we need a new police chief in san francisco. we need to stop the rhetoric and the ignorance of the rights of african-american af people in the city and i will close african-americans come into contact with the police department more than any other racial group in this city. i live in the neighborhood and the hood. i live there in the heart of it and i love it but i will share with you we need the police -- the african-american community needs effective and lawful policing as victims as well as persons who are alleged to have been involved in criminality. i thank you for your time and your attention this evening. >> thank you reverend baker. reverend townsend. >> thank you president mar and president breed and supervisor cohen and let me say that the problem here is first of all if we believe that the owner people that saw the texts were the four officers and the other 10 or 12 then you're probably too naive to be living in america number one because america is a dangerous place. and it's a culture and a psychology that sets up i

i'm representing san francisco black and brown alliance and stand with the naacp and [inaudible] anyone and everyone who wants to see justice in san franciscof. let me straight forward. i received a letter from the department of justice in regards key documentation between 1995 and 2015 with the san francisco police department. the one thing is clear, they are speaking about no racial profiling in san francisco. that is interesting because when we request documentation from the sfpd, a lot of times they send us to the sheriff department and say these documents don't exist: want to know how many murders happened in san francisco from 1984-2015 and say they can't provide t. they provide it from pressure from a attorney. my point is this, san francisco has got to be aware that this is a monster that is out of control. it is wise to bring in department of justice because pin other cities like cleveland and philadelphia where the chief at that time charles ramsy said we can't control this, it is too political so we need outside help. we shouldn't stress our resources and man power and woman

ferguson is in san francisco and the chief got on the defensive. i thank god he's got religion today and going to be cooperating with us but he's the one that said "oh no this is not ferguson. we're a liberal city. we don't have that here." well, i said to him again chief -- let me finish my point. geographically ferguson is not in san francisco, but attitudally and in terms of practices in this police department i still contend ferguson is in san francisco. >> thank you reverend. please wrap up. >> i am wrapping up but i hope you wrap up a good package for us to deal with this problem of racism that's been perpetrated against black folk across the board. it's in the health department. it's in the school district. it's at juvenile hall. it's all around and that means also the black community has its responsibility too. it takes two wings for a bird to fly. two wings for an airplane to stay in the air and we can't solve the problem as long as a fire wall is put up between the community, the police department, the board of supervisors. we got to work

community and san francisco public defender's office. what i see is occurring right now in san francisco and plays off of reverend brown's comments there is a felonyization occurring in the african-american community and the african-american community areas of san francisco and that is what is happening with the criminal justice system in regard to blacks in san francisco, and the problem is really focused on those areas. that's where you see the explicit and implicit bias and that's where we see it as public defenders and what we did with the plan for reform and you have a copy of it and i focus in the discussion and what i think as councilmembers you should focus on is the implicit bias training, is the assignment of people of color to the black communities and blown communities and incentives that you can provide for officers to serve in those communities. >> >> either financially or some other way so officers of color serve in those communities. what commissioner -- director hicks said with regards to body cameras san francisco has t

they would afford the residents of san francisco and the northern peninsula lots of opportunities to have the spectacular routes out to the coast. if you could hike from san mateo to maverick and to moss beach and loop trails and exciting to the residents of the peninsula and exercise opportunities. now i realize the land has been shut down for 80 years and there's probably some institutional pressure within the puc that is resistant to allowing people into the watershed. i think it's a rare opportunity i think that we can push past some of that that it's a rare opportunity that so much can be done by one government rule change and make so many people happy and cost so little. i urge you to work with the puc and parks and others to get the trails opened up. thank you very much. >> thank you. before the next speaker a few more cards.

certainly we have experienced that in san francisco. i think the other thing to look at too i can tell you many of our clients when you look at their case histories were victims. they were victims of sexual assault. they were victims of trauma, victims of violence in their own community, and the fact that they didn't feel protected by police in some cases causes them not to take the appropriate steps that they otherwise should that a person who is not burdened by those perspectives -- perceptions or experiences might so i think it's very important that we look at the system in terms of the impact on everyone whether it's witnesses, whether it's jurors. you know it's interesting we just had a situation in a homicide case where jurors actually raised their hand when the prosecutor said something to the effect that you just have to be color blind and there are no african-americans in the jury panel and the defense attorney had raised that and the prosecutor said something like you just have to be color blind and a white juror said "that's

the city of san francisco so we're talking about less than one percent of the housing stock i don't see a mass conversion that is a fear but if you want to talk about the housing situation there are 3 thousand new unit going up in potrero hill alone so there are many units going up in nay my neighborhood the final points you know we have only done thirty days it is easier for us it appeals to the hoa but just last month a woman came from london to be yoga certified and spend a bunch of money for the 5 weeks she choose san francisco and another man an intern an outstanding young man those folks wouldn't stay in a hotel it is too expensive see the vital that people come to san francisco they otherwise won't be able to it is beyond around beyond a housing stock it is really about the economic vital that those tourists and people from around the country and world deliver to san francisco so, please consider that at all thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm march i'm a tenant right attorney here in san francisco and just to follow the last speakers point the goal

if you look at the san francisco jail population under 6% now of san franciscans are african-american yet 56% of jail inmates are black. whitings make up 22% and 42% of san francisco -- latino americans 15% and asian and the statistics are here and wildly disproportionate. for youth it's no better. african-americans ages 18-25 are the largest demographic in the san francisco county jail and the population of san francisco juvenile hall is about 51% black and 6.6% white. this indicates that's 50 times more likely for an incarcerated black youth to be be at the youth guidance center. according to usa today san francisco is one of the cities listed along with 1580 other police departments that have higher arrest rates of black people, higher than in ferguson. in terms of in a criminal case one of the first things that occurs is the bail setting. these are national studies. we don't have any studies for san francisco but this shows that black defends are assigned greater bail levels than the white counter parts when they're accused of similar offenses and as a result have lower probabilit
