NO CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - SHOULD BE VILIFIED FOR SPEAKING HIS OR HER MIND - STANDING UP FOR WHAT MAKES SENSE - MORE IF THE THOUGHT OR ACTION - ADVERSELY CAUSES NO ONE HARM - BODILY OR OTHERWISE.

COLIN KAEPERNICK

MILLIONS SUPPORT YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Colin Kaepernick a person of color - raised by a White family - that gave him all the love he need - and the support to do - what he wanted - has experienced  " racial discrimination " - from the days when he was young - to the present.

So, when he decided to stand strong - and sit down - and NOT stand up while the National Anthem was played - he did everything that was within his right - as a citizen of the United States of America.

Some bring in the flag - and if this was some true - holier than thou  symbol - that many associate with patriotism.

When one gets to the bottom of the totem pole - the fact that Betsy Ross made the First American Flag - falls flat on its face.

The flag made its appearance in 1777 - but there is no one fact - no empirical data that points in the direction of Betsy Ross (then known as Elizabeth Claypoole) made or designed an American Flag. 

From the very beginning - our American Flag's history is clouded - and still remains - to be vague - when it comes to facts.

There is no Federal Law, no executive order, no resolution - providing an official reason to fly a flag.

On September 13, 1988 the pledge of Allegiance was recited on the floor of the House of Representatives. The Senate  began reciting the pledge since June 24, 1999.

It was only since 1989 - when the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that burning the flag is a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment.

It was challenged and wound up at the Supreme Court - again essentially affirming and stating that any law banning flag burning VIOLATED free speech.

The National Flag Conference held in Washington DC in 1923 - created laws about how the flag could not be used on merchandise and so on -  this code is there but never enforced.

When Colin Kaepernick said " I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that opposes Black people and people of color  " - he spoke for millions all over this world.

This one powerful statement - hovers in the mind of millions - who are discriminated - just because of the color of their skin.

Yet those that can stand up and make a statement - criticizing Colin Kaepernick - have failed to stand up and boldly proclaim - how they feel about the on going injustice in our Nation today -  they act as hypocrites - they go with the flow - they are slow in their reasoning and have no real facts - to back them up.

Simply put they are NOT educated on issues.

Few athletes - professional players from varied sports - be it baseball, basketball, football, other sports - are on a par as did the late - Muhammad Ali .

Also - Tommie Smith and John Carlos with that famous fist sign - at the Summer Games in Mexico - in 1968.

While many ignorant people - who have little knowledge about the flag and still less about the " pledge of Allegiance " believe what they believe.

Truly speaking - they have NO clue - about our First Amendment Rights - that allow any American Citizen - to sit down and not stand up - while the " pledge of Allegiance " is sung or recited.

On another level this article is about the role of the " rogue San Francisco Police Association " that is trying to intimidate us with their racist way of thinking.

Amply expressed in the famous - " text scandal " incorporated in the recent Blue Ribbon document - addressing Racial discrimination, murders of mostly people of color - and the shoot first and ask questions later - sick - mentality.

For the San Francisco Police Officers' Association to come out and condemn Colin Kaepernick is even worse.

The SF Police Officers' Association - has yet to apologize - for the " text scandal " - calling Blacks all sorts of names - comparing them to animals - boldly stating they can be murdered as animals - and worse.

For those of you that truly care - many gathered in solidarity in front of the San Francisco - Police Officers' Association - to support Colin Kaepernick:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/franciscodacosta/28750265323/in/album-72157673275943045/

Many gathered today before the SF Police Officers' Association office - at 850 Bryant - at a Press Conference - and  the astute speakers - stated boldly - that millions support Colin Kaepernick - the 49ers Quarterback - who we hope - will do well - play well - and continue to stand for true - justice.

Today we have many Blacks and people of color - who are afraid to stand up for our rights. 

Blacks  have always fought for this country - even from the days of slavery - when they had NO - rights.

You may be astonished to know to first person to die in many of the wars started - were Blacks.

