Or even im still here. I hope more police and more safety, you know, in our community, all the community, we appreciate it. President hirsch thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. My name is paula williams, and im homeless in San Francisco right now. Ive been homeless since december of 2018. Ive made Numerous Police reports. Ive been harmed numerous of times by staff in the shelters. The police have did me no justice. Ive went to the city attorney, ive went to the d. P. A. Its just plain corruption. Its five Police Officers that dont want to take a Police Report, made false statements in my Police Report. Didnt want me to file a Police Report and just was lying. I liked when miss taylor said they wanted to take a look at the shelters. Every morning, i walkthrough t. L. And encourage them, tell them to get up, all to its numerous of stuff that whatever hsoc and all of them is talking about, i just called the Police Yesterday in front of walgreens and had the police come up and pick a lady that was laying on the ground. Sometimes i just do field work all day and call 911, can you please get this person up, can you please so i dont know what they talking about. Every day, im in the tenderloin. Whatever salary they getting, they know me down there. They know me really well. So i think you guys should look up all my Police Reports, go to d. P. A. , and ask someone thats working in the shelters thats harming, it was a 26yearold girl that sprayed chemicals in a 66yearolds face this morning. President hirsch thank you. Any other Public Comment general Public Comment . My name is john jones. May my remarks please the commission. About two years ago, i was getting on a 14 mission bus at the corner of geneva and mission, and all of a sudden, i heard this scream, a woman scream. And i looked around, and there was a chinese woman in the back holding a very well cared for child, and three black teenagers were running off the bus. I came facetoface with one of the teenagers, and he was smiling. Apparentl apparently, one of them had just ripped a cell phone out of the womans hand. Now, the witness to that was five chinese men sitting in the back of the bus. My impression was that chai necessary have very tight families. I could run through the numbers, but my estimate is that 3,000 separate individuals heard a full recounting of that crime and the effect upon that woman. You cannot buy that kind of bad publicity. Its stupid. For a 25 cell phone, you alienate all those people . Thats one fact in all this crime that we talk about that doesnt get emphasized, the effect it has on others, particularly others of different races. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. Any other Public Comment . Id like to use the overhead again. Im trying to start it. Wait a minute. President hirsch we need you to talk into the mic, though. Im trying to start my video, so could you so wait a minute. Sorry. Just a second. I think its ready now. So oh, here we go. 12 years after his son was her son was shot and killed in San Francisco, tonight, shes still pleading for answers and hoping a huge reward will lead to an arrest. Our Crime Reporter has the story. Im here. This is the 12 year. Im back again. Its a sad summer ritual, paulette brown, pleading with San Francisco police after her only son was shot and killed back in 2006. I was told back when it happened, its going to get easier, but it doesnt. I can deal with it. Im functioning. I work i do everything that i need to do, but this pain never, never ends. On august 14, 2006, 17yearold aubrey aberkacen approached several gang members. Police say aubrey wasnt a gang member, but he yelled at his friends to run, and they shot him in the back for this. Like she does each year, she passes out fliers, hoping someone will be brave enough to come forward. San Francisco Police say a 250,000 reward remains in effect. I know its been 12 years, i know its been a long time, but if we can solve a case from the Golden State Killer that goes back for decades, we can solve one thats 12 years old. I cant believe hes been gone 12 years and nothings happened. Aubreys mother and the police say if you have any information, call police. So im saying august 14 of this month will be his anniversary, and im looking for you guys to come im having Media Coverage on grove and baker. Steve David Stevenson has already given me the flier to pass out to faithbased people. Im hoping that coming here for all these years that you guys would accompany me and stand with us concerning unsolved homicides and mothers and fathers who lost their children to homicide so maybe some way we can heal.

