If you would like to make Public Comment, please approach the podium. Uh, good evening, commissioners. My name is charlotte and im a lifelong resident of San Francisco, and i have some sentiments to express regarding this commissions years long meddling in the ability of San FranciscoPolice Department to enforce the law against people who make a moral choices that violate the peace and rights of our bodies, our property, and our environment. Far too many egos are oriented toward impeding Law Enforcement on sensibly to help us, but the consequences are clear a demoralized and undermined police force and a city abused and beleaguered by rampant crime and filth, both on march 5th, San Francisco voters are faced with a choice of either ushering in invasive high tech to help Police Fight Crime or continue in the vein of a hobbled police force. I refer to a proposition being put before voters that besides reining in some commission edicts, which is a good thing, would also permit facial recognition cameras, drones and other dystopian paraphernalia as policing tools. I place full fault fault squarely on the commission for putting us in this voters dilemma. Youve done a major disservice to the people of San Francisco with your holier than thou vision of the anointed. We the everyday people of San Francisco, denounce your myopic and deleterious policies and attitudes that have led to this point. Your abuse of power over policy has harmed us all. We see it. Feel it, and experience it day in and day out. Ironically however, this commissions ill conceived policing ideology has helped inspire residents and businesses alike to organize and shift the Energy Around whom we elect and who in turn pick those that sit upon that very dais where you all perch for now. Good night. Go ahead. Hi my name is ashley wessinger. Um, i used to be the president of the Marina Community association. Um, i was a delegate for the democratic party. And i know my neighborhood extremely well. Um, i was elected in as a delegate through my neighborhood, most probably. And with that, id like to discuss the special Patrol Police that i expanded in in the neighborhood due to the fact that we nobody really had a patrol in the area. Were a high profile shopping area. We have the palace of fine arts, and could everybody please look at me when im talking . Because i really mean, i came down here from my husbands sick. I took the time out. And i would like you to get off your phones and listen to what i have to say. You have this, uh, Patrol Police has been 168 years in this city, and now all of you are going to end it. Thats not acceptable, because let me tell you what they mean to us. They are family. Theyre friends. Theyre there when you pick the phone up, theres a lot of old People Living in the marina, one of which, for example, was a 6087 year old woman who was living alone, whose lights went off. And she called alan bart. And within two minutes he was in the house because she thought somebody had broken into. He went up with a ten foot ladder and found out that it was a fuze that was broken. Theres people that go away. Some people arrive and they get their houses looked after while theyre away because of the amount of crime, that property crime thats happening. There are people that come back in from the airport and they want alan to be at the door because theyre afraid when they actually come home, somebody could be behind them. They represent an entity that protects us from having to call the police to escalate any problem. We have a Mental Health problem. We have a drug problem in our hearts. And also with the passing of prop f, when people dont have any money, more crime will go up. That will affect us. Dont think for one second that thats not going to affect us when they dont have any money. So what im saying to you now is i heard that you were actually going to help revamp it. But as march the first, it ends, alan retires. Thank you. Im sorry. Your two minutes is up. Okay. Thank you. I will connect with you, deborah, because i believe youre in your positive about this. Is everybody else positive . Thank you. Maam okay. Thank you. Patricia marina, cow hollow neighborhood merchants. Shame on you. For two years, weve had people that pass the background checks. Youve done everything you can to thwart this program to make it their are six people who are who volunteered from our neighborhood that work to make this program viable and set up a program to help our beleaguered Police Department thats short of work throughout the whole city. Not one person was put on that committee. I shame on you not one person and did you have a choice . You have eight days to hire the two people that passed the background checks to pass a law to allow alan to stay long enough to train them, as long as he does not have to spend the hours at night. Its very simple solution. If you guys do this today, you work it out. Hell stay long enough to train them, but shame on you for not even including any of us that work that set up this program and made it better and better and better. And then all of a sudden, nobody whos worked on it got on the committee. We have been shafted by whoever ran it from this board. And i take a complete offense on this. And shame on you. And if youre on any of these committees, you should accept phone calls, not divert them to call forwarding. If you cant take the flak, then dont be on the commission. Shame shame on you. And were very, very, very sad. And you have a choice. And this is a good program and it helps the police. But if you hold it back, just saying, oh well well have to wait until it. Thank you maam. Wait until we change the rules. Youll never have it. Shame on you. Im here to speak on behalf of. Stop crime action. My name is frank noto. Id like the first speaker. I want to comment on proposition e on the ballot, which intends to limit the powers of the Police Commission, but also allow for common sense changes to allow the