00:00:00.740 - 00:00:13.570

for right now to handle let alone getting into situations where people are killed like like Mr cells are in Los Angeles, people are hurt not only civilians but policemen, we don't need that kind of thing in san Francisco. I feel that I'm acting responsibly for the

00:00:13.570 - 00:00:31.810

entire city and I happen to try to keep peace in our community and try to do my job as best I can and as for good relations here in san Francisco between the community and the police, the supervisor Gonzalez think it was the radicals who beat

00:00:31.810 - 00:00:51.400

the two boys so badly that they died in police custody. Does he think that it was the radicals who went on the on a rampage? No, it was a tactical squad in 1968 that indiscriminately assaulted in innocent, teach teenagers. It was radical. It was not the

00:00:51.400 - 00:01:13.530

radicals who beat up the Alcazar family, it was the police just last thanksgiving and they shot one of the boys put it this way, I think I'm gonna step with Mr Ramirez. There's no question, but I have a greater responsibility than he does. He can sit

00:01:13.530 - 00:01:27.750

there and a little desk and the personal assistant all he wants, he can say whatever he wants as an individual. I happen to have public office, I have responsibilities that are greater than Mr Ramirez is I feel that I have to give service not only to

00:01:27.750 - 00:01:41.910

the spanish speaking community, but the entire community of SAn Francisco. Everyone that lives in the city if he feels that I'm out of step and maybe some people do, they will have an opportunity next november uh to cast their ballots. I feel that I'm doing the

00:01:41.910 - 00:01:53.260

job that I have to do. I feel that what I said yesterday is a manner of keeping things cool in san Francisco we don't need any more problems, we've got enough problems as it is now. The spanish speaking community probably has more problems in the black

00:01:53.540 - 00:02:12.990

of Underemployment under education, low income, you name it, we got it providing Gonzalez's statement, does a disservice to the chief governor. Latino communities both here and in Los Angeles as the elected president of the san Francisco chapter of the mexican american political Association. I repudiate this

00:02:12.990 - 00:02:29.720

statement. He has lost touch with reality and if he thinks that it takes a so called outside group to scare us up, he was very wrong. The only group that routinely incites riots in our community is the police department. It was the police, not the radicals

00:02:29.720 - 00:02:45.650

who incited the trouble in Los Angeles by making an unprovoked attack upon the peaceful chicano moratorium march. If Mayor Alioto had bothered to ask the community for advice before he appointed his own man to the board of supervisors, he would have heard our community say to

00:02:45.650 - 00:02:51.560

hell with the establishment, we know who are oppressing us instead of saying to hell with those who are trying to help us
