Talk about a bunch of losers and idiots in San Francisco.
From the San Francisco Chronicle: A San Francisco police officer shot and wounded an armed 22-year-old
parolee in the city's Mission District late Thursday, prompting a
protest by dozens of people hours later, authorities said. Another group
gathered in the area Friday night, vandalizing banks and a restaurant.
A
plainclothes officer, part of a curfew enforcement team, shot the man
after he allegedly pulled a Tec-9 assault-style pistol in the 200 block
of 14th Street at 8:06 p.m. Thursday, police said.
The wounded
man, whose name was not released, was taken to the hospital. Police said
his injuries were not life-threatening. Police described him as a felon
previously convicted of assault with a firearm.
According to Sgt. Michael Andraychak,
a police spokesman, two gang task force police officers were working
with two probation officers when they spotted a pair of men they
recognized as gang members.
As one officer approached, Andraychak said, one of the suspected gang members fled, pulling a pistol as he ran.
As the suspect turned toward the officer and began to raise the pistol,
the undercover officer opened fire, Andraychak said. The man was
hit twice.
Sounds like a very shooting by the cops and the guy is lucky to be alive.
But....
Two hours after the shooting, several dozen people began protesting outside the Mission District Police Station
on Valencia Street. During the protest, someone spray-painted graffiti
reading "Killers" on the front doors of the station and damaged some
windows, Andraychak said.
Employees at cafes and restaurants along Valencia said they saw dozens of police cars and officers in riot gear lining the street.
"It's
always unsettling to see a bunch of cop cars and such, and around 15th
and Valencia, there were just like 30 police cars," said Kimmy Watson, a manager at Bar Tartine restaurant on Valencia.
Anthony Strong,
a chef at the nearby Locanda restaurant, described officers in riot
gear gathering in the intersection of 16th Street and Valencia, facing
east down 16th. Although he didn't see any protesters, he said onlookers
were heckling the officers.
Resident Phil Deschaine
said he saw the protesters eventually making their way down South Van
Ness Avenue chanting, "F- the police," and "Do you feel safe?" as police
cars and vans slowly trailed them.