Police Department to safely pursue criminals and reduce crime. I would ask that the Police Commission take no action on topics that might be impacted by proposition e, either today or at future meetings. Dont try to do an end run around the voters of San Francisco. Um, commissioner, uh, if i could possibly have your attention. Um, thank you. Um, this is still a democracy, regardless of what some of Donald Trumps supporters may want to accomplish. And the power resides in the people. And here power resides in the voters of San Francisco. Now lets talk about traffic. San francisco Traffic Enforcement has already declined precipitously as you can see from the San FranciscoPolice Department quarterly activity and data report, total traffic stops have declined almost 80 from 102,000in 2019, down to something around 17,020 23. Um, thats a almost 80. Is it any wonder that the public has lost confidence in the Police Commission . Um. That is certainly the decline in starts is certainly a factor in crimes and traffic accidents in San Francisco. Um we support banning bias stops. We have not objected to banning pretext stops, but we oppose stopping enforcement of traffic laws. Thank you. All right. Before i get started, let me make sure this is ready. Im ready. Hi. My name is Michael Petrelis, and i am going to show a video, uh, that i obtained by filing a public records request. This shows a burglary in progress outside a gay bar in the Castro District in september of last year. Um, supervisor Raphael Mandelman had this videotape. For months, and he did not release it. And i am greatly concerned that, um, the public should have seen this video. Um as the supervisor obtained it back in september and. And, uh, it raises a lot of questions. What we see in this video, which was, um, part of an nbc bay area news story last week. I i, um, really think that there needs to be okay, back to me sf gov tv. Um, i think there really needs to be questions asked of the supervisor for why he, um, uh, held on to this video for months and didnt share it with the public. Um, the public records request that i filed showed that, um, the supervisor shared this video with commissioner cindy elias at a meeting in january three. Uh, a question why . Why . Um, the president of the Police Commission didnt put this video out when she had access to it. There really needs to be accountability of mandelman for holding on to this tape for so long. Um, i dont see that the, um, burglary in progress is on your agenda today. I hope that the chief will discuss it in his report. I think it is vital to the discussion about Community Policing that everyone have, um, access to this videotape. Thank you. Good evening. Commissioners always good to see you, chief scott. And it feels great to be back. My name is j connor b ortega. And while im not here as a candidate, i am here as a very concerned resident, as always, i want to thank our men and women of the San FranciscoPolice Department for all the work they do to truly San Francisco, and i would not be safe without them. However, this evening there will be very big topics concerning the restrictions that this commission will decide and whether or not to place on sfpd, which is why i want to take this time to say that any more restrictions you think are approving can be always undone. Last year i warned this commission that if it did not cease its campaign to destroy sfpd, we are going to see Ballot Initiatives like prop e, which im very confident will pass where we San Francisco stands on the side of officers, not bureaucrat officials. Remember that when you vote in favor of to remove, pretext stops this evening. Now, before i finish, it would not be fair to Jennifer Friedenbach if i only called on her to resign for conflict of interests to her commission seat. But a letter that d. A. Jenkins named in the last, uh, previous Police Commission named commissioner president eliass husband an attorney who makes money suing sfpd, is involved in the situation between dpa and the da. So i am officially calling on president elias to resign due to a major conflict of interest. Thank you. Its been a while. Uh, but you called me back. Otherwise i wouldnt be here. So. Because i see no progress. Yeah i look so forget from above now. Okay, so there is nowhere to hide. Nowhere you cant hide. You have to pay for what you do. We dont care who you are or where you come from. We dont care. The skies dont care. The only thing that matters is what you do. So you have to pay for what you do. No matter what. This year is about paying. Are you going to do . Are you going to pay . How do you decide to pay . So im going to tell you how, because one of the biggest problems we are dealing with is technology. The degradation of San Francisco coincide exactly with technology. In the last 30 years. Thats where we are now. We are stuck. So one of the way to pay is to try to get rid of this technology. You see, as much as possible, it looks like a its easy to do. You can do it. Its addictive. I know its a problem, but thats exactly the problem. Its addictive. Thats how you are controlled now you are stuck, but you have to pay. Im paying too. For what . I have to tell you here. Its hard for me to do it. Im paying, but im happy to pay. You see, its another way. By pay to pay. But you cant lie anymore. Thats the problem. You see, you have to use beauty. The concept of beauty. You cant fake it. It doesnt work. Ill be back. Good evening. Id like to use the overhead. Um. I as i come here each time im talking about my son, aubrey aberra kassa, who was murdered august 14th, 2006. To this day, as cases unsolved, i, i, i clam up on poles and everything to put these posters up every day to get them tore down in my neighborhood.

You know, and theres no statute of limitation for murder. So ive been asking about a venue to put up to get something permanent there for at the bus stops, clear channel, wherever to solve these unsolved homicides.
