and as a result, it is underreported. now i've addressed this before in prior commission meetings. the reality is, part of the problem with justice in this country is the fact that mechanisms are in place which allow people to manipulate the system, and do illegal actions, and get away with it. these five officers who did not report traffic stop data, why is that. do i not want you to know that all of these officers fall into a pattern of citizens that i stop? so i simply report them as other? and if you're saying that the department of justice, and the state of california, don't have a category for latino or hispanic, what does someone whose great grandparents were all latino, whose parents are latino, and who consider themselves to be latino, think, when they're stopped by the police officer, is reported as white, or other. is it an honest, i'm a police officer and i don't have any choice, or is it i get to cover up what i'm doing, which is illegal, by simply using the system in place, which allows me to do it. and this going back and saying, well, you know, it's been up 'til now

so what was reported in the media is this quote, the san francisco police department has underreported arrest rate of latino arrest es, classifying them as white and asian classifying them as other. both statements are incorrect. for latino arrestees, we correctly categorized both hispanic and latino arrests as either by their correct race, and for asian arrestees, we also correctly report them as for adults, it's asian, and for juveniles, it's chinese, japanese, and filipino. in no cases do we classify asian arrestees as others. so both were incorrect as reported in the media. any questions about this so far? >> i have a question. about the reporting as hispanic, either as black, white, i'm looking at the categories here, how do you know? how do you know -- >> well, what we are asked to do is to self-report it. so we ask people. >> and if they refuse to respond? >> unknown or other. >> it's delineated in the bulletin that i just passed out. >> thank you. >> so the -- i just kind of -- a little context here. you know, sometimes when we're asked what seems like a question it's difficult

white collar crime on wall street has been underreported except for a very few high profile cases as when hundreds of reporters staked out a new york courthouse to report bernie made all submission of guilt in his ponzi scheme millions and millions of dollars they are. many of them are going to believe angry an ira worth one point three million the money was about one point eight million and it's gone on how do you think you got away with this for so long now a person who's run a stand for so many years without that effect that was one of the things i thought of. nobody could successfully run a scam for that. was not alone regulators are now investigating scores of similar crimes they say there is a ponzi monium underway there's four levels in every white collar crime there's the gotta gives the orders the people who take the waters the people that knew what was going on but didn't participate and the people that should have known what was going on like boards of directors or it is but that participate so what they try to do is they try to get to the culpability of the guy at the top

we may recall, the base citizen recently reported the san francisco police department has been underreporting the arrest rates for the city's -- two of the city's largest racial and ethnic minority groups, specifically the latino community and the asian community. as reported by the bay citizen, the san francisco police department has been classifying latino arrestees as white and asian arrestees as other. because of that classification we haven't been able to get a true and accurate depiction of how arrests are actually broken down by race and ethnicity. so what we have asked is simply to hold a hearing so that we can get more information on this particular issue. at the hearing that the police commission held on this matter, police chief suhr explained that the department of justice collects information by race, with only certain categories in mind, white, black, american indian, alaskan native, asian pacific islander and other. because of that certain information cannot be collected by the sfpd. we believe the best way to deal with the issue of any concern that anyone might have about raci

unfortunately san francisco's arrests were also severely underreported in 2010 due due to a technical glitch in the data system which means there is no way to know how police -- impacted residents that year. i know it is lab orous task to backdate the -- but it would be extremely helpful and provide an accurate baseline for measuring public safety measures under realignment. if you could do just a year or two years prior to realignment being implemented it would be useful i think for san francisco. i would also encourage chief and this commission to examine the data sfpd collects once the system has been upgraded and to analyze it in the context of policies and practices of the police department. we recommended it in april in our report and would still support adoption of the plan to report -- of drug arrest practices specifically and again i would be happy to provide more information on those trends at a later date. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good evening. so this was kind of a side note. one, i'm just wondering if there was a category for earthling, just off

white collar crime on wall street has been underreported except for a very few high profile cases as when hundreds of reporters staked out a new york courthouse to report bernie made all submission of guilt in his ponzi scheme and there are millions of millions of dollars they owe it's all the o.j. sort of day for many of them right to believe angry i had an ira worth one point three million of my other money it was about one point eight million pieces and it's gone on that how do you think he got away with this for so long was how a person is run a stand for so many years without that effect that was one of the things i thought of i can't be a scam nobody can successfully run a scam for that long. was not alone regulators and now investigating scores of similar crimes they say there is a ponzi monium under way this four levels and every white collar crime is the gotta gives the what is the people take the what is the people that know what was going on but didn't participate and the people that show. have known what was going on like boards of directors or it is but the participate w

training facilities on american soil what's worse is that this is easily one of the biggest and most underreported problems help us talk more about the school of americas and us foreign policy in latin america and during my r two producer rachel kurz is. coming on how is it that this school is continuing to operate when it's literally birthing consecutive generations of military dictators in these countries sure it will from the perspective of politicians in the united states they really have very little reason not to continue the school of the americas and as we've seen it's flourished under both republican and democratic presidents alike so it's really a bipartisan issue that both parties can get behind in terms of the latin american countries that continue to fill these schools with their students what we're seeing is that it's really a self-perpetuating issue what happens is people who have been trained at the school of the americas then a say into positions of power and go on to send their underlings to go join the school of the americas and the cycle just continues on and on like that. yeah

