Posted by ChrisWe’re calling BULLSHIT on this investigation. How the hell can you dismiss the excessive use of force in this case? Let’s see how the SFPD handles their business tomorrow.
Posted by bkAccording to today’s San Francisco Chronicle article, this week’s planned “Wild in The Streets” gathering in San Francisco by the brainstormers at Emerica lacks the proper city permits for such an event and has several city officials on edge.
“What a bunch of knuckleheads,” said SFPD Capt. Denis O’Leary of Southern Station, who is busy enough these days getting ready for Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game next week. “I guess I better start preparing for this one.”
Yes Captain, begin to prepare for a proper game of cat and mouse if need be. We at SkateDaily have to ask again, “Where are those promised SF skateparks Mayor Newsome?” 7 years and counting…
