14,000 citations had been given affecting homelessness as defined by the budget legislative analysts office. By 2017, we were happy with the department and working with them and getting those numbers down. The last time we got those numbers it was at 9,000, still a huge number, and a huge cost, most of them unpaid. Since 2017 we have not seen that data. I have been on the phone with the Treasures Office who said the police are not collecting on the data. We should be tracking this. We should be able to see if we are giving more or less citations. These numbers are low. We have heard the citation of 647e mentioned. That is important. That is used to threaten people taking the tents away and taking it as evidence. When i was doing evidence in 2014 and 2015 this was not regularly used at all. This is something we are hearing on the streets and now in data and the prosecutor is not progresses cuting the cases because the threat carries a lot. We have heard, though, that they are using 647e. We have heard as david lazar mentioned in the march hearing they would take tents from people not cooperating with their orders to move. We know there are more officers now dedicated towards homelessness. More dpw workers doing the cleanings which result in the tents being thrown away. What documentation do we have when the tents are taken away. Many people are in the hospital getting food. You try to protect the tent of another person. If that is not your tent, we are going to take it. We have documentation of tents thrown away and the contents in them. Are they throwing away peoples property or garbage in so those are some of the things that i want to put into the picture. One last one was that in the controllers report the main statistic they are measuring the reduction in tents. There was i a 40 reduction. The number of new beds added were Something Like 691. However, we have closed two or three Navigation Centers. I would be interested how many net beds closer to 150. If we reduced 40 of tents of the 5,000 people and only created 250 more beds, we can understand what is going on here. We are taking peoples shelter away. As we have mentioned today people are dying on the street. We need solutions. We need to mott make it worse. Taking the dents away will kill will kill the person who is struck on the street and cant get to the shelter. I encourage the commission to ask the questions, continue asks for more data to get a clear picture how this is working and the impacts of people on the street. I want be to ask you this same question i asked the last group. The most problems and what do you see as the solution the city can implement . I think you can take that on a lot of levels. My favorite answer is Supportive Housing. I would go higher to affordable housing. You heard could ma lazar descrig another tickle. Shelter beds people want. When i was on outreach with officers, they loved when they could get a person into the place they wanted to be. The truth is they couldnt offer that, very rarely because of the services available. In the shorter term. Safe spaces where people can be and not worry about being shuffled around. When you are moving people around as much as we do and the controllers report shows reduce respond times, more Police Officers and dpw workers. That has consequences. Lost medicine, more instability, increases what i saw often times peoples need to go steal stuff from other people to survive on the street and to protect their own property. When you push people around and the whole idea is to avoid complaints. If the police push you around you need a new spot. You dont want to be in somebody elses territory creating tension. Why in the bayview . Asock is more successful downtown and in the tents. It is my speculation. Commissioner. I am intrigued we like best practices. We put this together with the Police Department in the lead. That is great. What is the best practice . Is it having the police leading the process on homelessness . No. I can send you the federal guidelines on encampment resolutions there. Are key things such as enough time for people to plan to involving the Community Organizations and Service Providers. It sounds like they have done very well in collaborating. We havent seen the Community Process that would work more with the Service Providers on that end. There is a number of cities that have taken broader steps. Eugene 20 of all 911 calls with homelessness are Public Health workers. They say we are halting. In santa rosa the court defined what adequate shelter met. 30days taking into account the gender, ethnic and religious backgrounds, reasons people wouldnt be in shelters, pets and partners. We will see how this provides shelter and being able to not threaten somebody that they are going to take their tent or move if they dont have a place where they can feel safe. A couple other questions. That was interesting. If we doubled resources how much are we spending on this issue . I am asking lazar. When he first heard the report as 24 now 24 plus 34 officers. How much are we spending . Talking about salary costs of officers . What is the bill . The overhead mostly is cost of salary. I would have to do the math. Isnt 80 of the budget salary . 