National Day of Action Demands End to Murder by Police
April 14 Action to Stop Police Violence Disrupts SF Supervisors Meeting
On April 14, a call to end business as usual to stop police killings brought demonstrations and protests from coast to coast. In San Francisco protesters took to the streets in La Mission and on the steps of City Hall. From 2005 to 2013, the San Francisco Police Department killed 19 civilians by gunshot. That has continued in the last two years fueled by racism within the SFPD as revealed in text messages among police.
At least two hundred protesters went to City Hall and disrupted the Board of Supervisors meeting, chanting "no justice, no peace, no racist police." On the steps of City Hall, Supervisor Avalos said, “… that black individuals in the Bayview District are under constant surveillance and racially profiled, but if you're white and if you're out there partying in Dolores Park, nothing happens." Campos declared, "We have had enough!" Undaunted by the presence of sheriff’s deputies wearing riot gear, protesters gathered in the atrium of City Hall to continue protesting.
Simultaneous actions took place in Oakland and Stockton, too.
