the reason why we are being so underrepresented in the police department and other levels of city. that makes us weak as a whole and being seen as weak in the community. that's why we are targeted. we need all levels of city to think about it and that will help with our safety and also the community to be more balanced community. we need equitable share of our representation in the police and chinese immigrant don't feel comfortable speaking with other people unless they feel that the person understands their background. that will help fight the crime and also help to reduce crimes. police consider that. thank you. >> vice president mazzucco: next speaker. >> i'm visually impaired. i filed my notice of intent to run for mayor of san francisco. it was nice meeting you chief scott at general hospital. i'm highly upset. i no longer have ihss workers at all. does everyone know where ellis hotel is? 465 elder street. it's upsetting. you know how many thousands of emails i get everyday? all my information is in the elections department. thank you bay area reporter. i was assaulted twice.
