SFPD

Today, the head of the San Francisco Police Department stepped down at the request of mayor, Ed Lee.  It is in the wake of a shooting of an African-American woman who was shot by a police officer.  Suhr, had already been pressured to step down after there was another two shootings of minorities by police officers.  After the two previous shootings Suhr was part of a texting scandal that had racist and homophobic slurs and opponents to Suhr have had protests and food strikes to try and have Mayor Lee to make him step down.

  1. I didn't even hear about this in the media, and this is sad news. I'm sure there's a lot of mixed stories out there, and I wonder if there's any way these could have been stopped, and I'm sure the former head of police is wondering the same things.