87 . To your earlier point there are Homeless Outreach officers providing high visible patrol in areas and doing other things. I want to make that point as well. They help backup officers on patrol. I dont have those exact salary numbers. It is not just salary, you have department trucks and cars and other resources being used. If you take the trucks and not bagging and tagging. If you are going to the dump it is resources and time. If you can get the picture how much we are spending on this. The question is should the police be the lead . Should the police be doing all of the work when we have a collaborative, how much effort do we need to have the police front and center, so to speak. I will do that research, yes. Then it is lazar, one more question. I noticed in the presentation and he told us in 2014 there were 14,000, 2017, 9,000 citations. We dont have data for the last two years. We would have to get the data. We have numbers. The great news those are before the collaboration and before the officers being out front getting people connected. You quoted working with an officer who hasnt done this work in three years. We definitely changed the strategy. We will Work Together on the numbers definitely. The department should consider we should consider the commission whether if the police are going to continue in this capacity if it is worth putting the Work Together for what role and what resources should be spent on this . That is something we should consider as a mission. Thank you. Before you go i would want to ask do you two folks meet and talk frequently . We could have coffee next week, if you would like. Hang on. Wouldnt asoc and the coalition on homelessness have so many interests in common you ought to be meeting regularly . Is there a reason not to do that . That was put to the policy group many times. Recently in the last meeting, it will happen. I know that has been put to the Department Heads. As i mentioned earlier the last meeting was the topic discussion. We agreed that needs to happen . Can we do that pretty soon . We plan to do that. The policy group is the hsoc Department Heads involved. We have an Operational Update every two weeks and Department Head meeting to address whatever direction that we need to give to the operational team. It seems obvious to me. Thank you. Vice president taylor. Commissioner taylor you talk about the ad what shelter. Seven days is not adequate and 30days would be adequate to move someone. I struggle with this. I can tell you, i have a neighbor in the wheelchair who complains there is an encampment on our street and they threaten her for money. A friend from australia was assaulted. It is the only way officers can move is a 30day shelter available. To me, we all have anecdotes. They are dangerous. I can think of two opposit oppoe examples. I have seen the pd move people is my experience. If there is a 30day bed available. That suggests that could be a Public Safety issue. If there is an encampment and the entryway to my building and people are using, we have a different kind of problem in the city. When i ask for solutions, i dont want to hear it, i really want to hear it. That to me seens unworkable. We can talk offline. It is more complicated because if you are able to give the people the longer beds which they need and this is the worry in sacramento right now, all of a sudden what is happening to the shelter supply. As we heard from hsh tonight, there are 10 beds left. At the end of the month or beginning of the month. By next week there will be 100 people in chairs who waited for 4 to 10 hours for a bed and didnt get one. If we start reserving and offering great beds to folk like navigation to the streets this is going to displace other people who are waiting. This was an issue with the Navigation Centers when they first opened. To complicate the picture of the person living outside o of your door and is a Public Safety threat because they are using. When we are moving someone we are increasing their threat of their health and safety by moving them around the city. Tell me why moving someone who has an addiction why moving to a seven be day shelter increased the risk from dying overdose. I mean moving around the city which is the way we are dealing with it now. We are asking people to move. If they go to a seven day shelter bed and some take this and it will be interesting to see the data what happens after the seven day beds. For the most part they are returning to the streets. I dont know the answers. You have the complicated problems dumping into each other. I think we do a disservice when it is like it cant be that moving people is bad all of the time or seven day shelters are bad all of the time. If those are always bad we have no solutions. We dont have a city full of 30day beds. These are good questions. How it is handled today versus two years ago or versus another city. We need more data to determine it. Over the last two years we may have worsened the situation in investing more money in police and moving people more and increasing suffering on the streets, taking tents more and increasing danger on the streets. That is what i would like to get the data to understand better. Good evening. I apologize. Thank you for your work and presentation tonight. I dont have much followup. It seems like you had a lot more questions than answers for the data. That is something we need to address. To the degree the Police Commission can have an impact it is great the idea of you working with the Partner Agencies that have been involved in hsoc. Commissioner dejesus mentioned a working group with the department and some of the other partners. Is that something you think would be helpful and you would be willing to participate in . I would be if it was taken seriously. My hesitation is two years ago there was a task force for the San Francisco homeless Advisory Board can we were invited on. We met and there were some good meetings upfront. Over the year 30 of the meetings were cancelled. Another large number were changed last minute without our scheduling. It was about their scheduling. If this was a Real Partnership and not just going to be sort of, you know, a facade, yes. It was the San FranciscoPolice DepartmentAdvisory Board. It was organized through the commander lazar before hsoc. If there was commission oversight, yes, i would be willing to participate and i know the coalition would be, too, from what we discussed already. If we