I was dismissed the last two items. This is magic altman. I reported today that the police held down a woman handcuffed and kneeled on her back. In the last two weeks, ive witnessed the police harass over and over again Homeless People. Its obscene, whats happening in the city. You know, the whole report from the d. P. A. , the main report we want to talk about is the mario woods decision took five years, and it was according to policy that he was killed, even though all five officers were trained in c. I. T. That was according to policy. Isnt that interesting . And then, all of the reports that for, you know, a [inaudible] over a slap on the wrist for not putting on their bodyworn camera or entering a house without a cause, 30 days suspension, that could have been a brie Breonna Taylor again. After three hours, i was not allowed to talk and cutoff twice. There are two bureaucracies getting nowhere. You all voted unanimously against the budget. Unanimously. What have you done since then . The p. L. A. Is doing private negotiation. This is a waste of the publics time [inaudible] what causes violence is prejudice and racism and lack of education and lack of job opportunities. Thats the question. Vice president taylor thank you. Next caller. Clerk good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Hi. My name is peter hosy, and im calling to demand that the Police Negotiation turn back all regulations involving the p. O. A. Including negotiations in todays session. The police cannot be trusted and the public needs to know what happens in these situations. While people are facing unemployment and cuts in hours, the p. O. A. Negotiated for pay raises for Police Officers. [inaudible] a vote to hold p. O. A. Sessions in closed session is a vote for the p. O. A. And a vote against the people of San Francisco. We need all discussions for the p. O. A. To happen in open session. Its a matter of Public Safety. Thank you. Vice president taylor thank you. Next caller. Clerk good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Hello, Police Commission. Im calling tonight again to request that the p. O. A. Negotiations and negotiations for the brutal, oppressive and disgusting actions are discussed in public in this democratic society. I think especially a brutal, violent, and racism. They are an evil in our society, they are the storm troopers marching in our streets, and we need to figure out how to no longer have police in the manner that we do any longer in our country. It is an international shame, it is an international disgrace. When travelers to europe come to the United States, they are warned about our brutal, oppressive police forces. We dont need incideternationa shame about our brutality. We need a functioning system, and our democracy right now is demanding that we defund the brutal, oppressive and violent agency that you are imposing on the city of San Francisco. So its imperative that the Police Commission do everything in its power to eliminate the brutality that is occurring daily on our streets. This violence, this racism, this absolute and completely disgusti disgusti disgusting vile behavior on the part of the government. You are disgraces. We want you gone. Vice president taylor thank you. Thank you. Next caller. Clerk caller, you have two minutes. Hi. Good evening, commissioners, chief scott, and executive members. Its brian [inaudible] from the p. D. S office. On may 20, the d. G. O. Was scheduled to appear in front of the commission so the commission could approve it whether to meet and confer. It was, however, removed from calendar. Why . The revised d. G. O. Is a substantial improvement over the previous version. Represents a significant amount of hard work of many people, including several commissioners. On june 3, commissioners asked for the d. G. O. To be agendized again. Three months ago, and it has yet to appear on the agenda. Whats the delay . The commission needs to tell us. 5. 03 cant get here soon enough. Black people represent 35 of all stops and 37 of all searches. Those percentages are the highest of all racial groups in those categories. In a recent abc news store ae that analyzed data from 2014 to 2020 found that Racial Disparities across San Francisco have gotten worse since 2014. The report found that black drivers were 4. 4 times more likely to be stopped than white drivers. 5. 03 is no panacea, but its a good start. Its time to discuss and move 5. 03 forward. Vice president taylor thank you, caller. I agree. Next caller. Operator caller, you have two minutes. Okay. Hello. Im calling to demand that the Police Commission conduct all negotiations and discussions regarding the p. O. A. , including today in an open session. The p. O. A. Cannot be trusted, and the public needs to know what happens in these discussions. Weve seen what happens when the p. O. A. Operates in the shadows when Union Workers are facing salary freezes. The p. O. A. Negotiated behind closed doors with the mayor and the department of Human Resources to keep their salaries, prevent any layoffs, and negotiated raises p. O. A. Will continue to steal resources from the rest of us. Transparency is a matter of Public Safety, so these negotiations inflict harm on communities with impugnity. One of the rights of the public is the right to know act. We cannot allow the commission and the p. O. A. To go behind closed doors and bargain away one of the last things available to us. There is no law requiring the Police Commission to hold a closed session. Even assuming that these discussions actually involve labor negotiations, the brown act and the sunshine ordinance allow but do not require a closed session. We have heard multiple members of this tran mission call for transparency and more Police Accountability work. There is gods consensus not just in San Francisco but across the country to hold negotiations in the public. Many agencies have called for complete transparency for all contract approvals operator thank you. Caller. Okay, caller. You have two minutes. Hi. My names katie ann from district 9. I am calling to demand the Police Commission conduct all negotiations including the p. O. A. In open session. The p. O. A. Cannot be trusted, and the public needs to know what happens in these discussions. The only thing preventing an open session is your desire to protect the p. O. A. Before the people. Theres no law requiring the Police Commission to hold a closed session. Even assuming that these negotiations actually approve labor negotiations, the brown act and the sunshine ordinance allow but do not require a closed session. We need you to live up to your proclamations about against holding a closed session. Theres broad consensus not just in San Francisco but across the country that Police Contract negotiations must happen in public. Organizations from the major cities, Chiefs Police association, to the u. S. Conference of mayor to the naacp Legal Defense and to the aclu have called for complete transparency for Law Enforcement contract proposals for the sake of the common good. The sunshine ordinance states that he electricitied official elected officials, commissions, and agencies conduct the citys business [inaudible] about the operations of local government. A vote to hold p. O. A. Related discusses in closed session is a vote for p. O. A. President tony montoya and a vote against the people of San Francisco. We need all