From before the Civil war to the recent wars our Nation has been involved in - Blacks have participated - and among the many casualties and deaths - Blacks have paid their dues - in an extraordinary - manner.

The flag is a symbol - and many symbols are just that - our First Amendment Rights - go deeper.

 Many ignorant people and those not educated on issues - superficially - go with the flow.

Listen to the Main Media  - listen to other idiots who blow their trumpets  -  believe statements - that have no foundation to be true.

Colin Kaepernick is only 28 years - and he may have not fully understood - that by sitting down when the National Anthem was played .

Colin Kaepernick - stood for what he believed - but he also stood for millions of people all over this Nation - that are discriminated.

Many Whites fail to comprehend that this land was stolen. 

Here in California we do not have one single - legal document that states - the United States bought this land from the Native Americans - a document bearing the signature of the Native Americans.

Some 18 treaties signed by the United States Government - assured some payment to the Native American and millions of acres of land - these 18 treaties - were never - ratified.

We people of color - fully understand - who speak with a fork tongue. In the year 2016 - it is a shame - what we are witnessing.

The disparity between the filthy rich and the poor in San Francisco - is lower than that of Rwanda - a very poor nation in Central Africa.

Up until 1924 any one who was White could kill a Native American and fetch a measly $5 for a scalp. Remnants of that  mentality still persists in many quarters.

It would be wrong to generalize - many Whites have stood for what is right - continue to stand shoulder to shoulder - with those that are discriminated. God bless them.

Edicts - went out from the Governors in Sacramento and elsewhere - to go kill the Native Americans - then called Indians - and get your reward - a measly $5.

Native American children - were captured and sent to boarding schools - deprived from speaking their language - shame on those that fail to comprehend the deep hatred and blatant discrimination - prevalent even today.

Over a thousand times - I have had to step up - and explain to San Francisco Police Officers - who I happen to know - to speak on behalf of some youth - mostly Black - who I knew - to vouch for them.

Had I not been there - many would be taken to jail - kept there - sometimes their parents informed - if the parent was a single mother - then you know what happens - it could take two, three, even weeks before a young men or women is released.

Some times I had to go - to the now Youth Guidance Center - or to 850 Bryant - it would be amazing to find out the charges meted out to the victims.

If one had to come out with the bail money - for sure the single mother - or even the poor family - did not have the money - ten percent or whatever of the bail. Who do you think - came out with the bail money?

Most Whites have no clue - that when a Black mother and father send their children to school, to the store - even to Church - there is one lingering thought - hope they come home safe - hope they come home alive.

This is the year 2016 - with all the talk about " cultural competency " - " explicit biases " - respecting one another - which is a cliche - and the many other ploys, machinations, and shenanigans - that is happening - right here in San Francisco - many of us are shocked and astounded - as to what is happen to our Nation.

I have known the SF Police  Command Groups - going back under the last 8 San Francisco Police Chiefs.

I knew the last Police Chief - Gregory Suhr very well and know this Chief Toney Chaplin - it is one thing knowing the Chiefs and the Command Staff - it is another dealing with the - SF Rogue Police Officers.

The SF Police Officers' Association is taking on the public at large - much like it has taken one page advertisement - costing thousands of dollars -  on the day chosen as Mario Woods Day - please do your job - and do  it right.

Just remember we the tax payers pay your salary - and we do not feel you deserve a Day of Remembrance - as long as many of you are behaving as " rogue SF Police Officers " - more earning your salary here in San Francisco - while residing in far off places.

We have about 2000 SF Police Officers - and about 300 SF Police Officers that belong to the SF Police Officers' Association - they are not  a UNION - they could be termed - because of their prevalent actions and behavior - as " thugs ".

Most of them do not live in San Francisco - they think they can do as they please.

There is freedom and there is license - abuse of freedom is license.

Stop bulling the public - and put a STOP to your nonsense - now.

