PoliceWatch Responds to Racist SFPD Videos
Bay Area PoliceWatch is condemning the offensive videotaped “parodies,” apparently filmed by dozens of uniformed San Francisco police officers, which demean women and people of color, as well as homeless and transgender people.
PoliceWatch held a press conference at 10a.m. on Thursday, Dec 9.

Bay Area PoliceWatchs' Five Demands
1. FIRE THE OFFICERS responsible for the demeaning videos, including and especially the senior officers.
2. NOTIFY ALL DEFENDANTS who have been convicted (or entered guilty pleas) based on testimony of officers involved, so their attorneys can file appropriate motions.
3. CONDUCT A BIAS REVIEW of all legal proceedings in which the involved officers have taken part over the past five years.
4. CLEAR THE BACKLOG of wrongful death disciplinary cases in which Black families allege racial bias in the police killings of their loved ones. Clear the backlog by end of 2006.
5. INCLUDE GRASSROOTS VOICES and perspectives on the “Blue Ribbon Commission.”
