S.F. youth groups want more juvenile protections from police

Youth advocates and community groups sent a joint letter to the San Francisco Police Commission on Wednesday requesting that a potential new policy on how police interact with juveniles further limit the use of handcuffs. It also asked that officers default to the least restrictive response possible when dealing with youths. At present, the draft policy gives officers discretion on whether to handcuff youths being taken to non-jail facilities. It allows youths to be handcuffed until a search can be conducted by their preferred gender of officer. Juveniles may also be handcuffed to a stationary object for a maximum of 30 minutes, with room for extensions. There is no other mention of when to use handcuffs.  The policy has long been planned in group meetings that have included police commissioners and other stakeholders, including the nine groups that signed onto today’s letter. The […]

Safaí, city planner, talks transit, trees, rent control with architects

On Tuesday evening, Ahsha Safaí, the District 11 supervisor and mayoral candidate, was at a small event with architects at the William Duff Architects firm — an audience, more or less of his peers, for the MIT-trained city planner.After a longer-than-expected Board of Supervisors meeting, Safaí arrived at the firm’s kitchen around 6 p.m., about half an hour behind schedule. There was sparkling water, cashews in paper cones and a bottle of Excelsior wine — a fitting vintage for the Excelsior supervisor.Since the start of the year, the architectural firm has invited all leading mayoral candidates for a meet-and-greet, and this was the last. The firm, on Folsom and 9th streets, is located in a space transformed from a previous carpet store, with high wooden ceilings and a living tree growing in its center.  It was evident from the beginning that […]

Idiot Trump Accidentally Debunks Himself at Pennsylvania Rally

Donald Trump played a strange video at his rally Wednesday meant to criticize Kamala Harris’s plan to increase taxes for the middle class. But a closer look at the video finds that none of the clips included advocated for increasing taxes on the middle class.“She’s the taxing queen. She’s going to raise your taxes, where you’re going to be at least paying at least three thousand dollars a year more. Take a look,” Trump said before referring to the screen behind him. Behind him, Trump played a video that edited together different times Harris had announced her plan to “get rid of that tax bill” and “get rid of that tax cut,” referring to the corporate tax rate cuts Trump had installed during his time in office. In fact, two of the included clips are of Harris explicitly talking about […]

At the corner of 24th Street and Potrero Avenue is a Walgreens distinct from any other of the chain’s drugstores in San Francisco. The difference?