I am familiar with what people are going through to relate and empathy and compassion to their struggle so they can see i came out of the struggle, it gives them hope to come up and do something positive. I am a community ambassador. We work a lot with homeless, visitors, a lot of people in the area. What i like doing is posting up at hotspots to let people see visibility. They ask you questions, ask you directions, they might have a question about what services are available. Checking in, you guys. Wellness check. We walk by to see any individual, you know may be sitting on the sidewalk, we make sure they are okay, alive. You never know. Somebody might walk by and they are laying there for hours. You never know if they are alive. We let them know we are in the area and we are here to promote safety, and if they have somebody that is, you know, hanging around that they dont want to call the police on, they dont have to call the police. They can call us. We can direct them to the services they might need. We do the three one one to keep the city neighborhoods clean. There are people dumping, waste on the ground and needles on the ground. It is unsafe for children and adults to commute through the streets. When we see them we take a picture dispatch to 311. They give us a tracking number and they come later on to pick it up. We take pride. When we come back later in the day and we see the loose trash or debris is picked up it makes you feel good about what you are doing. It makes you feel did about escorting kids and having them feel safe walking to the play area and back. The stuff we do as ambassadors makes us feel proud to help keep the city clean, helping the residents. You can see the community ambassadors. I used to be on the streets. I didnt think i could become a community ambassador. It was too far out there for me to grab, you know. Doing this job makes me feel good. Because i came from where a lot of them are, homeless and on the street, i feel like i can give them hope because i was once there. I am not afraid to tell them i used to be here. I used to be like this, you know. I have compassion for people that are on the streets like the homeless and people that are caught up with their addiction because now, i feel like i can give them hope. It reminds you every day of where i used to be and where i am at now. Im nicole and lindsey, i like the fresh air. When we sign up, its always so gratifying. We want to be here. So im very excite ied to be here today. Your volunteerism is appreciated most definitely. Last year we were able to do 6,000 hours volunteering. Without that we cant survive. Volunteering is really important because we cant do this. Its important to understand and a concept of learning how to take care of this park. We have almost a 160 acres in the district 10 area. Its fun to come out here. We have a park. Its better to take some of the stuff off the fences so people can look at the park. The street, every time, our friends. I think everybody should give back. We are very fortunate. We are successful with the company and its time to give back. Its a great place for us. The weather is nice. No rain. Beautiful San Francisco. Its a great way to be able to have fun and give back and walk away with a great feeling. For more opportunities we have volunteering every single day of the week. Get in touch with the parks and Recreation Center so come once i got the hang of it a little bit, you know, like the first time, i never left the court. I just fell in love with it and any opportunity i had to get out there, you know, they didnt have to ask twice. You can always find me on the court. [ ] we have been able to participate in 12 athletics wheelchairs. They provide what is an expensive tool to facilitate basketball specifically. Behind me are the amazing golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state led by its captain, chuck hill, who was a National Paralympic and, and is now an assistant coach on the national big team. It is great to have this opportunity here in San Francisco. We are the main hub of the bay area, which, you know, we should definitely have resources here. Now that that is happening, you know, i im looking forward to that growing and spreading and helping spread the word that needs that these people are here for everyone. I think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as ablebodied, to be able to see and to try different sports, and to appreciate trying different things. People can come and check out this chairs and use them. But then also friday evening, from 6 00 p. M. Until 8 00 p. M. , it will be wheelchair basketball we will make sure it is available, and that way people can no that people will be coming to play at the same time. We offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusion programming, but this is the first time we have had our own equipment. [ ] [ ] i just wanted to say a few words. One is to the parents and to all of the kids. Thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a Soccer Program in the bayview. Soccer is the worlds game, and everybody plays, but in the united states, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. I coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. It is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. When the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. Only one or two of them had played soccer before. We gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. I think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. I get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. This is new to me. Ive always played basketball or football. I am adjusting to be a soccer mom. The bayview is like my favorite team. Even though we lose it is still fine. Right on. I have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. My favorite memory was just having fun and playing. Bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. They are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. Now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. We want to be united in the bayview. That is why this was appropriate this guy is the limit. The kids are already athletic, you know, they just need to learn the game. We have some potential collegebound kids, definitely. Today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. This year we have first and second grade. We are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. You know why . Why . Because we are . Bayview united. Thats right.