There is no second or third way - to cure a bad apple - you must get rid of it - or the entire barrel of apples - will be rotten. Aho.

OUR SF LEADERSHIP IS HEADING TOWARDS A " CESSPOOL " OF THEIR OWN MAKING - THE CONGESTION ON OUR STREETS, THE EXPANDING HOMELESSNESS, THE TRUANCY AMONG OUR YOUTH - DISDAIN FOR OUR MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED - LACK OF COMPASSION FOR OUR SENIORS - WHO WE MUST SUPPORT IN THEIR GOLDEN YEARS.

Our Seniors must be treated with respect.

We support our Seniors and will stand by them.

Presenting Patrick Monk - a stellar Senior and Citizen.

Our beloved Seniors - those that have worked so hard - those who we must respect, honor, and have love and  compassion - are tired - being treated with disdain - by these City and County of San Francisco.

It does not matter we have a Commission for the Aged - at this particular Commission - there is a lot of talk and less concrete action.

 The Municipal Transportation Agency - keeps bothering Seniors - paying no attention that Seniors cannot walk long distances - when arbitrarily MUNI bus stops are eliminated.

It is the same for the mentally and physically challenged - the Federal Government provides millions to the local government - and again and again - there is NO entity - that monitors - the above adverse impacts and issues.

Loretta Lynch - U.S. Attorney General -

fast asleep at the cockpit - failing to address -

blatant discrimination in San Francisco.

Time for the U.S. Attorney General to step in and monitor the racial basis, the blatant discrimination across the board - when it comes to all Seniors - and the abject disdain and action - when it comes to listening to the pleas - and quick action - linked to those that most need - help.

GOOGLE buses still occupy our MUNI bus stops - and in defiance force MUNI buses to double park in the middle of the street.

Forcing the blind, the seniors, and those with  challenged issues - risk their lives to board a bus. What is happening to our City and County of San Francisco?

In the interim millions are spent on Women's Conferences - where speakers are invited from New York and the East Coast - speakers who have NO idea - about how we live on the West Coast -  more in San Francisco  - and most of them lack - cultural competency.

Mayor Edwin M. Lee - 

a disgrace to the human race -

adversely impacting those that need help most.

Our Mayor Edwin M. Lee - talks from both sides of this mouth. There is NOT a single - sane person, more a leader that respects Mayor Edwin M. Lee - in San Francisco.

Rose Park wants to teach 

Mayor Edwin M. Lee a lesson or two -

one opening Stockton Street leading to China Town -

now closed for nearly - two years.

Even Rose Park who put him there in the first place - wants to teach him a lesson or two/

Again and again Mayor Edwin M. Lee talks about " shared equity " - talk is cheap.

Today the disparity that reigns in San Francisco - is below the disparity that is found in Rwanda, a small Third World Nation - in Central Africa.

The education in our once great City and  County of San Francisco - more public education - is sinking - the leadership at the SF Unified School District - abject - folks like Shamman Walton - dabbling with Lennar Urban - taking bribes - and seeking to move up the political ladder - for worse.

It does not help that Richard Carranza is jumping ship and  is heading elsewhere - as Superintendent of the SF Unified School District - he has played his game with SalesForce and other entities - talking the talk and failing to walk the walk.

Again and again the mentally and physically challenged - are put in what is termed " Special Education Classes " - given minimal supervision - and the education imparted to these students - is despicable to say the least.

There have been substantial cases - some documented - other cases pushed under the rug - children from some of our middle schools - from the SF Unified School District - trying to jump from a second floor classroom.

Children having needs - deprived - going to the restroom - and others kept in seclusion for a long time - all this happening in San Francisco.

The SF Unified School District - receives its funding from the State of California - and our SF Unified School District - does a poor job managing its fiscal resources.

Again and again - the SF Unified School District taps into the SF City and County General Fund - the " Rainy Day Fund " - set aside to aid the SF Unified School District.

This habit has penalized our generosity of the San Francisco - tax payers - we have compassion -  we should not be taken for a wild ride.

