May 24th Rally and March to File Petitions About Lt. Martin Halloran
San Francisco Medical Cannabis Patients Outraged at Officer's Misconduct
There was a rally and march on Wednesday, May 24th before petitions about Lt. Martin Halloran of the SFPD were
filed. The intial rally took place at 4:20pm at the Hall of "Justice" (850 Bryant St),
with an additional protest at 5:00pm at SF City Hall. For the past six years, Lt. Martin
Halloran (SFPD #772) has engaged in entrapment, intimidation, and harassment of San Francisco
medical cannabis patients and caregivers. He has ignored the orders of his superiors, and has
even falsified police documents after arresting legitimate medical cannabis patients. He has
also made public statements against medical cannabis at many neighborhood group meetings.
Protesters believe Halloran's actions are in direct violation of the policy of the City and County of San Francisco. They demand that Lt. Halloran be held accountable for his numerous offenses against San Francisco medical cannabis patients and be disciplined accordingly. They want to have him taken off of the medical cannabis dispensary (MCD) detail, and that all SFPD officers stop investigations, surveillance, and arrest of cannabis patients, caregivers, and MCD operators. Medical cannabis supporters reminded the city that Halloran's actions led to the convictions of Stephanie Landa, Kevin Gage, and Thomas Kikuchi. The city of San Francisco had approved their garden, but the DEA "somehow" knew about the garden and arrested the three.