have a say in ownership of, you know, everybody has got to buy in on this in the city. It is impacting policing so much that i do think that a working group might be a good idea here to just keep the ball like commander laza are understanding. I may be harsh. The Partner Agencies are dedicated people, but getting everybody together and listening to everybody, i think, is always a benefit to discuss as a commission. Thank you. That would be great. I appreciate it. Commissioner elias. I had two requests one is fulfilled having you at the table because i think it is very important that your input is communicated to hsoc. My second request is that the data be provided and you difficult the lead program which has a phenomenal documenting system and i dont know if that is because it is a grant and that data is required. They have a system to tell you how many arrests happen in the district, where they were referred what the clinician was and what the result is. They track it. They have a model in terms how the data is to be gathered, collected and produced to the stakeholders to measure howtule the program is. I ask that you lead out and find a similar system to get the data to see if this is really helping or not. Will do. All officers are participating in lead. Thank you. I will follow up. Okay. Thank you for your presentation. Incredibly heart breaking. Next item. Public comment on this last item. We are ready. I just requested he bring in a quieter fan. That is appreciated by all of us, im sure. I am unhappy with the city. This is no way to treat seven volunteers, members of the Police Department and public. I will make my feelings known to the city. At least i did something about it. Thank you. First of all, i believe the brown act was violated. The materials were not ready in time before the meeting. That is not unusual. First of all, its criminal to arrest people for homelessness. It is a chime. It is cleared by theth district th district court. Go here while we steal your stuff. This is theft. The theft of peoples property and the only home they have. Why dont we go in the encampments and see what the homeless say they need. Why dont we say move out of the way so we dont have to look at them. If you are concerned about drug addiction maybe talk to the sfpd about the raids that are in cooperation with ice maybe you could do something about that. Maybe do something with the fact 70 of the Homeless People were evicted from the San Francisco situation. They didnt come from out of town. Without just cause they cant just see evict people. Capitalism hires police to protect money not people, not communities. The whole system underlying problem is that we are not concerned about the welfare of the people. I know for a fact in articles people that have gone to reclaim possessions have been told to stand out in the rain. There are reports of people taking their possessions in the department of public works and even selling them. This is theft. Not confiscation, not tagging. To continually arrest people that cannot pay bail, cannot afford, you know, the fines given them is just forcing them deeper and deeper into the criminal system. It is appalling, we are not doing our work here. It is shameless, frankly. Next speaker, please. Hello, commissioners and chief. I am the founder and director of the st. Francis homelessness challenge. In 201617 we worked with four large encampments we acted as a liaison. We made a suggestion two years ago for an hsoc like organization. It is missing a key component working with the encampment residents and advocates and Service Providers. People need a place to go. Chris mentioned a couple of of things as solutions a safe space. We are working on a cod code complaint management for Emergency Shelter response a transitional village. We have budgets, the ability to deploy this with political will. We could create a thousand savoringed spaces for people this upcoming year with the transitional villages. It fits with the current Emergency Shelter ordinance passed earlier this year with the department of homelessness and Mayors Office. These are solutions. Chris mentioned eugene program, the white bird clinics. The police and fire den departmt love this. 66 of the encounters with people experiencing homelessness are with crisis, deescalation expert and certified emt. Savoringed spaces and the model are two things i would love to present to the group. I will send you an email with will links. Thank you. Thank you. I am evan. I have been a resident in San Francisco for seven years. We just saw that value one of hsoc is lead with services. I didnt see anything in the presentation about what happens to individuals who enter shelter through hsoc calls after one month, three months. I didnt see anything in the controllers lengthy report on hsoc. Why are short term outcomes not reported . It might have something to do with the mullin multiple slidesn reducing tents and encampments. The 15 beds earmarked why dont they fill up when there are 5,000 homeless. Hsoc does things with homeless. The beds are bare minimum. They cycling people through the system. They are a leaf so they can rationalize and legalize the daily trauma and that take tents and tarps. Sweep up possessions and Survival Gear and make great looking powerpoint slides how it is improving peoples lives. They can tart the narcannery versal after there were 150 instances of narcan taken. These mass confiscations contribute to the 400 deaths on the streets. If referrals are working lets pay the hot teams and stop treating this as a Law Enforcement issue. Good evening. I am kelly. I am a human rights organizer with the coalition on homelessness. I am thrilled we are here. I am on the homeless coordinating board. I have been asking for the data and information that you have been asking. I have been asking every