Some of our SF Board of Supervisors - should call for a hearing - we want to know - how our tax money is spent .

More - Summer Time - where the SF Public Utilities Commission - has been dipping into Community Benefit Funds - linked to the Sewer System Improvement Project - some $300 million.

Handpicked corrupt  folks from SF Public Utilities Commission - under one Juliet Ellis  - using these money to provide stipends - during Summer - for Summer Jobs - that the SF City and County purports to do some good - when the opposite is true.

More - under the direction of Mayor Edwin M. Lee.

These temporary ploys and machinations - do not lead to concrete - " CAREER JOBS ". 

These gimmicks must stop - and an open audit is called for - on all the thousands of dollars spent from the Community Benefits - linked to the Sewer System and Improvement Project (SSIP).

A project - that has been stalled - linked to " digesters " a $2.6 billion project -  part of the SSIP - in many other areas - of that - urgent project - SSIP - funded with Bond money - San Francisco - tax payers money - to STOP the on going STENCH in the Bayview and bordering areas.

Plans are afoot to make drastic changes at 1800 Oakdale - the Southeast Community Facility Commission Building - emphasis on COMMUNITY. The Community kept in the dark - who is fooling whom?

Plans are afoot to build a campus on Evans and Third Street - the Blue Prints are discussed - in a small circle - again Juliet Ellis who has no experience - less knows what she is doing - is pushing to waste the $300 million - half set aside for Work Force development and half for Out reach. 

We are forced to be invited to taste Jamaican Jerky - we want the corrupt out - now. You are put on notice - move before you are put on trial again.

Juliet Ellis adjudicated on charges - by the Fair Political Action Committee and the SF Ethics Commission - for illegally  moving $200, 000 to Green For All - from the Community Benefits fund - some $300 million - set aside for our community in San Francisco.

Our City and County of San Francisco seems to pay NO attention to corruption - and those who with INTENT - break the law.

Juliet Ellis - paid a fine and returned the money - but has firmly returned to the old, sordid, and evil ways - wasting money and taking " kudos " for mundane and trivial projects.

Harassing mostly men - who do not want to be micro- managed - more by someone who has no clue what she is doing - again and again some of us are forced to shame her in public.

Money - given to corrupt folks that do not have anything much to do with the community at large - more the Bayview Hunters Point Community that matters.

The on going pervasive stench that can be smelled miles away - a
disgrace when visitors and others shop at the Evans Shopping Center at Third and Evan Street.

The foul smell saturating the area around the newly improved Produce Market - more the stench adversely impacting a radius of three miles - a strong sulphur stench - adversely impacting the eyes and throat and this nonsense that being going on for the last 50 years - as more sewage is sent to the Treatment Center on Phleps Street in the Bayview.

Those adversely impacted feel like vomiting - our infants, our children, our youth, our young adults, our seniors, those with compromised health - all bearing these adverse impacts - while Juliet Ellis is pussyfooting around.

At Third and Cargo Way there is a Wellness Centers - our infants, children, youth go there - and it stinks to high heaven. Malia Cohen the District 10 Supervisor - picked this stinking location - just because her campaign coffers were filled. Time will tell.

Malia Cohen - the crooked and corrupt -

District 10 Supervisor - filling there campaign coffers -

in bed with Lennar Urban - a rogue developer.

The District Supervisor Malia Cohen - who is pussyfooting is now on - an undeserved vacation -  bidding her time - to jump ship and seek - some other position - where she can rake in the dollars - as she is termed out. Good riddance of very bad rubbish.

Malia Cohen has sold out the community - now - deeply entrenched with the ploys and machinations - of Lennar Urban and Proposition " O " - that wants to amend Proposition " M " - voted and passed by the voters - all over San Francisco - that put a cap on Office Space - citywide.

