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 […]

Preston, Mahmood joust over police funding, housing in contentious debate

Bilal Mahmood, an entrepreneur and District 5 supervisor candidate, repeatedly picked fights with incumbent Dean Preston at a Wednesday night debate, scolding the incumbent for saying he would defund the police, and for criticizing national policies around police funding. “You are sending a message to police officers that their work is ‘pointless’ and that is why we are unable to hire staff and we are unable to arrest fentanyl dealers today,” Mahmood said. Preston shot back. “If you want a politician who is just going to, every budget season, write a blank check to this police department of $50 million to $100 million extra, with no accountability on how that’s being spent — if you want that kind of person — maybe he’s [sitting] to my right.”  “He is,” Mahmood agreed “So you’re a rubber stamp for police budgets?” Preston said incredulously at the UC […]

Female hot dog vendor tackled, handcuffed by SF police

Video obtained by Mission Local shows San Francisco police tackle and handcuff a woman on the Embarcadero this morning as her young daughter cried hysterically — during a confiscation of her hot dog stand. The woman could be heard saying “Ya, me voy, me voy!” or, “I’m leaving, I’m leaving!”Onlookers filmed as the woman struggled on the pavement with two officers who were pulling her arms behind her back to handcuff her. A worker in a yellow vest blocked onlookers from approaching or filming up close.  “It’s ‘cause she fought with the officers,” another worker in an unmarked yellow vest told an onlooker as he rolled the hotdog stand away. “These are being confiscated by the Department of Public Health.” A witness told Mission Local that the woman was upset about her cart being confiscated and officers were holding her back as […]
