Gays in the Cen­ Tral City and in the Polk Area OCTOBER 1, 1980 S 'ali 5 fraiiri‘H*n Issue 107 (Eruaaììpr 'A iLiiilit nt' llm'ìrrtìlauììimji tor All 5frr r Police!”.....■»« ^1 ir> ^ ikirx r* n I /%iiu^ \y^i "POLICE? IN THE TENDERLOIN? YOU'VE GOTTA BE KID D IN G!" Where are the cops when being are being robbed, beaten, stabbed, and murdered in the Tenderloin? Where??? Residents, merchants, and those who work in the Central City area of the Tenderloin are at the “mercy” of the hundreds of thugs, drug addicts, thieves, and murderers who have descended upon the area from the East Bay which is conducting a hard crack down on the criminal element in those towns and cities. And they come to the Central City, because it is the poorest area of the city and it is the only area where you can get a cheap room, cruddy as it may be. The San Erancisco Police Department’s only response to the drastic rise in violent crime in the Central City, is to say “We don t have enough men and women.” Really? is the response to that typical SFPD excuse for their incompetence. Eor the residents and mer­ chants of the Central City know that the SEPD has a Vice/Morals Squad that has nothing better to do than to harass gays in the Cen­ tral City and in the Polk area. Violent crime is up over two hundred percent over last year and most of these go unreported, for waiting for a police car is like wait­ ing for a turtle caravan to pass. Most people do not report violent crimes for fear of retaliation by those criminals who have assaulted 'them or robbed them. Eor the SFPD will do little or nothing about protecting the victims. The District Attorney’s Office shares equal blame with the SFPD, as they “make bargains deals” and send the violent punks back on to the streets within a week or less. In fact, during the nine month administration of both Chief Con Murphy and D.A. Arlo Smith, the crime problem has became far 'greater than it was under their predecessors, Charles Gain and Joseph Frietas, respectively, and this paper worked for both of their ousters. iPolice personnel morjil may be up. but accordingly so is crime, and we mean violent crime. Physical assaults are a regular sight both on the streets and in the bars of the Central City, but yet the residents and merchants cry for uniformed policemen and women walking Ithe beat in the Central City, goes virtually unheeded. ..he Central City Neighbors Association (CCNA) is requesting a hearing before the Police Commission to find out why the police [are unable to comply with the requests of the residents for help.

Hallinanv, Committee of Bar Examiners (Calif. 1966). Terence Hallinan was refused certification for admission to practice law in California by the Committee of Bar Examiners upon a finding that he was not of "good moral character."' The Committee's de- termination was based on Hallinan's beliefs and activities in connec- tion with "civil disobedience" and, in particular, several misdemeanor convictions arising from these activities.2 In addition, Hallinan's past record included several fistfights and other conduct which the Com- mittee held indicated a disregard for the law and a propensity for vio- lence.3 The Committee's decision was made after lengthy hearings I "To be certified to the Supreme Court for admission and a license to practice law, a person ... shall: ...

Introduction In his essay, Asking Jurors To Do the Impossible,' Peter Tiersma identifies several ways in which jurors have difficult, if not impossible, roles to play and suggests several steps that courts could take to aid jurors in performing these roles. He offers a number of recommendations, such as having judges instruct jurors in plain and specific language, allowing jurors to ask questions about the instructions, and explaining to jurors the reasons for certain rules.2 His recommendations are sensible, and courts would do well to follow his advice. With the exception of his call for the creation of expert juries in technical cases,3 I agree with his recommendations, though I think there are good reasons to go even further than Tiersma does with several of the reforms he proposes.