Right now all the analysis points to a " tanking " of Office Space  citywide - and here is Lennar Urban using Sophie Maxwell, Shamman Walton, and Veronica Hunnicutt - three sell outs - trying to help Lennar Urban a rogue developer - attack Proposition M - passed by the voters to make room for Proposition " O " that just caters to the evil needs of Lennar Urban - a rogue developer.

More - to make amendments to Proposition M - to cater to the evil needs of Lennar Urban - requesting millions of square feet for its projects - 5 million square feet over some years.

Office Space  built on land that is prone to severe liquefaction, flooding and contaminated - with high level readings of Radiological Elements - cesium, radium, and other high level reading mercury, lead, and other contaminants all documented recently - from soil, air, and water tests.

The Muwekma Ohlone -

the First People of San Francisco.

This is Ohlone land - more Muwekma Ohlone Land and I represent the Muwekma Ohlone on matters pertaining to SF Planning,  Land Use,  Infrastructure,.

Transportation, Schools, Child care, Senior Living, Safety and a whole number of pertinent issues - that this City and County has failed to deliver - and attain standards - to address Quality of Life issues - impacting all San Franciscans.

This City and County is put on notice - more those who advise the Mayor Edwin M. Lee.

Daily, we see the many adverse impacts that impact our poor - living in tents - good people forced out - because of very, very high rents. Greed know no bounds - and this City is full of it.

We once were known for our compassion and embracing those that needed help - no more.

 Greedy folks headed by Mayor Edwin M. Lee - has been working with corrupt and evil folks - to prey on those that cannot defend themselves - no more. 

God sees it all - and we still have many good people who are vigilant. It is not as if - we cannot rally thousands and do what is aim to do - with our rights - and full aware of law and order . We can and we will. 

This land all of it as stolen - every square inch - there is NOT one single document - more a legal document - that has the signature of the Muwekma Ohlone - giving this land on a platter - all of it - to the greedy, the strangers, and those who are full of it. Aho.

TODAY IS THE LAST MEETING TO GIVE YOUR OPINION - WHAT YOU AS A CITIZEN AND TAX PAYER - DESIRE MOST IN YOUR NEXT POLICE CHIEF - MORE THE POLICIES SHE OR HE ASPIRES TO MAKE SAN FRANCISCO SAFE AND CONTRIBUTE TO QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.

Mayor Edwin M. Lee has no clue about " de-escalation " - even less about " the dangers of pollution and congestion ".

When it comes to the selection - of our next Chief of Police - Mayor Edwin M. Lee - is using lackeys.

 Paying these hand picked lackeys - $50, 000 to conduct 6 meetings - the last will be held today - at Saint Mary's Catholic Cathedral - from 6 pm to 8 pm - SF Geary and Grove. Muni bus 38 takes you right to the door.

This entire selection has been a mess - again and again - those attending are treated like " children ".

 Some forms given - some pointers - most totally out of sync with reality.

Those participants - have been treated like small children - more,  to side track the real issues - and point in a direction - that is totally not in sync - with the reality -  that really is happening in our neighborhoods.

Any Police Chief - has to address the ever increasing homelessness now growing by leaps and bounds in our neighborhoods.

The ever increasing congestion on our streets - stressing people - often leading to people attacking and abusing one another.

The high cost of living and the many side affects - that have sent - thousands of San Franciscans - that contributed so much - out of our City.

Families leaving - making San Francisco a City with less children - and taking away the many good qualities and aspirations that we have treasured - all these many years.

Seniors our mentally and physically constituents treated with disdain - linked to good transportation, education, jobs, and of course their safety.

If one reads the report that has been produced by the recent Blue Ribbon Panel and  the volunteer contribution made by many astute attorneys and institutions  - we clearly see - a huge problem with the Police Officers Association (POA) - some 300 plus individuals that are trying to subvert and created - pandemonium.

The text message - containing disparaging remarks made by some rogue SF Police Officers - that the Blue Ribbon Panel has incorporated into the report - gives one an idea - how dysfunctional the entire SF Police Department has become.

