THE TOWN HALL MEETING HELD AT TRUE HOPE CHURCH ON ARELIOUS WALKER WAY - NAMED AFTER THE PASTOR - HAD A VERY ANGRY CROWD DEMANDING ANSWERS - THE LATEST SHOOTING AND KILLING - OF AN UNARMED MAN - SHOT BY A ROOKIE SFPD COP.

The sellout pastor Arelious Walker -

has a street named after him -

his church and the entire location on which 

many buildings and homes are built - on land 

that is contaminated, more prone to liquefaction

and flooding - most people who live in the area -

suffer from chronic respiratory diseases, heart diseases,

and many women deliver " still babies " and there is more.

The pastor Arelious Walker is well known as a sellout - he is among one of the heads we call Poverty Pimp Pastors - so who ever chose that location his Church - True Hope Church  by Gilman Park - did not do their home work - well.

Pastor Arelious has links with Lennar Urban a rogue developer - his church has had members participate in nefarious activities - his son in law - told to leave his Church. Pyramid schemes that have no place - in any church.

If the meeting was arranged at the last moment - and the location chosen - for its remoteness - to stop people from attending the meeting - this did not happen. The people that came - at short notice - were angry and had much to say and did.

Those who gathered surely had much to say - and much of it was not pretty - though. They kept it real - which is what the Bayview Hunters Point, California - is know for.

The pastor Arelious Walker as usual - was spewing his diatribe - ordering people around -  the people who gathered to garner the facts - did not appreciate his haughtiness. Time will tell.

To start with the parents of man who was shot and killed - more being unarmed - on December 1, 2017 - his parents were NOT informed about this meeting -  more were not contacted until yesterday - December 7, 2017.

The Elderly father who attended the meeting - spoke softly and stated clearly he does not understand why his son was killed.

More, he is offended that no one from the San Francisco Police Department - informed his family about this meeting.

His elderly wife has cancer - she in bed - and could not attend the meeting.

This video gives you some clarity about the entire incident - the man killed was driving a stolen white van and was unarmed - his name Keita O'Neil:

Here is another report about the incident - convoluted - more when we get reports - only from one side - the POPOS:

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/12/01/police-officer-involved-shooting-san-francisco/

San Francisco Police Chief -

William Scott - was seated front and center -

at the Town Hall meeting -

and seemed deeply disturbed by this incident -

he wants full transparency and accountability -

linked to this incident - Time will Tell.

We just found out from the Main Media - that the SFPD had their body cameras off - then after shooting the single shot - to the head of Keita O'Neil - the rookie officer - turned his camera on - his Supervisor who was with him - did the same. Hypocrite.

It has been customary to hold a Town Hall meeting - to address such incidents - where some one has been murdered or killed.

Over 25 SF Police Department Officers were present - much like any para-military presence - surrounding in and out - True Hope Church - which reveals the real intent of many SF Police Department Officers - and more the prevailing - mentality. Less of " community policing " and more tactics and a mentality - closer to that of being - para-military.

No one is having a dialog about the economic disparity in the community.

Below is a photograph of the Alice Griffith Public Housing - where most youth and young adults - are left to fend for themselves - given NO opportunities - more surrounded by land, air and water - that is contaminated and polluted.

Many of youth treated with disdain - more Black youth - who then after years of abuse - and left alone to do their won thing - resort to crime - and highjacking this van with lottery tickets - was the silliest thing to do.

No one is talking about career jobs - no one is talking about helping the advocates that matter. Millions of dollars are distributed to the sell outs - many of them Back - who actively contribute to G E N T R I F I C A T I O N.

In this incident - the individuals involved highjacked a Lottery Van containing lottery tickets - and other valuables - all were recovered.

Many do not know that tickets are useless - unless the are scan and activated.

It takes four scans - to activate the lottery tickets - the final one - when the vendor sells you the ticket.

 Before that when the vendor receives the lottery ticket - before that when the distributor receives the lottery ticket.

 And even before that when the lottery tickets are printed and ready for distribution. So go figure - the lack of being educated on issues - and more about lottery tickets.

The man who was killed Keita O'Neil was unarmed - and the SF Police Department rookie officer with his supervisor both failed - both of these SF Police Department Officers - should be written up - and undergo deep training - more linked to cultural competency, implicit bias, and plain learning more about de-escalation. Techniques to disarm anyone who is not armed.

You do not shoot anyone in the head - when they are disarmed and one's life is not in harms way.

No one knows if the White Van being chased which was the vehicle Keita O'Neil was in - was stalled or moving in the final moments.

