to do that. quick net also participated with us, allowed us to be able to have civil social interaction with the military and have us be able to interchange with them and knowing what type of response we had. intelligence carry on program and deployable joint command and control are two of the systems that were used by the military to collect information and organize it appropriately so that we were able to respond and interact with the civilian agencies. so for the take aways, it provided us an opportunity for real exchange and interaction. the military has a lot of capability and sometimes we don't always know how best to modify that in an appropriate response and being able to get together and practice the situation allowed us to understand each other better. the lessons learned: throughout the exercise a lot of lessons learned were gains and we're taking those lessons and applying them to real processes where we have interchange and response. 18 months of planning allowed us certain benefits as well. we were able to look at the capabilities that each other brought to the table in these type o

it's a pity that lies within a human soul that is the love of life syrians adore this kind of life used to be associated with freedom but then this crisis started. unfortunately a type of people emerged to follow western instructions they used time honored right just sounded words like freedom to mislead the people and destroy the beauty that used to be our home. we moved in to kill the locals early in the morning we walked into houses and shot people even those who were still in bed then we collected the bodies in one room and started filming them with the cell phone blaming the massacre on the army then we heard that the military were closing in on us part of our group fled at once while others opened fire on the troops. i don't know what they want. and i bet you won't find a single educated man among them was that they want freedom they've blasted the whole city to bits ask any of them what kind of freedom the says the freedom to massacre people is that what they're in it for. every day somebody dies every day we get bombed and shelled lots of people are wounded but even more people have b

i want you to be sure that we are making it happen -- possible across the city. and what supervisor farrell is doing, it's enabling us to open more sites. we will be strategic about the schools we want to open. this started off as opening sites that were furthest away from open space. and now we really want the school sites to buy into this. the first round of funding and everything was about reaching out to school sites and having them want to do this. with this presentation and all the out-reach that supervisor farrell is doing and the chatter that will happen. more and more principals will want to do this. and we may want to think how to raise more money and how to incorporate this into the city's budget, it's a benefit to the city. >> i had one more question. that i just got. if a resident went to a schoolyard and found it closed, they call 3-1-1. okay, i wanted members of the public to know that. supervisor farrell. >> thank you, and thank you to everyone who came today and those who spoke and didn't. i want to say this is to benefit the community. and this is also a community effort. and it doesn't happen witho

you know, i used to be, i used to be kind of mean. i used to be -- i cared not at all what i wrote about people that it may hurt them. i try not to do that. you still have to be tough and honest, but it has particularly changed all my affairs in life. one of the great things about being in washington for me is having grown up here and being a part of a church, and you know so many people who could care less about politics. they are not involved in it. they don't read the magazine i write for "the weekly standard" >> you used to be mean? >> i was very mean. >> explain that. well, i drank a lot. i even smoked a little. i just had a very pessimistic view of the world, and pretty pessimistic view of other people. >> so what was the year that you became, i assumed you said, born again? what year was that? >> 1980. my wife and i both. you know, we decided. my parents prayed for us a lot and talked about their renewed faith, and people they met, they would introduce us to them. at first it had no impact at all. after awhile, it did. once my w

that in 10 years but yet the city manager comes to a meeting tells us we're going to put the parking lots up there for you black folks but you got to be patient. they haven't provided one parking space now you all got third street used to be a 6 lane road now it's a one lane road because they put the bicycle lane and the street cars and now we got one lane for cars and is that just for us in bay view? just tell us the name of the game so we can learn how to play it. it's extremely unfair and it seems racial to us that you guys would tell the police to come out here in our community and give every black person a ticket that was parked in his own drive way they told us and they told me at my home that we can't park in the drive way no more by your orders so what are we supposed to do? give us the rules where we can park our cars where you guys are taking the spaces up and there ain't no place to park what are we supposed to do. >> next speaker please. >> good afternoon i was born and raised in san francisco i've been a car driver about five years about last year i left yellow cab went to work for -- i was a little diss enchanted since t

it's important for us to be able to know that in terms of how we're addressing our graffiti enforcement and programming efforts. so this is a map, just mapping out the results. so we're seeing a trending down in terms of the location and so next year will be very important for us it note to see where we go. are we continuing to trend down in locations? again, that would help us in terms of doing wipe outs and some of our maybe community murals in some of those high pockets areas or is the graffiti going to continue to stagnate in that area. in our graffiti index, just as i mentioned before so we are examining the observations providing a numerical observation of the number of hectares in each area. in our hot spot we are fieplding there is more graffiti in the hot spots compared to the random areas. so that tells us we can rely on the calls coming in -- i don't think i have any other maps so i can turn that up so we're not sitting in the dark. basically what we're finding then is it is making a difference looking at the hot spots compared to the random sampling. so within a given year w
