Id like to remind all of my Community Members who are sfpd is one of the racist and Brutal Police forces in the nation and has been investigated by the department of justices at the federal and state level. They have just been netanyahu. Fire department hi, im calling to support inaudible on the stands that the language should be taken off our charter around maximizing Police Presence in our communities and we dont want police in our communities. We want them gone. And i would also like to see Something Else on the ballot besides this about a polishing the police and the sfpd. This isnt enough.

Next speaker, please. Hello, im a San Francisco resident living in working in district 1. I am calling in support of the Charter Amendment to eliminate minimum staffing requirements for sfpd and urge the to maximize press presence in the city. Minimum staffing requirements are in district opposition of defunding. This is not a thought less, radical reaction. They have proven to be ineffective and will not work. Its not possible to reform a Police System that is flawed at its core. When we demand dis panning of sfpd, were not thought lesley doing sought. I echo the sentiments of many others on this call we should redistribute funds and are effective Niagara Falls keeping communities safe. I thank the president for this and urge the supervisors to support this. This is only one of the many obstacles to ensuring the communities. Thank you. Thank you for your comments.

For anyone who wants to speak with them the Charter Amendment press star 3 to raise your hand if you have not already done so. Next speaker, please. Im calling to support amendment and the police are not Public Servants motivated by public need and theyre a selfinterested group by expanding their own power and creeping themselves further into every corner. Here in San Francisco, a lot of people have come through selling a lot of crap over the years and no one has been more successful than the police. They got it into the city charter we have to buy crap every year and theyre selling this, were going to draw a line through the community and we promise you that all the violence, the harm and risk stays on that other side of the line so when you invest in policing you have the community and if you love that crap is Public Safety then you are saying that all the people caught on the other side of that line dont really count as the public at all. Thats why its our vulnerable accidents receiving that harm, black, indigenous, people of color, trans, unhoused and its not a broken system its the crap theyre selling. Defund sfpd immediately. I yield my time. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. The police are from the community. Of course staffing as with approved by the voters. Eight died and six injured, bleeding hiding and dying waiting for understaffed department and ill equips the time to get quickly the massacres victims between the first and 36 floors. 911 shooting victims called answered the Police Department were delayed because they had to be transferred across the city for medical triage when Police Called they were not authorized by the state and all improvements were in large part because of this charter. Who does this group with their scripts and false info to come to your home like they threatened last night if you dont comply. We used to call crime. Defend the police, thank you.

Hi, my name is camilla and i am a resident of San Francisco and district 8. I really hope the supervisors are watching since hundreds of us are online to tell us what were thinking about these different amendments. I want to call to support the Charter Amendment to eliminate the sfpd minimum staffing requirement and remove language regarding maximized Police Presence. Today less than 5 of sfpd calls for service are in response to violent criminals. This means that cut the budget and staffing by 50 is a conservative demand. Sociologists writes, part of our misunderstanding about the nature of policing is we imagine we can turn police into social workers and make them nice, Friendly Community outreach workers but police are violent they have the legal capacity to use violence so when we return to a problem, there will be violence because theyre the schools theyre equipped to use instead of trying to reform this failing system we must pivot towards better alternative policing solution, please say it with us, we are asking you to disarm and abolish the police, say those words. My name is case, native San Francisco and directly impacted by the criminal injustice system. The sf sunshine ordinance states Public Officials who attempt to conduct the public business in secret should be held accountable. Turn your cameras on or you just wont be vote voted out. We will keep you with busy for video of this meeting and your behavior during Public Comments that you will be sorry. Im calling in support of this amendment. I further demand that you step up and commit to abolition. Stand on the right side of history, do your job. Black lives matter, more than blue salaries. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please.

Im calling in support of the Charter Amendment minimum staffing requirement and i demand you remove any language regarding maximizing Police Presence in the community and city charter. It operates as the constitution and its supposed to reflect the values, goals and vision of the community and this does not represent what the people of the city want.

There are so many other things that i could be going towards and there is studies that common straight that police do not protect property or people and theres countless better ways to ensure that Community Safety and better uses of those funds. This is not a radical demand.

Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. This is, this is the pissed off queer glob let. The minimum staffing is a racist policy born out of the war on drugs and black and brown children and i support the removal of the Charter Amendment to begin the defunding, disarming and disbanding of the sfpd. It was made a fund antly clear by hundreds of San Francisco residents last night. I demand that removing of any language maximizing the presence of police if you did not listen to the people you will lose your jobs. Black lives matter, i yield my time. Thank you for your comments.
