On Sunday evening dozens protested the San Francisco police response to the Dolores Hill Bomb event that ended in mass arrests Saturday night.
Demonstrators began their march in Clarion Alley then walked across the street to the Mission District police station.
"The cops came up there and some kids were trying to light fireworks and sh** off there and then three or four kids rushed the little barricade thing on the actual Dolores hill," he said."But it was -- it was still fun at first and then it turned into a little bit of a riot." "We're outraged by the unprecedented -- one of the most violent responses -- we've seen the police conduct in San Francisco in recent memory in response to a bunch of teenagers. It's an annual tradition," said Jeffrey Kwong, president of the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club.
Let's recall why officers were deployed to the event. In years past, this unpermitted event resulted in severe injuries and even death. Our officers were there to try and facilitate a safe event. However, when the participants chose violence and destruction over fun and community, our limited number of officers were taken from protecting other neighborhoods to deal with this chaos. Yes, these rioters wasted valuable police resources with their actions.