discussions regarding p. O. A. To happen in open sessions. Its a matter of Public Safety. Vice president taylor thank you. Next caller. Operator good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Hello. My name is [inaudible] i am a resident of San Francisco, and i am calling in to this Commission Meeting for probably the fourth or fifth Public Comment that ive been calling into, and im sure you all enjoy the sound of my voice because apparently, you all cant do jack shit on this commission, so you want us to continue calling in because youre not doing jack shit. So were going to keep calling in to these Public Comments, and were going to keep calling in, and were going to keep calling in until you do something. You know, as one of the previous callers said, you all the Police Officers who shot mario woods, they were acting under policy, so youre going to give them a slap on the wrist. Are you proud of that as commissioners on the Police Commission . Like seriously, id like you to think about that. Ill be silent for five or ten seconds while you think about that. Are you proud of this, that San FranciscoPolice Officers can murder people with impunity, and you say its just under policy. Like, give me a fucking break. Grow some fucking balls, and make this commission do what its supposed to do, which is oversight for police and not just internal discussions that go nowhere. Thanks again, and ill be talking on the next Public Comment thing right after this. Bye. Vice president taylor thank you. Next caller. Operator caller, you have two minutes. Hi. I just want to give a heads up that i have another caller on the line after me. My name is jessica soto, and im a resident in district 5, and im calling to discuss that the Police Commission conduct all negotiations regarding the p. O. A. In open session. The p. O. A. Cant be trusted, and the public needs to know what happens in those negotiations. Theyve repeatedly cited the meet and confer project in their proposal and they manage to delay even the most mild policy changes. They attempted legal action to reject policies by prohibiting officers from shooting at living cars, which is how sfpd murdered Jessica Williams and the use of restraints that killed eric gardner. Just last week, they declared meet and confer so they could kneel on the necks of san franciscans. [inaudible] the courts have ruled against the p. O. A. Time and time and time again. Despite Numerous Court rulings rejecting the negotiation of p. O. A. , they continue to distribute misinformation across the government. [inaudible] it wasnt until outside attorney showed supervisor yee earlier Court Rulings that directly contradicted the p. O. A. That the Charter Amendment was able to move forward. I also want to thank you guys for hearing out all of the comments from people today and wanted to yield the rest of my time, and then, i have another person after me. Vice president taylor thank you. Next caller. Yeah. Hi. Im sorry. Hi. So im cindy [inaudible] from district 5, and im calling in to demand that the Police Commission conduct all negotiations and discussions regarding the p. O. A. , including todays, in an open session. The p. O. A. Cannot be trusted, and the public needs to know what happens in these discussions. Weve seen what happens when the p. O. A. Operates in the shadows. While Union Workers are facing salary freezes, the p. O. A. Negotiated behind closed doors with the mayor and the department of Human Resources to keep their raises, prevent any layoffs, and lock in two more years of 7 raises. Without transparency, the p. O. A. Will continue to [inaudible] and continue to steal resources from the rest of us. Transparency is just a matter of Public Safety. Police contracts materially affect Public Safety and cops ability to inflict injury on the community with impunity. [inaudible] which gives the public acticess to records of police misconduct. We cannot allow the commission and the p. O. A. To get behind closed door and bargain away one of the few measures of public accountability thats available to us. The public must have a seat at the table in order to hold police accountable. Thank you. Ill yield the rest of my time. Vice president taylor thank you. Ive said this before a few times, but we are not negotiating with the p. O. A. In closed session. I think the public knows this by now, but we are meeting with our lawyers. Its a meeting with Legal Council only, and we even changed the agenda to reflect. The p. O. A. Is not going to be in closed session. This is not a negotiation with the p. O. A. I think people know that, and theyre still calling in because they want to. But i just want to say thats not whats happening. Thank you. Operator good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Hi there. I totally heard what you just said, so i wont talk about this closed session, but i just want to read to everybody what the p. O. A. Overview is and remind everybody what why were here. So according to the website, it says, the San FranciscoPolice Officers association is dedicated to improving the working conditions of its members as well as being actively involved in the communities we serve. All the members of our association are committed to the welfare and protection of every city citizen of San Francisco. So i just want to remind you, regardless of whether or not these meetings are to be closed, were asking for them to be public. We want to be involved in this process. Just like it says on the p. O. A. Overview, we want yall to be involved in the protection of us. We want yall to see us alive and actually thriving, yes. I yield my time. Vice president taylor thank you. Next caller. Operator caller, you have two minutes. Im a resident of San Francisco district 5, and i understand, supervisor, that these are all private meetings held with lawyers. At the same time, this is all being held in the public interest, and i think it all needs to be held in public. Im just going to use the rest of my time to talk about how we need to defund, disarm, and disband the police. Just going to reiterate what everyone else is saying in the allegiance that seems to be played to the Police Officers association, and again, just want to echo that transparency is a matter of Public Safety and if theres anything going on behind closed doors, that its not being done with respect to Public Safety. And its quite disrespectful. I hope you can take all of these comments genuinely. Thank you. I yield my time. Vice president taylor thank you. I would just say that anyone who thinks that theres an allegiance to the Police Association has not been listening to this commission. Youre welcome to call in and give Public Comment, but thats not whats going on here. Next caller. Operator good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Caller, you have been unmuted, and you have two minutes. [inaudible]. Operator thank you, caller. Good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Hi. So did you just commit to holding all future p. O. A. Contract negotiations in open session, as well . I realize that the session today is not in open session, but im talking about future contract negotiations you may be holding with the p. O. A. Id like confirmation on that. If so, thats great. Can anyone respond to that . Is that a commitment right now . Vice president taylor we are not Holding Contract negotiations with the p. O. A.