gups are going to beompad tohe al mpai the "washington post" is up with a piece this week on an underreportedntage that the obama side has over the romney side. romney's financial advantage is because of the massive amounts of cash being spent on his behalf by the republican party and by outside interest groups. rkfom.ore perp mon but president obama has more of his own campaign money than the romney campaign has to spend. and it turns out not all money is created equal. campaign money, money you raise yoself for your campaign, is easily, more easily spent and sometimemore effectively spent thheermo local tv stations, see, are required to give the campaigns, the real campaigns their best deals on advertising time. there's no sh requirement in terms of the way they treat the superpacs. the "washington post" is reporting that in one ohio ad y, s to n ribe t ection, the obama campaign is paying $125 for a tv spot. that spot is costing a conservative superpac $900. $125 versus $900 for the same spot? that's a huge markup for bei a superpac. what that means effectively is mr. romney and his suppor

i think one of the most underreported stories is the fact that china's service economy is expanding consistentlyif you look at the service pmi, it's been over 50. we know that anything over 50 is expanding and anything under 50 is contracting, which is happening in manufacturing. in july it was 55. in august it was over 56. so -- >> do you believe -- sorry. do you believe those numbers? that's been the debate. do you believe the data? >> sure because i've actually had conversations with other folks from the u.s. doing a lot of due diligence, asking a lot of companies on the ground what's happening in the different provinces. actually, that information is supporting this data. >> but the sales numbers from a number of these u.s. and european companies, those sales numbers do not lie. what we're seeing from the likes of nike and many other, for example, high-end, luxury retailers, they're saying sales are decelerating in china. retail sales are decelerating. >> sure. it could be like any other business where there are bumps. no business goes straight up. you're not going to find straight line grow

i think an underreported aspect of what obama's comments could have been interpreted as is a personal while egypt is an ally, you know, it is not -- there are strings attached and we need to make sure to do business with each other, man to man, person to person, leader to leader. so yeah. i think that morsi is charting his own path but he knows that the united states is the most valuable ally that egypt is going to have. >> thank you. >> thank you, gentlemen. >>> next senator mccaskill hits todd akin in a brand new campaign ad. >> on august 19th, todd akin said only some rapes are legitimate. what will he say next? >> we'll get to today's first read with senior political editor mark murray who says the gop has a surprisingly uphill climb to win the senate. >>> new details on a settlement of students pepper sprayed. remember this? during an occupy protest. two years ago, the people of bp made a commitment to the gulf. and every day since, we've worked hard to keep it. bp has paid over twenty-three billion dollars to help people and businesses who were affected, and to cover cleanup cos

the "washington post" is up with a piece this week on an underreported advantage that the obama sidever the romney side. romney's financial advange is because the massive amounts of chei sis belf by the republican party and by outside interest groups. he has more superpac money working for him. but president obama has more of his own campaign money than the romney campaign has to spend. and it turns out not m re e. aionmoyois yourself for your campaign, is easily, more easily spent and sometimes more effectively spent than the superpac money. local tv stations, see, are required to give the campaigns, the real campaigns theirest deals on advertising time. there's no such reqrement in terms ofheayy tre superpacs. the "washington post" is reporting that in one ohio ad buy, set to run right before the election, the obama campaign is paying $125 for a tv spot. that spot isosting a 25er$900 f the same c 00 spot? that's a huge markup for being a superpac. what that means effectively is mr. romney and his supporters may have fewer resources than it appears they haveecse things ll cost more

and we saw in this decision which was underreported, because it was just on the eve of the obamacare health care decision, "knox versus s.e.i.u.," service employee international union. some called that "the scott walker decision," because it placed such an undue burden on public employees that it has made collective bargaining more difficult. dahlia lithwick, has a piece in the issue, builds on what jamie was saying, which is that in some ways the move to arbitration has closed off the possibilities of class action. which has been an avenue for ordinary citizens to challenge corporate power, corporations, their malfeasance. and that is a trend which i believe we need to bring more attention to. it may seem dry, but again, it affects everyday lives. >> you open your article with a quote from the announcer in "the hunger games." "and may the odds be ever in your favor." what are you trying to tell us? >> well, in the citizens united era, we're moving dangerously close into a kind of corporate state mentality, where the corporations operate with impunity in the supreme court. and they'r

there is a severe conflict in europe, which is you notice in the american press, systematically underreported to science we now see a political reaction to the economic crisis of monumental proportions. tweedledum tweedledee, operations between two political parties, very much like republicans and democrats here. what was called the greek socialist party and they would alternate every few years and they would change the. this year, everything increased changed. after the crunched down on the greek people, making them pay for crisis that has nothing to do with those and then paid for bailing out the richest folks in greece, etc., the greek people did what no one thought they would. the majority of people did not vote for either of those two parties, trying to understand what it was like to vote for neither the republicans are the or the democrats. in the last two elections, democracy and socialist party together brought under 40% that can bind the vote. an explosive party is the party called the cerise a party. it is a far left-wing party that is against all oesterle programs and wants to solv

i thought this was a fascinating part that went underreported a bit this week. >> would you consider the current egyptian regime an ally of the united states? >> i don't think that we would consider them an ally. but enemy. >> we certainly know that mubarak was an ally. this new democracy in the aftermath of the uprisings we're hearing. not an ally, not an enemy. was this brilliant or a gaffe. >> this is when i get concerned. we consider you an ally as long as you behave. the second that you perhaps challenge america's power, that's when we start to like reconsider our relationship. if i am a poor person in afghanistan, i'm not too concerned about the faux pas of mitt romney. are my children lives in danger, are you sending more drones. i think i don't want to be presume shus and speculate about how afghanis are feeling or anything. it seems like that would be more of a concern than did mitt romney make a blooper this week. >> you know, i don't consider the president's remark about morsi and egypt to be a gaffe. after all, we provide $1.3 billion annually to the egyptian government.
