it's one of whom and hassle me before walking home and said queer faggot, we're gonna beat the shift out of you, something that effect we're gonna kill you? I started running as fast as I could. Got up in the middle of the street. They knocked me

00:00:15.670 - 00:00:33.490

down and started beating you with their hands and their feet, their elbows try to muffle my screams. I've been into it. I thought I was fending off the blows fairly well managed to break a cheekbone and about that time I said you really are a brave

00:00:33.490 - 00:00:52.090

bunch. And he turned, just at that point, I heard someone else say that's okay, I'll get him. He threw what I think was a spark plug wrench that hit my above my eye and there was a deep cut. So we've been talking about gay teachers lifestyle

00:00:52.090 - 00:01:09.580

curriculum and gay matrimony lately. But the big issue in the gay community is as simple as law and order. Gay people are simply afraid to walk the streets at night, beatings are an everyday occurrence here in the castro neighborhood. Now, what exactly happened the night of

beat me up because I was gay. Thank you. So we're going to probably be able, that's that I know will come across as soon as we get our walkie talkies, we'll be out on the streets. What is, what is going on? What do you

00:02:08.860 - 00:02:23.290

see is going on in the mission? What are you gonna do about it? Okay. Right now what we have muse are very angry and the gay community is very angry and what we need to do is come together with some type of communication, build some type

00:02:23.290 - 00:02:49.340

of communication with both groups, youth and gay and bring out issues that we need, we need education. I need to know about what in san Francisco and that I had a funny incident, my name went out over a wire service one time over. Not that I

00:02:49.340 - 00:03:08.950

know of additional patrols to the area. We have some additional manpower available at this time and I've assigned additional patrols, some civilian clothes, someone foot in uniform and an extra marked car to the area. Hmm. No, I was born in France. Keep the people that come

00:03:08.950 - 00:03:11.950

in there to harass gay people to a minimum