month for the past year and a half. We are not getting anything. The things in the powerpoint was from sunshine request that i had to start digging there. Is no transparency, no open communication, and we were seeing what is happening on the streets. We see and i have been doing street outreach in some way in the city for almost 18 years now. It is not new. What we are seeing recently is officers going and i have got to tell you officers are being thrown under be the bus. They dont want to do this. They know they have got nothing. We wish there was somewhere that people could go. The numbers are really simple. It doesnt add up. It doesnt add up. Refocus. What we are seeing now is where officers are going out because of the focus is so much on tents. They are saying give up the tents or you are going to jail. The officers of shelter are not real. The rv count what is the city providing for People Living in rv . Safe parking . They do not have resources yet. Hsoc is targeting People Living in the vehicles. I meet with advocates across the United States are stunned with how harsh it is in San Francisco. There are Human Rights Violations taking place here. Good evening, commissioners. Thank you for having this hearing. I hear a lot from you guys about need for Community Policing, not enough money, this stuff. We have massive housing. We need funding to expand treatment. Nobody addresses Mental Health if they are going to the streets, not permanent housing. We have 75 fulltime highly trained, highly expensive offerings responding to what is an economic crisis. A housing crisis. That is a lot of money over 40 million spent leading nowhere. That neighbor that commissioner taylor we were talking about that is frustrated. That neighbors needs are not met by moving people block to block. Those needs are met by moving people to housing. As long as we have a Police Response to homelessness we are not going to have the resources to house people. I think we are confused here. When we lead with services, that means you lead with services. Social Service Provider is leading. When you lead with police, that is not leading with services. Leading with services is defined term. It doesnt work. You know, we had a Police Response is not correct when hsoc was first started we thought it was decreasing police. We went from 24 to 75 officers responding to homelessness. Other municipalities are trying something different. Citations are down. Courts are no longer issuing warrants for unpaid citations. Folk on the streets are not feeling a big gain. For them an hsoc policy is alone and unsheltered. All right. I have been waiting awhile. I want to say this. I am a formerly homeless individual. I am one that has experienced life on the streets. Believe me the last thing i ever wanted to hear when i was in crisis was get up and move along. I am sick and tired of hearing about the sweeps. I heard about the sweep. What is going on here . I want this to stop. I want things to be led with services. Now, when i was on the streets, i was assaulted, victim of a hate crime. Someone punched me so hard i almost lost an eye. I didnt go to the police because i felt i would be criminalized. It is real for so many people. It is time to cut the police funding. 23 of our funding goes to policing jails, that bullshit, only 3 goes to homelessness. We have to shift priorities here and just stop the bullshit and get people housed, lead with services. We need Navigation Centers, we need Supportive Housing that is not some crummy bullshit which i live in. We need to change priorities. I know this is the Police Commission. We have to cut police funding. Screw that. Fuck the police. Good evening. Thank you for serving San Francisco. I am ellen. I am a public social worker for Public Health. I am a candidate for mayor for november 2019 this year. The reason i am here is because we had a meeting in chinatown, and we have so many victims came out to report crimes. Let me stop you. We are just taking comments on homelessness presentations. General Public Comment will come after this. This is just on homelessness issue. One of the issue you talk about the Homeless People have been staying overnight in chinatown that has bothered the merchants, elderlies that are afraid in chinatown. I came in today. I hear the deports. You and i just heard it tonight. San francisco has more than 21,000 Homeless People. No matter what you do and what you do up here today, the homeless problem is not going to be able to stop. The problem is the question is where is the money . The city budget 3,900 to 17,000, homeless a month. Where is the money . Number two, democrats have been in control of city hall for 45 years. We have no problem until one party policy that is dominated our city hall that is all democrats 100 . The homeless problem is created by no one but democrats. To protect human rights and human life. If you look around, what do you see . No Chinese People. You see the Homeless People. White people, black people, latino people, you dont see a lot of Chinese People. Why . You are racist, racist. Your name. Good afternoon commission i am angela jen kings. I want to thank you. I havent spoken for some years. I see spaces that make me smile. Law enforcement and other people. I come in newly. David lazar charmed me to it is on for two years the Community Policing group. I learned a lot. I learned my most from meeting with the coalition of homelessness and seeing them stay in my district for the navigation center, brave people asking for compassion. I am a person that doesnt believe strongly in policing. I think there are alternatives. I have voiced that. I am looking for a nonLaw Enforcement response to the issue of housing people, and i hope we arrive at that and thank you very much. I am martha. I am participating in the coalition on