This and more - defeating the hard work - the sincere intentions of those SF Police Officers - and there are many that I know - that want to do good and many have sacrificed against great odds - to stand for what is right - and their stress level has reached -  a saturation point.

Our current SF Police Commission with drab individuals like Joe Marshal - who talks from both sides of his mouth - and has NO clue how the general public feels about the current situation linked to SAFETY in our City. Joe Marshal is not respected and must step down - all he does is rubber stamp and he is on the take.

The current SF Police Commission is dysfunctional - and again and again the public has stated this significant fact - to the faces on the SF Police Commissioners.

 Most of them - far removed from the reality that is happening at ground zero - hold tight to their appointments - for personal reasons. Pathetic.

I have know the last 8 Command Groups - the members that matter and with them the last 8 Police Chiefs - very well.

We the public cannot address the SAFETY of our community by using " primitive methods ".

In the last five years we have seen our SF Police Officers lacking the tools to communicate - be it their radios or their lap tops.

Not too long ago - the Incident Reports were done manually.

It is just in the last three years - and there is some semblance and all this and more - has been the result of hard work from the last two Police Chiefs .

Of course - the lay person and those that bark up the wrong tree - have no clue - about the process, the operations - and the sound bench marks needed - to lead and maintain law and order.

We once had the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice - no more.

Now the Mayor's Office receives millions - and out sources - programs that are lead by private entities - not fully trained to understand and less issues at hand.

More and more all Police Officers - all over the Nation - have chosen - to introduce para-military tactics. 

Our President Barack Hussein Obama - our United States Attorney Loretta Lynch - our local District Attorney, our Senator Diane Feinstein, our Congressperson Nancy Pelosi - all have failed San Francisco - to speak on this issue - many of them tongue in cheek - making excuses.

The para-military tactics - have introduce the mentality that the public is an enemy - and not look upon as a citizen that must be protected and help.

Much like in battle - the many wars - where our soldiers go the fight - many return and are recruited by Police Chiefs - all over the Nation to - carry out and practice para-military tactics.

This tactics work on the battle field - but not in our towns and cities - and this one glaring aspects and its many consequences - have not been evaluated in depth.

Our SF Police Officers are trained arbitrarily to see the kill and act as if they are in dire straits and must step back - evaluate and eliminate - what they are told - according to their orders received and out dated manuals - an impediment - to the situation at hand.

This  concept and idea that they are serving and protecting the citizen - whose life matters -  that the tax payer is footing the salary of the police officers and all his training.

 Other amenities that cost the tax payers - millions of dollars - more over one million if not two million - for a SF Police Officer - who has a 10 year service record - not including his salary and over time, health and other essential - benefits.

The Bayview Hunters Point - introduced to our City and County of San Francisco - in the early 1960s - the Human Rights Committee - that today is known as the Human Right Commission.

The Bayview Hunters Point - took into account - and fought to reduce the " height limits " - linked to those Police Candidates who wanted to join the SF Police Department.

 This one singular fact brought in former Chief Lau and others - and to this day - few know about this contribution and other stellar contributions - by the Bayview Hunters Point community.

When a significant number of mostly Blacks are murdered in the  Bayview Hunters Point - and nothing is mentioned about this fact - the other contributions - as part of the selection and discussion at hand - something essential is missing - that makes these " dog and pony meetings " mundane.

When trivial and mundane pointers - are introduce - to defy those with intelligence and you have  sell outs like Sheryl Davis and Amos Brown - backing those that came out with these six meetings - even though we have 11 Supervisorial Districts and Police Precincts - such outreach done so hastily - begs the question.

No where in the many trivial discussions - is the mention made of gentrification and how innocent people are forced out - because San Francisco is becoming so expensive.

It is not safe to travel on our Muni buses - and the Ambassadors with their Yellow Jackets - are often wasting their time at eating places - making small talk.

Often called and  pulled out from their assigned duty - and told to do the work of Safety Officers - at the SF Unified and other schools - directing traffic and helping to board children on SF MUNI buses.

