I'm observing the Public Safety & Neighborhood Services Committee meeting on @SFGovTV.
We're hearing @shamannwalton with an opening statement about police violence against black people in America.
Now we hear a statement from @chesaboudin. He points to Juneteeth, a historic day, but that the work is not over. The work continues today.
The resolution is called the George Floyd Resolution.

This resolution also closes a loophole: When law enforcement leave their employment by retiring or resigning to avoid having a discipline record. Both Boudin and Walton point to Officer Chauvin who killed George Floyd and had 18 prior misconduct complaints.

Boudin also points to the lack of transparency that both the community and even his office has regarding records of prior acts of misconduct.

Oops my bad, I'm watching the Board of Supervisors' Public Safety & Neighborhood Services Committee meeting.
@SupStefani asks to be a co-sponsor of this resolution too. She says this is a "no-brainer". It's now open for public comment.Show this thread -
They missed
@Ahsha_Safai as a co-sponsor of this resolution in the Agenda, but Walton confirms he was an early supporter and sponsor. One commenter points out that though this is "no-brainer", he fears that the work won't go further than just this resolution when it needs to.Show this thread -
Another caller asks for a grandfather clause, which will apply to current officers. She points to Officer Joshua Cabillo, whom you can read more about here: https://missionlocal.org/2019/08/no-charges-for-sfpd-officer-who-shot-fleeing-man-on-a-crowded-street/ … https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/06/21/reform-advocates-seek-to-oust-sfpd-officer-involved-in-north-beach-shooting/ … https://www.facebook.com/aclu.norcal/posts/sfpd-officer-joshua-cabillo-has-a-history-of-using-force-from-the-killing-of-15-/10156409284343698/ …

Now there's a vote: Walton: Aye Safai: Aye Stefani: Aye Now I believe this resolution will either be passed onto the Board of Supervisors or the Civil Service Commission. Will keep y'all updated.
