This is a video of some recent actions concerning the Cammerin Boyd case. This video was aired on public access channel 29 on October 16 at 11:30 a.m.
The show is called Tranny Talk.
The police commission is faced with new challenges.
Two members are quitting, and slated demand on their schedules and the desire to relocate for their decisions. The Board of Supervisors will have to seek out and nominate two new members. The commissioners meet every Wednesday and sometimes the meetings last well into the night. They only make $85.00 dollars a month.
Mayor Gavin Newsom opposed Proposition H in 2003 which called for the revamping of the police commission and getting the Office of Citizen Complaints to follow up on reports of abuse by the SFPD.
Recent killings or murders in the city of San Francisco have created some new concerns.
Does the government in SF have a grip on crime in this city?
Does the government in SF have a grip on the police department?
Will violent crimes increase?
My opinion:
No and Yes.
Handguns are NOT killing. Assault rifles are. The Board of Supervisors would do best at figuring out where the assault rifles are coming from.
So proposition H is worthless. A handgun will suppress violence more than contribute to it.
Mayor Newsom has failed to put more police on the streets, BUT when they are patrolling they are intimidating and abusive and do NOT solve crimes but help the criminals by ignorance. In the Tenderloin anyone can see the cops just drive by. They never stop they just drive by.
Conclusion:
All the citys efforts to combat crime in SF is misdirected and superficial.
We NEED educated politicians NOT phony ones.

If they just drive by, why don't you flag them down? What are they supposed to do stop everyone on the street? Wouldn't that violate your civil rights? You don't want the police the police to harass people but now you complain when the just "drive by". You can't have it both ways. By the way...how many emmy's has tranny talk won? I thought so.
Hey, let's not get behind this Cammerin Boyd thing. There is a whole lot more to the story of what happed with him than you know. Just before the cops shot him, he tried to kidnap a sister on the street and tehn he shot his gun at people out his window while he drove around like a crazy man.
He wasn't "handicaped" -- he just had two artifical legs and he was on crank. My cousin knew him and he was bad, mad, crazy.

You know I just love it when people put down Tranny Talk. It means the show is doing it's job, BUT I got tell ya the producers are not after any emmy's. Emmys cost money. There is no money on the left.
Cammerin Boyd may have tried to kidnap his sister and had a gun and all that, BUT there are less lethal ways to combat a legless violent drug addict. Uh like arrest. A shooting is not an arrest. The Code of the West says do not shoot a person in the back, shooting a legless drug addict is basically the same cowardish act.
To the moron who put down Tranny Talk. Bring it on. The people who produce that show are educated and very highly trained to produce anything and can produce content that shows just how ignorant and sissy-fied the left wingers are.
And to the person who offered completely irrelevant response to the cops and flagging down. When a crime is in progress and the cops do get flagged down and they don't stop then what Einstein? You want us to fuckin shoot the criminals because we are more than willing to fire a gun. But we don't because it is the cops job to protect, and we are civil.
You know maybe we will stop putting content on this website.
Too many fuckin morons.
Good riddance left wingers your days are numbered.
I am joining forces with the right.

Was Tyrell Taylor a thug? The same thing happened to him. Shot down.
Yeah maybe Cammerin Boyd was a thug and violent minded yo, BUT his killing has traumatized a community. The Hunters Point or Bayview or whatever the heck it is called has been traumatized as well. Not just by the gang boys but also by the cops. The cops are supposed to be the ones who save and protect not shoot then ask questions later.
If Cammerin Boyd was such a loser then why didn't the cops bring him into custody? They're not qualified thats why.
The DA should have prosecuted him . Oh sorry what DA? SF does not have one.
The SFPD and the SJPD are only trained to shoot, not de-escalate and arrest. This has got to end if they want communities to turn in the thugs and help prevent crime.
The tide will change and your thoughts will too as soon as one of your family members or friends are shot down by the cops.
Fuck SF I am moving out.

There are less violent ways to subdue a legless violent drug addict? A guy who has a gun in his hand? If you are willing to try to arrest someone who is holding a gun in their hand without shooting him, you are more couragous than anyone in the world. Let me remind you of something...you need not have legs to fire a gun....