Crime has increased in San Francisco - more home break-ins, car break ins, assaults, domestic violence, other nuisances that the Mayor Edwin M. Lee and this lackeys - do not give a damn about.

Our Judicial System is failing us all - the chronic back log in the Courts.

Added - the very corrupt Judges that will postpone cases - the victim spending a lot of money - only to deal with more " grief " and become despondent.

Senator Diane Feinstein has not sad a word - when it comes to the murders - on the streets of San Francisco - that have been committed by some rogue SF Police Officers.

 The same hold good when come rogue SF Police Officers - shoot first and ask questions later. This hold good of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi - those so called Representatives that we must visit - who are pussyfooting in Sacramento.

At the last count we had 15 candidates trying to vie for the position to become the next Chief of Police - for the City and County of San Francisco.

Right at the onset of these meetings - to help select the next Chief of Police of San Francisco - the six meetings that were proposed - a brief description - on each candidate - would have given us all - who participated in some of the meetings - the strengths and what ever - of the individuals - who are aspiring to this - position.

We got none of that - most did not know - how many candidates were vying for this position. Why?

Those who live and pay their taxes in San Francisco - want to know - as and when - we deem to participate - we want the best candidate to be the next - Chief of Police. 

Who and what are we dealing with.

What has happened - a small group - is pushing for their hidden agenda - and when you include Amos Brown, the many mostly Black sell outs - who will agree to rubber stamp - this small group has caused a lot of damage -  we have seen this happen - again and again.

Anyone who pushed for Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) to interview people - create large documents - and try to pacify San Franciscans - must be held accountable.

The acronym COPS is deceiving.

COPS consists of private consultants - who are paid well - travel all over the Nation - who have NO power to adjudicate and less to investigate.

What COPS. are good at doing is writing reports - all over the Nation - these reports - are collecting dust on shelves - and they are part of the Department of Justice.

10 years ago had the Department of Justice sent us a team - to investigate Racial Discrimination - address Civil Rights issues - much of the nonsense - we are experiencing today - would not have existed.

At the last 5 meeting to select a Chief of Police for San Francisco - the facilitators - lacked any experience - more, to ask questions and encourage dialog - on " cultural competency ".

Factors like " Implicit Bias  " and how that impacts our judgement.

The number of SF Police Officers who live far away - many of them " red necks " - they come here -  more to earn their salary and disrespect people of color.

The role of Black Sellouts -  who rubber stamp - we have their names and have been bold to name them before and have named two this time around.

Why are so many Blacks lingering in our jails - Blacks form only 2% of our population today - yet 50% and lingering in our jails - why?

We brag that our City is booming - yet - we have hot-spots in the Western Addition, Excelsior, Bayview Hunters Point - of 40% plus unemployment.

Hand in hand with crime - goes health issues - such as contamination, pollution, more respiratory diseases.

An increased number of still child births in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco.

Lack of proper nutrition, lack of open space with facilities - sound health services - unsafe environment on our transportation system.

In our SF Unified School District the physically challenged and the mentally challenged - treated with disdain - an investigation has revealed this and more. The Safety Officers at these school not in the picture.

Single mothers forced to work and leave their children with relatives and friends - having no means to pay for child care.

 Prostitution, drug use, diseases like AIDS and STD - and a gamut of other pertinent issues - all impacting Quality of Life issues - all affecting SAFETY.

Absolutely NO meaningful dialog about Community Policing - the people matter - and they must be at the table - we want no dictation - and and no arbitrary policies. 

If this is the case - the money from the SF Police Department must be withheld - we  the people must exercise this discretion - to send a powerful message - with the help of the Budget Committee and those that are for the people and sound - representation.

The last 5 meetings to permit the public to give their opinion - was stymied and contained - by diverting the minds of the participants - to discuss and waste time - on subjects far removed from the essential discussions that benefit our neighborhoods - a slap on the face of the constituents of San Francisco.

No one can fool all the people all the time.