homelessness, human rights work group. I have defended quite a few thousand infraction citations in the fairly disand past. I want to say the most important statistic tonight is from chris herring saying only 5 of the hsoc calls got the resolution care where people are offered the lovely thingsdescribed to you. A very lovely compassionate group of services are described to be offered. They are offered on a limited basis. Everyone else, go away. We throw away your stuff, punish you buy throwing away your stuff if you dont go away. This is just that the city is not thinking about trusting people enough to help them to survive on their own until there is enough of what is city has to offer to offer to everyone. There is a notion that people either receive something from the city or everything is the same. If you can help people to survive in place, you help people to survive a lot longer quite physically. I live south of market. I have lived there since 1996. I want to say my own experience is i see sfpd telling people to move, i see dpw throwing away peoples things, a lot of plans. What i have not seen since abot 2015 when somebody was helping me with a neighbor still sleep on the sidewalk, what i havent seen is actual outreach workers. I would like to see those, survey people help them not hurt them. Thank you. Hi. I am flow kelly with the coalition on homelessness. I have learned a lot by doing that. I am very impressed with your questions and your concerns. This is very hopeful to me. I really like president hershs idea that the coalition and hsoc should absolutely Work Together. I want to make clear, Vice President taylor, that when people are told to move, often times it is only just a few feet. They are told instead of being right here could you just move three feet over here . Or it could just be going around the block. I dont see the point of that. Supposedly, i have heard it said tonight an encampment is a bastion of criminal activity. When people are coming together, they are protecting each other, making friends, sharing resources. It is a very important support system that you have when people are together. Breaking up people just because there is six or more tents, i dont understand that or making vehicles move because there are suddenly 10 on the block, i dont get that at all. I think that dpw has a lot of vehicles in homeless folks. Did i say bayview . I meant to say bayview has a lot of folks because it is industry. Dpw tags only at the dpw yard. They do not tag anything that they take while it is on site. How could that possibly result in accurate tagging . Thank you. May i use the overhead for video . I am taylor. I am a mission resident, member of the Sf Bike Coalition and latino democratic club. I want be to share a quick video on the overhead from february. This is pushing down rain. Pouring down rain. There is rain on division and mission street. There are bicycles and tents inside the dpw truck facilitated by the police. This is unacceptable. It is a waste of money. Resources should be towards services and housing and supporting people to live a better life with those services and not police intervention. Defund the Police Activity on every homeless encampment and bring the neighbors to spaces they want to be. Thank you. I am john jones. I recently took a train tip from los angeles to San Francisco and from bakers field to emryville one gets to see from the window of the train numerous homeless encampments. Most of us get to see these encampmentses, congregation of tents from eye level. When you are on the train on top of the Railroad Embankment you see it from 10 to 15 feet. My impression of these encampments was these are horrific placement. This report is unable to capture the horror of these homeless encampments. I felt that they were a threat to the surrounding communities. Over a period of time, Civilized Society would be impossible given these encampments and how people inter acted with each other. The charge was made that the individuals involved in reaching to the homeless and meeting their needs are racist because of the lack of chinese being served. I would like to suggest another reason. The chinese have strong families. I have seen it time and time again. I live in excellin excel see or. That is why there are fewer receiving the services. It is to their credit. I hope it is perceived as a compliment. Next speaker. I am melody. I was born in 1958. In 1960 i sustained a brain injury and it was not diagnosed until 1997. If you google it the studies show that approximately 50 of the Homeless Population suggestion stained a brain injury prior to becoming homeless. Of that 50 , 75 sustained the injury prior to age 18. I started seeking services from the city and county of San Francisco in the year 2000. And 14 years later not one agency offered me any kind of rehabilitation for brain injury. I have had a total of 40 years of talk therapy which did not help me learn my multiplication tables or skills of daily living. I have been living on the street since 2007, and i have a good rapport with jeff, a good rapport with the Bayview Police captains. I have been attending the Police Community meetings since 2009, and there is not any services for me. We just need to somehow stop what the hsoc is doing. It is terrorizing me and not helping me get housing. Thank you so much. Okay. This is still homelessness. I would like to use the overhead. I had the opportunity to visit vision zero of homicides. I will bring this up. We are talking about homelessness. People are losing their homes because their children are being murdered. Chief scott was talking about people dying on the street. We talk about homelessness and people are dying, but homicide is the same. People are losing their homes. They have to live on the street. The mothers cant stay in the projects because