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 there when he was district supervisor. he always came out and demonstrated through his actions that he cared for other people. i see how much it affects somebody when you take their kids away from somebody, because it almost happened to me. i commend our brother. there is a lot of violence going on on the streets. we need someone like him to step up. [tone] i will say this and then i will finish. there is something about forgiveness. a lot of people do not know about forgiveness. but when you forgive others, god will forgive you for your staff. i loved san francisco. . san francisco has a love for ross. thank you. [applause] >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. my husband was the sixth homicide last year. to see an official, a city official, somebody who sits on the board, come to where we are and here are stories and comfort us, not for votes, but because he truly cared meant a

ross is the sheriff.what is right. Ñilpand ross has served the cosf justice. he has made a mistake in the private life. he had been severely punished for this already. over 100,000 in legal fees, not being able to see his wife for half the year. it being scorned in the press, fired without pay. he has not committed any rock of official misconduct. his bad conduct occurred on his own time between jobs before he was even sworn into office. you know, i think about this. those who claim otherwise appear to be politically motivated. some of the critics, including one the finance the billboard against him, one to finance political component in the race. in i am aware this is a highly- charged controversy that triggers painfulÑilp emotions, i respect that. y'u>> my name is victoria ashl, and i am on the county council and on the state coordinating committee of the green party of the state of california. ii support the reinstatement of ross mirkarimi. greens in general are passionate about justice and the volunt

i have no rocket -- ross mirkarimi for years and -- i have nallen ross mirkarimi ifor years -- i havenown ross mirkarimi for years and i think he will make a very good cheer. this has been a witch hunt. i hope we will put this much energy into other matters that have been referred to this commission, as the civic league

it i stand here in support of ross mirkarimi, ms. lopez, and theo, the family that has been most affected by this process. i paid attention. i watched as the questions were asked by europe -- by you all. this is a process that never should have happened. and everything after that fact has been created to justify a bad act. initially, there should not have been harshness between people love each other. as people who have families, you probably understand it gets to that point. but this process, especially the removal of an elected official, it should never have begun. i feel for you because it was begun and you have had to go through the process of wading through the mountains of evidence. i understand that you have the lot to look at here. and that is what i suggest you do. the facts from the people who were there, ross and ms. lopez arte all the people whose testimony matters here. what we are seeing now, and what we saw from the beginning of this case is the highly on to justify, i think, the responsible act of putting this forward

ross has always invigorated the electorate. his brilliance and integrity inspire us and make us better citizens. city hall inflicted unprecedented punishment for a misdemeanor. there was no official misconduct. a false imprisonment was merely turning around his band to go home, rather than take the argument to a public place. havret we all done that at least once? your recommendation to reinstate ross will instill morales and morals of san francisco. each supporters here represents thousands more who could not be here today. we are here to convey the magnitude of our support for ross, and the depth of our months of scrutiny, humiliation, and forced separation from his family, all while having no income. ross faced these circumstances with admirable grace come optimism, and fortitude kamal attributes we want in our sheriff. [tone] as sheriff, he will create a model system of promise and possibility that will do this city proud. how fitting that a star is the symbol of the sheriff's office, surrounded by a galaxy of supporters. r
