and the addendum of the california state d.o.j. with the changes, i'll ask the deputy attorney to read into -- [laughter]. >> that look. >> i'm sorry. >> we have the changes. the changes and the recommendations to reference to points of contact and do you have a first? >> yes. >> second? >> second. >> any comment with this lawyer talk that you have all just heard? mr. jones. >> my name is john jones, and my commissions, please, commission. this entire m.o.u. is based on the d.o.j. report issued in october 2016. the public has never really had an opportunity to comment on this report, and in two minutes or a minute and 45 i can't run it down. i want to tell you that i think that the report, the d.o.j. report, was a disgrace. for a lot of reasons. it came down to a time when the san francisco police department had little alternative to acquiesce in the report than to get some kind of court supervision. the police department at that time was some kind of political football with the political lead in san francisco, including this commis

so right now, when we sit down and we look at some of the d.o.j. recommendations, and a lot of which were being pushed forward, let alone, i think we've seen 15 to 20 of the recommendations that folks are going over and had hit. if we don't dig down to the core systemically and help regain public trust with law enforcement, we're doing a disservice, so it's going back, looking at the history, looking at the current d.o.j.'s that we have, and how do we push forward while creating the change systemically. >> supervisor yee: let me ask, there's been a history of racism within the department in terms of, again, i don't want to color the whole department, but it's come up again and again, whether it's true the text messages or the way they behave. how would you as a commissioner help address that issue? >> well, i definitely think as i stated earlier, we're looking at the bias and we're looking at d.o.j. recommendation three, one of the things that i want to continue to help with is the work that commander lozar is doing. i think that's one of the things

. >> the d.o.j. is pushing back on background against the argument we are hearing from ford's lawyers the fbi needs to get involved in terms of reopening the questions involving the alleged attack decades ago. they are saying it is not the fbi's responsibility over the process of doing the background checks with nominees to determine whether or not the facts that, as ford described them are correct. >> can i ask you a question on this, barbara? we are hearing from an aide to senator chuck grassley who says nobody, including the democrats is asking for a criminal investigation. they want the fbi to interview them about the alleged incident. that is what the senate judiciary is trying to do now? is there a difference with conducting the interview and having the fbi conduct an interview? >> yeah, i think where the miscommunication is going on is not within the fbi's jurisdiction to investigate cases of sexual assault for prosecutor. that is a state court matter. they can investigate matters relating to a

so you know, the d.o.j. recommend thad we look into tasers, and there are -- recommended that we look into tasers. there are many officers that look into tasers because tasers are deadly weaponed to make sure that we don't have the fatal, unjustified incidebss o people being really hurt. i trust the analysis is thoughtful. i know that there are people who change their minds over time and that's part of a healthy discussion, healthy debate, healthy consideration, and so, you know, it's not really fair for me to prejudge or second get any issue without the benefit of that information. i trust their analysis, i rely on it and wouldn't make a second investigation. if i were to be asked to do a similar analysis, i would really get as informed as the commission was when they voted. >> supervisor yee: that's it for now. >> supervisor safai: okay. great. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you so much, supervisor safai. i think what you said, you know, as a prosecutor, you see police officers at their b

and the d.o.j. are redacting what -- redacting. turn the documents over to the president sand -- and say it's up to you to declass. they are trying to stall or put pressure on the president. i have talked to sources that have brewed the documents that have top secret clearance to view them. i'm told there is nothing in the request, nothing whatsoever that would violate national security or give away sources and methods. that is what claiming, the d.o.j. as well as the f.b.i. and others are claiming the president will do. >> lou: as they have by the way throughout. >> absolutely. >> lou: they have stonewalled congress. they have stonewalled the senate. to this point, it turns out that and we don't know to what degree, they have been stonewalling the president of the united states. if indeed this letter from those four democratic leaders is accurate and proves true, they have committed as jim calstrom said, treason. >> i don't know how legally they term that, but this is a group inside the united states, inside the government, a bure

when i sit down and look at the d.o.j. recommendations, and we're looking and talking about the biases, a young development this summer we employed 100 young people working directly with the sheriff's department and sfpd to over come some of these implicit biases that we know we have within the department. by having them spend time with those young people out in the gardens and the fields, we began to bridge the gap in relationships that we need to do so in order to strengthen our communities. also, at young community developers, we recently shot a documentary called the chop shop, where we sat down with law enforcement on both sides and brought in key stakeholder community members to sit down and have some of these conversations and dialogue that we're having at the san francisco police commission meetings, even currently. so with that being said, the things that we've been able to do within our communities, and the things that we still need to push forward, i would love to be at the forefront of that. i think it was our 4

and the d.o.j. agreeing to block white house access. on june 27, 2018, we wrote to memorialize verbal assurance; you, that is, coats and howard rosencrans and christopher wray, the director of the f.b.i., the assurance you provided us that the d.o.j. and f.b.i. would not provide the white house or any of the president's attorneys with access to sensitive information briefed to a small group of designated members. congressman, i have to ask you. that looks to me like a confession on paper, overwhelming evidence of a conspiracy to subvert the president of the united states. >> i don't know who the hell these people think they are telling executive agencies of the federal government not to be responsive to the commander-in-chief, to the person who leads the executive branch, to the president of the united states. donald trump has obligations under the constitution that can only be met if he has full command and control of the federal government. it's outrageous you would have that happen. it's even more troubling now that you could have peo

i met with the d.o.j. concerning the declassification of various unredacted documents they agreed to release them but stated that doing so may have a perceived negative impact on the russian probe also key allies called to ask not to release therefore the inspector general has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis i believe he will move quickly on this and hopefully on other things which he is looking at in the end i can always declassify it if it proves necessary. speed is very important to me and everyone. let's just go through some of what occurred on monday the president announced he'd ordered the details of acacia several pages of a surveillance warrant all former trump campaign aide carter page additional documents concerned ex f.b.i. director james comey as well as other former top f.b.i. officials. more knowing why the president put the potentially explosive documents release on hold this delay comes in apparently he's waiting for the department of justice to review the document

we talk of the d.o.j. recommendation, i know that those are going to, we have to approve those and there was one minor change. one fear i have is that this is being put through in and wore getting two more commissioners that will be voted on and it's another step towards bringing in the electronic recontrolled weapons. my concern. >> cynthia: they've been voted to be approved, however, we have not addressed the training and the use aspects. i know there's more dethales that can be deployed and those are my concerns. it's very difficult to train -- to vet and train cops we currently have given our system of law enforcement. not necessarily they're bad people but our system, i feel, is defined for failure, particularly in this situation where we have low unemployment and it's difficult for the department to get all of the competent officers they wish to. i was curious on the discussion of woods. i note it was officer trudeau, like the canada prime minister, i don't recall his exact -- noted that the officer
