things from this panel. >> so many people here. this is the third and final panel for those of you who have stayed. this is going to be an incredible discussion. leading the panel, this is the chief attorney of the public defender's office, matt gonzalez. >> let me tal

having been a member of experf e police commission, i know how the police department works, and i know the role they play in the life of a community. i want to think officers, because they have a very tough job, and they put their lives on the line literally every day. that said, we always have to make sure there is accountability to the committee, and that can only happen if we have these kinds of forms where we can hear directly from members of the community. what that -- what i can tell you is that as a supervisor, the moment an incident happens, i am in close communication with the police department and not only with the cheap, but the district captain. i want to recognize the capt. because he has been very responsive to make sure this district has the resources needed, to make sure they have what it takes to do their jobs, and he has been a strong advocate for making sure that those resources are provided. i want to thank chief sir for making that happen as well.

to defend the police conduct.he head of inspector bologna's union blames the investigation on us. he says the only reason inspector bologna is being investigated is "the notoriety the wall street protests have attracted in the media." and he's absolutely right. the police get away with this kind of abuse in this country every day without being investigated because there is usually no videocamera around to capture such routine abuse. enough video was recorded of this incident to show that most police officers on the scene were not violent and did not overreact. some of the video shows officers conducting themselves in the most honorable tradition of those who take the oath to serve and protect. and enough video of deputy inspector anthony bologna was recorded that the department by day four of this controversy could no longer completely protect him. of course, as his internal affairs investigation proceeds, the culture of the department will do everything it possibly can to protect inspector bologna and it remains
