The San Francisco Police Commission met on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, to hear public testimony, receive departmental reports, and vote on revised general orders. The meeting covered the consent calendar, the Chief's crime trends report, the DPA Director's quarterly report, the adoption of several revised Department General Orders, and a closed session followed by a disclosure vote.
Why is it that no commissioner on this board commented or inquired into SFPD lying about when officers issued dispersal orders at Stutt Alley when I have brought this to your attention at every commission meeting since this information became public? Why do we still not know how many officers were present during that 22-minute active enforcement window at Transmarch? How can a dead ankle monitor escalate into Edwin Michael Adams, a father, being killed by being tackled into a bus stop? How can the department this commission overseas so casually claim that the vile assault of Kevon Gibson was within the bounds of reasonable force? Is there such a deficit in reasonable policy in this department, let alone the city's governance, that these acts of grave brutality can stand? We all heard speakers last week talk about how a police force is only as effective as the trust community's place in it. How does the exponential expansion of surveillance programs, not to mention passing that miserable DGO last week, curtail the potential for abuse or foster any sense of trust in either SFPD or its oversight committee? Well, I understand that the Board of Supervisors still needs to vote to enact this DGO. The fact that only one person on this board voted against this measure speaks to either bureaucratic impotence or an eagerness to legalize and sanction abuses by the very department this commission is supposed to monitor. Um I wanted to play this video again. I need the other part of it. So if you can help me, what do I do? Just put the mic down here, or are you gonna turn it up? You don't need to put the mic down. You don't once you hit play, it'll you'll hear the sound. So just do it now. Yes. My baby. My son's there as lifeless. These are the other unsolved homicides. Since 2004, San Francisco has experienced an unprecedented number of homicides. This is our documentary, and I'm only showing three minutes of it. Just showing what mothers and fathers had to go through marching for their children and trying to get justice. Living in neighborhoods of scarcity and neglect, must deal with their personal tragedies while at the same time facing the crime and violence of the unsafe neighborhoods that surround them every day. I'll show the other half later. Thank you. Good evening. Thank you for letting me address the committee. I have been a resident in the city for 20 years, 17 years in the exact same location. I live below the castro at church and market. I had no problems up until five or six years ago. I then was arrested illegally three times, 5150 four times illegally. I have a letter from Mr. Henderson that is basically a falsified government document. I would have liked to have been much better prepared, but I heard you're going to be here tonight, sir. I thought I would come down. You have an employee by the name of Ellen Delees. I've had a case open for 1,100 days. I have seven different cases. I have all the records. I will probably be back. I'm a little nervous. I have sent the receipts for what Ms. Cahill had alleged for Mr. Henderson to the mayor first. He denied