they lost their home because of crime or whatever is in the house. You talk about Mental Health. Yes, we are suffering. I havent lost my home but i know people that are. We talk about zero tolerance. That goes for everyone. People are losing their homes. We need to do something. I do drive past and see those trucks picking up those Homeless Peoples things and putting them in the trunk and i dont see them tagged. I feel sorry for them. I give them money. I shouldnt but i do. Half of them have children and half of them are pregnant, and it is sad. We need to do something about it. Thank you. Thank you. Public comment on the homelessness presentation is closed. Next item, please. Item 7 general Public Comment. General public is welcome to address the commission on items not on the agenda. Address it to the hole. During Public CommentNeither Police or commissioners are required to respond to questions presented by the public but may provide a brief response. Individual commissioners and police and dpa personnel should refrain from entering into any debates or discussion with speakers during Public Comment. General Public Comment. It is against policy for a member of the commission to send emails to the members of the public via private email. After the last meeting i received such an email from commissioner hersh. I offered to meet and have a conversation. Commissioner hersh dropped the ball. I feel it is necessary to bring this before you all. At that meeting i stated that many members of the public that have just spoken were distraught about louise after arriving on the screen. No one showed any compassion. The email from his private email said these words. Did you spit on my car . Thats what i heard from the commissioner. Did you spit on my car . My answer was i should not even responds to that because it is so insulting. No, i did not spit on your car. I am frankly appalled you would think that. I would never stoop so low to hate you that you would make such assumption about the member of the public. It shows how little you respect us. I was calling about your lack of compassion for the families whose loved had been killed by the police. I cannot let stand such a breach of policy that is an insult not only to me but for the public in general. What will you do to rectify this . I dont know if he is telling you i pit on his car. I dont know what car you drive. Thithis is an insult and against policy. I want to know what you are going to do to rectify this. Next speaker. Thank you. Commissioners, i am Gregory Leone a resident of San Francisco and representing the chinese merchants. We feel there is a rise of violence crimes against the chinese, particularly we hope the Police Department will help before it gets worse. For the merchants, besides the crimes there are a lot of petty crimes on the chinese merchants like shoplifting, spit on, groping, racial slurs calling. We get that every day. I have had that since i was a child in San Francisco, but i never reported it, and i never kept that in mind. I just hope that people will learn to work with each other and live with each others. Heart tread has hatred has been around for a long time and hopefully with this president that is having so much on race problems the department will do something about it. I hope that the chief and you commissioners would take time to visit chinatown with a rally with the concentration of chinese and spread the word that we can live with each other. We dont have to hate each other. I hope the department will support the ambassador program. Thank you. Can we shut the door, please. Chief scott, commissioners, i am a resident of china town. About three mondays ago, two seniors over the age of 60 just had their lunch and walk out from the restaurant and he was attacked and three guys picked him up and threw him down on the sidewalk again and took his role lex watch away. That is not only one instance, you know, earlier in the year there was a 70yearold woman, two of them being raped in parks and homes, one that the assailants released the dog to bite on their arms. One of them is still in the hospital. Every time chief you assign good captains in every district, you know, they respond. They have Community Meetings and they are committed to, you know, find the perpetrators. They have received the high are authority with the detail in your Department Working on this, but, you know, these people are hard to find. We know that, and we just have to do better. You know, we drink coffee and people know from time to time i come to city hall and testify. They ask me to relay the message that we need help. Thank you. I want to second the two Chinese People before me gregory and richard. We came from the community. I was at the Community Meeting july 22nd in chinatown. Many of the police and Mayors Office were there. The Chinese People were not allowed to speak. You know San Francisco we had about 900,000 residents. 35 asian people. Within the 35 asian people, chinese are the majority of that. Look around. No chinese commissioner sitting up there. That is discrimination. We, the Chinese Americans contribute in San Francisco for the last 150 years. What do we get . Retaliation. Many of the police they are trying to do their jobs. There are no one but democrats. Police are not able to arrest because of popsition 47 proposition 47. They arrest perpetrators when they go to court, what does the court do . Release them right away. Chinese have been targeted for crimes. You as commissioners do something about it. If the police chief right here, he is not able to do his job, leave San Francisco. Maybe you do not need to be in San Francisco. We need people who care about San Francisco, not for africanamerican people but Chinese People and other people also. For many months we chinese have been targeted. [please stand by]
