Sup. Molina, chair: Sir, your name is?
David crowley: My name is dave crowley.
Sup. Molina, chair: Oh please, go ahead.
David crowley: I'd like to thank the supervisors for allowing me to speak today. I'm speaking on behalf of the shaw family who should not have had to go through this tragedy in the first place.
This person was paroled erroneously. He was put back out on the streets and then he killed jamiel shaw with a gun that he stole or bought on the streets.
It doesn't matter. He still bought it. He still got it. I am ashamed that nobody here has done anything about it. I'm ashamed that the city has not done anything about it, that the county has not done anything about it, and most importantly the state has not done anything about it.
I am ashamed that you call yourselves legislators, especially you since it took place in your district, mr. Ridley-thomas.
No person who has promised support has ever gotten behind this law and it's time that somebody could.
I am running for congress and if i get into congress, i will get this taken care of.
Thank you very much.
Sup. Molina, chair: Thank you, sir. All right.
