so the sfpd is engaged in treason, which is war against the people. i see we have a lot of legal scholars. do any of you know what the punishment is for war against the people? it's capital punishment. does anyone know what capital punishment is? that's execution. so all the police and everyone up here by association is subject to capital punishment under the law. if you call yourself law enforcement, you should understand that. i assume you've read the constitution, which is the law of the land. and another thing, as far as chief scott saying he doesn't know what got the porta potties. i was talking to the man who claimed he got them who was former military, allegedly, so when you asked, did the city get the porta potties, and oh, it was military personnel, the city might have had a hand in it. chief scott, you've been kind of duplicitous, kind of dishonest, so i'm here saying the police need to be abolished. i want the war to stop. when someone is engaged in war against you, your option is to kill them before they kill you or get them to surrender.

there is no way to solve this problem with that the current sfpd.comments. next week -- next speaker, please. >> hello. i sent you an e-mail in the middle of the night. i was trying to put a speech together. the topic is the need for the city to decide quickly what kind of taxi medallion system they want going forward. the lawsuit that the federal credit union filed against sfmta is inextricably tied into this decision. the lawsuit alleges breach of contract, bad faith, and malicious malicious -- malicious misrepresentation. the union had counted on the city having a transportation code amendment as a promise, but on november 15th 2016, they went through that amendment to allow corporations to buy up to 50 medallions each to create a money pool that could to pay off the credit union for damages so far and to let people, including the six people who come up to you and plead for mercy to get off the hook for their medallions. there are half a dozen new york city cab drivers who bought medallions who committed suicide. it is an extremely serious proble

this raises questions of where the sfpd stand on san francisco being the sanctuary city. where does the police commission stand on san francisco being a sanctuary city create thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> can we advise her to the d.p.a.? >> yeah. >> adrian, can you pass on to your friend, that the d.p.a. certainly is available for any types of investigation or complaints. >> even if the officer badge was not obtained? >> yes, they all do that. >> i will let them know that. >> i am the investigator here. i was going to start to bring some of the pamphlet -- pamphlets next week so people can have them and carry them with them in addition. i have an investigator here if you don't mind talking to her. she can get your information and we can talk. >> i will pass the info on. >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. >> good evening. >> i'm here for the same reason as some of the others that have spoken before. i think that san francisco is a sanctuary city. the police department has an obligation to enforce at the sanctuary city. not to enforce what i.c.e

i mean, during that time period, you've had sfpd scandals ranging fajita-gate to racist text message scandal and, obviously, the officer-involved shootings including the most recent one with the man who was shot in the back in north beach. you know, i heard dr. marshall address the 2008 perf study and mention that it became less of a priority because they had crises come up. that's been the problem with his tenure the last 14 years. it's a police commission, and dr. marshall specifically, addressing crisis-by-crisis, without looking at the reforms that need to be undertaken. he mentioned that they made progress the last three years, and that's admirable. we're talking about a 14-year tenure and problems pointing out for a long time and if we're just addressing implicit bias when we have so many examples of explicit bias that need addressing, that's also a problem. so, finally, i think 14 years is a good time to serve. it would be good to have a new voice on the commission and a more proactive commission that is not bouncing crisis to crisis, but leading on the reforms necessary for t