Under the circumstances - more moving vehicles - it is suspect - if the motive and intent - was used with diligence and more astuteness - as things happen in seconds.

What we know is that there were sufficient officers - to surround the White Van and take Keita O'Neil in custody - more because he was not armed.

Judging from the case - and the mentality of the SF Police Department rookie officer and his supervisor - shoot first and kill - and then ask question seem to be the case - as it is - in many other cases - we have seen before.

Again and again some at the Town Hall meeting - were outraged at the incident.

Many - barked  at the SF Police Chief - this must STOP.

A meeting is held to discuss issues - in a decent, calm,  and logical way - and should therefore not be held in a Church - or any Faith based sanctuary - as is now being made customary - by some devious entities.

In all communities more those under-served there will be disturbed people, people who are angry - who have never ever taken an anger management workshop - others who like to be shit disturbers. 

We had them all - at the Town Hall meeting - held at True Hope Church - by Gilman Park - not very far from the former Candlestick Stadium.

Every opportunity is used to divulge less - and leave the citizens wondering - what really took place - by the SF Police Department.

It is was waste of time not showing the entire video - trying to challenge us more - to imagine what happened - and creating - frustration. - and more anger.

The True Hope Church was used as a stage - much like a circus.

Complete with well orchestrated tools - a video that shows some - but left more to be seen and shown - leaving most of us - shaking our heads - and baffled - more astounded.

Chief William Scott must learn quickly not to trust those that put on such " dog and pony shows ".

 The citizens, the constituents, the  people must be told the truth and this did not happen.

Do not treat the citizens of San Francisco more the citizens of Bayview Hunters Point - with disdain.

There was not true outreach -  I informed a couple of hours before - about this meeting. 

I kept my calm - and it was not easy to listen to many - venting and some screaming and shouting - and NOT help the final outcome - to find a solution and to bring about progress in a meaningful way.

Others who do not live in San Francisco - thinking they can come and take control of the " situation ".

We must be leery of such folks - who are using the " deaths of our young Black Men " - and other youth, young adults, and adults - more men and women of color - for ulterior motives.

At some point before the meeting adjourned around 8:15 pm I left - and I hope Chief William Scott - has learned that San Francisco is a challenging place to deal with " shooting and killings ". That our citizens will fight for justice - and more we a law abiding - pay our taxes - and Quality of Life issues are being compromised.

Murders by rogue SF Police Officers - be they a small segment - tarnishing the name of Law Enforcement - who are supposed to protect the citizens - but have failed in recent months. 

Herm Lewis, Demetrius Williams, Pastor Branner, Malik, Sala, Gwen Woods, and a few others - truly comprehend - what is happening to our community - and spoke up.

While this is public meeting - and folks came from far and wide - we must always be mindful - not to allow people from outside - to make the meeting convoluted - talking about this far left of the issue - and mudding the waters.

Diana Oliva - Aroche was present - and so was Paul Herderson - I did not see Paul but I did see Diana Oliva - Aroche - and  these two must learn a lot from this incident and more from the meeting. They work for the Mayor's Office of Violence Prevention and Services and do a poor job.

The above two and wheeling and dealing - each make more than $200, 000 plus benefits - and have little to show - managing directly and indirectly - the Mayor's Office of Violence Prevention and Services. 

What Services and who provides the Services - with standards - more transparency and accountability - we do not know.

I saw a number of the Street Violence Prevention personnel - Rico, James, Guy Hudson, and from the corner of my eye - Arturo Carillo - and there may have been others - all doing what they do well.

 I hope they brief themselves - and provide " meaningful feed back " to the SF Chief of Police  - Chief Williams Scott.

In the last 5 weeks - there have been over 35 killings and shootings - in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco.

I get detail reports about the killings and reports - and I am now on top of this madness - that some think they know how to tackle - but do not have the " capability"  and less comprehension that comes from proven experience - lack the tools to deliver - more " digital tools " - that are completely left from the equation - to address - situations.

Finally - an issue that is very important to discuss - is the role of our " Black Grandmothers " - who keep saving the lives of thousands - if these " Grandmothers " did not fulfill their obligation - with little or NO money.

More of our Black children, youth, and young adults - grown Black men and women too - would die. Just a point to ponder - and address - and more to bring in the " Grandmothers " into this equation that is crying to heaven for justice.

Mayor Edwin M. Lee - has not said anything much - what would one expect from a " lap dog " - a person who lacks sound and genuine - leadership.
